Comments Thread For: Haye Advised To Retire After Surgery, Fury Fight Off

[yoz]

Although I am a bit su****ious now, since Vitali might be having one more fight and Haye is pulling out of the fight in Feb?

also the fact he says "may retire"

you either retire or u don't, there is no "may"

maybe an offer has been made by Bonte?

Haye goes where the money goes and the belts

This ^^^^^^.

This ^^^^^^.

Vitali-Haye in 2014.

I think that's what will happen

Its a fight than can be easily sold to Europe

The fact the article says Haye needs 6 months to recover and that "he may" retire makes me ponder

Until he officially retires I am not believing any of this, if he doesn't retire then he obviously pulled a fast one to fight Vitali


Furys camp mentioned before that Vitali might make an offer to Haye and he'd ditch their fight and go on to fight him instead.

Former world champion David Haye has been told to "seriously consider" retiring from boxing after undergoing reconstructive shoulder surgery.

The 33-year-old, who won world titles at Heavyweight and Cruiserweight, has called off his planned fight against Tyson Fury on 8 February and may well have fought for the final time.

Fury said Haye would pull out from the second fight also lol
where are the idiots who said Vitaly is ducking that ass clown?

Haye pulled out from the first fight with Fury because of the cut, but 2 days later there was no cut lol
He had his pic taken at some NFL game

Not a Haye fan at all, although I'm not a Haye hater either, and some of his injuries and pull outs have been highly su****ious, which maybe make some of the feedback here justifiable. Still, I think the injury here is real in this case. Even assuming Haye thought he would lose to Fury, for 5 mil, the fight made sense. Haye isn't getting any offer so lucrative as that. As for Vitali, if VK doesn't retire, he'll be fighting Stiverne next, he's already said that. I don't think anyone but the most bizarrely irrational klitschko haters will say that Haye's chances would be as good or better against VK as again Fury, and realistically he'd probably get less for that fight than against Fury.

Anyway, on the heels of a bunch of interesting HW matches that have been falling through, this is highly disappointing. If this is it for Haye, then, even though I find him an obnoxious jerk with even more obnoxious fans, I'll give him this: he has been arguably the #3 or 4 HW in the division the last 3 years, fought better people than his haters gave him credit for, and was an interesting fighter to speculate about. When the dusk settles on this era and the hate has died down and moved on to others, he should be considered a top 50 ATG HW, who if he'd been busier and less injury (real or fake) prone, could probably have clearly established himself as the #3 HW of his era and a top 25 ATG.

I was hoping Haye beat this dude, now he backs out....another year of Fury's mouth.

[thuggery]

Haye never though he could win anyway.

Haye sure can find different ways to back out of fights.
