    At least Hatton got KTFO and didn't have it anymore.
    I'm not saying people should solute him. I'm saying a lot of garbage gets posted on this forum, it is nonsensical to get your panties in a twist over a former Heavyweight champs retirement being reported, regardless of what you think of him.

      I am willing to bet Mormeck could KO Audley Harrison so it's pretty pathetic for Haye to take a dig at Wlad's opposition.

      Haye beat one of the worst Heavyweight Champs of all time to win the title, then defended it against arguably the worst Heavyweight Title Challenger of all time.

      That's a pretty sorry legacy if there ever was one.

      It's clear from his comments both in the past that the man has no shame and no dignity. No respect for others and ultimately no respect for himself as all he does when he opens his mouth is make himself look like a damned fool.

        Going to take that bet?

        300 mil that Wach stops McCall.

        If Wach wins by decision, you win the bet.

            IMO, David Haye deserves all the vitriol from this forum and from anywhere. He's a total scam artist. Just ask any sports fan if they got their money's worth from Haye's biggest fights.

              How does it feel to take candy from a baby~

              On a side note what is the over under on years before Haye needs the money and comes back to the sport, I believe I would put it at 3 years.

                I know people hate David Haye but let's put things into perspective here. He was the former Heavyweight champion. For the first time in 5 years ( or more) casuals were interested in a heavyweight fight.

                So what if a few articles are dedicated to his retirement. It's a refreshing change for the daily article made around one sentence from Ariza or some bouncer suing Floyd for assault.
                No, let us really put things in perspective. Haye was the the WBA alphabet strap holder and that was it. And if anyone really thinks he did any favors for the sport of boxing as far as the casual fan is concerned, I say you are wrong. Because after all the jaw flapping he did and then not producing anything to back it up. Those casual fans that tuned in to watch may never again take boxing seriously. And it sure doesn't take much to satisfy British fans. Because, what the hell was so glittering about Haye's career?

                  Look I'm not going to get into an argument about the quality of his career as I am in agreement with the opinion that it is poor and people got suckered into the hype. The fact of the matter is he made a name for himself so it stands to reason that his retirement would be reported on a boxing site.

                      I was about to say leave haye alone, it's his life.

                      But then he took another shot at Wladimir Klitschko and the heavyweight division, why? at least retire with some class.
