Did David Haye earn your respect back?

dont know where you cats are from but ya'll sound like the type that would get ****d and robbed and take a load to the face and smile about it

Christ! What sort of people do you hang around with??

No, he was just being an irritating prat as usual. And security would have been well within their rights to throw him out. Blame them if you like.

No the blame is on Chisora he gave insults but got butt hurt when Haye gave him some back.

Throwing a few insults around is not the same as going around laying hands on and spitting at fighters.

Slapping someone is not the same as braining your trainer with a tripod then fleeing the country.

Did David Haye earn my respect back?

Well, since I'm not ten years old or have the mentality of one then no.

Respect as a boxer is gained in the ring. You fight hard, you wear your heart on your sleeve, you're gracious in defeat, humble in winning, you're respectful of your opponent and your fans. This is obvious to any true boxing fan. What's also obvious is that Haye has done none of these things, and what's worse has almost flaunted his contempt for these qualities these last few years.

Now arrogance in and of itself isn't bad provided it's backed up. Trashtalking in and of itself is also not bad, provided you back it up. Even fighting like Haye did when he was still being paid to do it isn't a crime, provided you don't big yourself up and dupe your fans out of their cash like any two-bit conman. Haye provided us with one of the most anti-climatic big fights of recent years, succeeded in destroying PPV in this country and turning hordes of fans and potential fans away from the sport and then dragged the sport into dispute and ridicule all for the purpose of bigging his retirement ass up for an unearned payday at a press conference that had nothing to even do with him in the first place.

And you're expecting me to not only forgive him, but respect him for it?

Fuck. Right. Off.

I don't give a crap if you think it was "self defence" or "standing up to the bully" or any of that schoolyard nonsense, what he did last Saturday was just one more cherry on the big old cake of lies and unfulfilled promises that is David Haye's career. He's an utter disgrace to the sport and to this country, and I hope the irritating sod stays hiding under his Las Vegas party rock.

And Holmes's fight with Berbick was way more entertaining.

More like he got fed up with that stuttering blowhard interrupting him every five seconds like Haye does to everyone who attempts to (rightfully) criticise him.

That isn't half as bad as biting a fighter, kissing a fighter, assaulting a woman and a police officer. Chisora is scum.

[LEFTYGUNZZ]

Cheating in a boxing match and getting hit 200-300 times? Which fight you talking about son?

There should be a comparison and I'm rightfully so in thinking it. If an old man comes at me I'm going to lay his ass out but Haye is a professional boxer. Something I'm NOT. That is a world of difference and you know it unless you're not using your head.

Just because you are a professional boxer does not mean that you cannot defend yourself or lose control in a heightened situation. I am not condoning hitting anyone especially someone who is defenseless. But at the same time if someone comes at you when your adrenalin is pumping like that. Knowingly stepping into a boxing ring with loaded gloves and fighting is not comparable............GuNzZ

That isn't half as bad as fighting Audley Harrison.
