Is David Haye going to fight again?

[techliam]

Yeah he doesn't care about the sport or the fans, just David Haye and David Haye's bank account and talking about how great he thinks he is.

If Vitali and Wladimir don't fight him again I think it's fitting that he'll remembered for his classless little toe excuse following the biggest fight of his career when Wlad showed him he wasn't as great as his ego professed.

I prefer the champions who take risks and fight for the respect as much as for the money. Talk on David.

David doesn't come across as the type of flashy guy that cares about money only. If you meet the guy, he's totally down to earth. You wouldn't know he was a millionaire just from his personality. His media persona is so much different from him as a person. Nor was he dominated by Wlad. The scores might have been wide, but most rounds like 2-3 jabs between them, that isn't domination. It was just a boring match, and Wlad played his cards right to avoid the one big punch. The excuse was pretty pathetic for a Heavyweight champ, though he has backtracked and said it wasn't an excuse for me losing, it was more for me falling down a lot.

I hope he fights again, he's arguably the most exciting and popular boxer in Britain atm. The Haye/Chisora fight sold out almost instantly. The annoying rain didn't put anyone off either. If there's a big fight out there that people want to see, Haye/Vitali is one of them. The guy nearly always delivers the goods.

I'm not sure why you think he didn't take risks. He fought a guy almost 1 foot taller than him, outweighed him by god knows what. Had a couple of fights inbetween (the Audley fight was down to domestic pressure, it was a big easy pay fight that people wanted, you can't criticise him for that) whilst negotiating with both Wlad and Vitali. Then fought Wlad, despite being only just heavier than a Cruiserweight, giving Wlad an awkward night.

Haye would take the Wlad rematch right now if he thought he could wrangle another multi-million pound payday out of it.

The only reason he's going after Vitali is because he was dominated against Wlad and has no grounds for a rematch.



I do see him as the British version of Mayweather in terms of how he manages his career.

Clever? maybe financially, but I don't feel the respect he has within our country will be as enduring as a Benn, Eubank, Froch or even Bruno.

I totally agree with everything you say. although, adding Froch is a bit hasty.

I just want to add. If you were an up and coming prospect who would you want to model yourself on ? I don't know the numbers, but, i would guess, Haye has made more £££ than all the top British fighters in the last 3 years.
