Let me start off by saying I am British and I used to love David Haye. When he was at Cruiserweight he was exciting and brash but people could live with it because it was still under the radar somewhat.
Ever since he beat Maccarinelli and made the move to heavyweight he has become a loud mouth yob. People like to hear the occassional bit of trash talk and needle between fighters but once you start talking about decapitating fighters and hoping to see your man twitch on the canvas things have gone too far.
Looking at his behaviour with Wlad this week and his body language its pretty obvious he is bricking it. Refusing to shake his hand, talking his usual rubbish and berating all of Wlad's achievements.... absolute doughnut, he comes off like a petulant child who's lost his bag of sweets.
I think the late great Sir Henry Cooper summed things up best when he attended the Haye v Valuev Presser - as soon as Haye came out with a T-Shirt showing Valuev's head decapitated he walked out, apparently saying "this isn't rubbish, this isn't boxing"
I for one hope Haye gets his ass handed to him on July 2nd and a bit of humility is thrown his way in front of millions.
