    Joe had some of the highest output ever in his class and was always in his opponents faces so enough with that coward idiocy. And, calling anyone a coward on an online forum is pathetic to begin with.

      My friend the only person who even comes close to insulting boxing, is Adrien Broner. The reason for that being the man is a total jacka$$ and this sport should have no place for his disgusting personality. If you ever stepped into a ring with a 6ft7 240+lb man I am positive your take on cowards in boxing would change. I don't mean to offend you but I'll have it Haye isn't exactly what the HW division needs, but he is in no way a coward. Had you mentioned the likes of Audley Harrison or a Bruce Seldon then maybe you would have had more of a point in regards to cowardly behaviour.

        No. But to Joe's credit, he set an extremely high coward ceiling

          Calzaghe a coward...Uh he went 46-0 with victorys over some of the most feared men in boxing.

          Haye is no coward. I don't like him,but he got in the ring with a 6'7 245 lbs beast in Wladimir Klitscko.

            I'm not a fan of Calzaghe but I can't understand how anyone can classify him as a coward. Haye fought overly cautious against Klitschko but Wlad wasn't engaging either. I know Haye got the majority of the criticism but they both stunk up that fight.

              Haye has proven despite his highly questionable punch resistance that he has big balls and is a willing warrior. He's no better or worse than Wladimir, probably better in terms of actual courageousness. Neither are anything to write home about.

                  What happens is this. Some kid is being ignored by his parents. He's too scared to make friends so he goes online & calls some fighters cowards from the safety of his bunk-bed.

                  He needs attention & now he's getting it. Hopefully this therapy will help the boy.

                    Watch Haye-Fragomeni, Haye-Chisora, Haye-Mormeck. Haye was hit hard against all 3 in fact Haye-Fragomeni was a war. The only boring fights I have seen Haye in were against Wlad and Valuev, against Valuev it seemed necessary and against Wlad they were both equally to blame.

                    I didn't see Wlad going balls to the wall trying to stop Haye and give him a pizza face either. and I'm pretty sure when Haye fought Mormeck that Mormeck had 2 of the cruiserweight belts and Mormeck was a pretty big hitter at CW and had just beaten O'Neill Bell. Haye-Solis was an amateur fight as well so it's irrelevant, but if you want to start bringing amateur records up then lets call Vitali a steroid user.

                    I'm not even a huge fan of Haye, but you clearly don't know a thing about his career outside of the Wlad fight. He is getting into the ring with guys that are 4/5 inches taller than him with 30-50 lb weight advantages or against Valuev almost 100lb weight advantages. In no other division is there that sort of disparity.
