Should David Haye Retire?

[The Dreamer]

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.

What do you guys think?

There are, but does Haye want them?

I'd love to see Arreola-Haye, but compared to the Wlad fight any other fight for Haye would be high risk low reward, and I'm not sure if he'd be interested in that...

Wlad improved by leaps and bounds in his 30s. I don't think Haye will ever reach Wladimir's level, but he can still improve quite a bit. He's still very new to the heavyweight division as well. If he stays in the game another three-four years, and his body allows him to add 15or so lbs effectively over time (not just balloon up like he did when he first moved up), he could be a force.

Plenty of good fights to make in the division involving Haye. Vlitali, Arreola, Adamek, ect.

Just a random thought that popped into my head: Think he'll try to fight Chagaev for "regular" WBA belt if they give it to him? I wouldn't put it past Haye.

honestly dont like the guy, BUT I think this taste of defeat may give him some perspective on the heavyweight class and maybe, with a little attitude adjustment, he can do something exciting with the dying class. I want to see him establish himself as a heavyweight and hopefully dig up some new promising contenders

Could not agree more.

To be fair, even though he did it among his excuses for losing, he did give Wladimir his due.

Haha, that's it. He's taking this route.

If he was to win maybe he'll put out another T-Shirt with the Klits decapitated and land a rematch with Wlad or Vitali

No I don't think Haye should retire I just think he shouldn't fight either Klitchko they are way too big. You don't see that disadvantage in any other weight division!! Haye vs Arreola or Haye vs Ademek would be good fights to watch!

It's his call, but I don't think he should.

The main question I had about David at heavyweight was his chin, but the extra weight seems to have improved his punch resistance. If he can take Wlad's biggest right hand and walk through it then he can take anybody's punch. Outside of the Klitschko's with their huge size advantage, I'd favour Haye against any other heavyweight.
