    Should David Haye Retire?

    Yes, he said he will but I think that was just another tactic to get more people (especially his fans) to buy the fight. Yes, it was BS and yes, he lied. But he's still young and has a lot of talent.

    I do not think he should retire. There's some good fights at heavyweight that can be made. He should get another trainer and work on a few things.

    Yes but he won't retire that's for sure.

      I just lampooned him a bit for his toe (cuz I think that was a bit of nonsense) but no, I don't think he should retire. He showed he HAS a chin, has speed and power--he just needs more courage. If he had Vitali's fighting spirit (and a little less boorish pride) he could be excellent.

      He should fight Vitali, and not because I want to see anyone hurt or humiliated. I think it would be interesting as hell.

        He has no intentions of retiring. He was lying.

        But I don't think he has the heart of a fighter or a love for the sport. So I imagine he'll take some time off now, and return in early to mid 2012 when he figures out another scheme to make another big payday.

          I think he still has the ability to create good fights against other guys such as Adamek, Arreola, Povetkin, etc

            I just skewed the results, because it was too funny to resist, but no, he should not retire.

                    He should only retire if he doesn't plan on fighting more regularly.

                    I don't want to see him back if he's only going to fight once a year. There is no reason why he can't fight Fury-Chisora winner in October, Adamek in March, and maybe Arreola or Klitsckho again in September.

                    He's slick, he's talented, and he's powerful. Haye vs Klitschko was always going to be a bad style match-up. There are still great fights out there for him.
