Stop disrespecting David Haye, the Man is Great!

[Cuban Linx]

David Haye was exciting at cruiserweight. That's about it.

At HW he delivered a bunch of stinkers. The Valuev fight, where he threw 12 punches per round, was awful. The John Ruiz fight was very unimpressive, he could have taken Ruiz out way earlier. The Audley Harrison fight was another disappointing fight and lasted 2 rounds longer than it should have. The Klitschko fight was awful. The Chisora fight was entertaining, I'll give him that one.

That's one entertaining fight at HW, the rest were just not good at all.

He's a little shithouse. A pumped up cruiserweight who tried to play with the big boys.

Haye was a great cruiserweight champion who moved up and gained a portion of the heavyweight belt. He has something like over a 90% KO ratio. He's not the greatest of all time but he has done enough to be in the hall of fame.

Yet another man who disrespects Haye because he thinks everyone else is doing it.

He was a good cruiserweight champion sure. He had two title fights. Is that enough to get into the hall of fame?

Then why don't we include everyone who's ever won a title? Let's get Chris Byrd in the hall of fame.

What about John Ruiz - two time paper champion.
Valuev, Steve Cunningham, Tomasz Adamek etc.

Let's get all of them in.

I don't know what's funnier you saying Haye should be in hall of fame, or accusing me of being a hater of Haye. I think most people on this forum would find that pretty funny as well.

Haye destroys Ali within 7 rounds max.

TL;DR

David Haye isn't a great. His best win is Jean Marc Mormeck.

he isnt great or a HOFer, but people should stop disrespecting him along with every other world champion. with the amount of success he has had in the sport you cant disrespect him without disrespecting the sport in general, if an (insert offensive word) could do what he has done boxing must be easy. except its not and david haye is a badass, he couldnt make it at this level in boxing if he wasnt.

Another muppet who disrespects Haye just for the sake of disrespecting him. Haye is a hall-of-fame cruiserweight and if you don't know that than you should delete your account.

In your signature you equate Floyd getting hit with a couple of punches with getting schooled yet I'm the one who should delete his account.

You're a fucking ******, lad.

Talent wise and h2h wise Haye is a very very good fighter. He would cause problems to most of the HW champions. Combination of his speed and power is something rarely seen in HW...

but that being said, his work ethics is just awful. He wasted his talent if you ask me. Would I include him in HOF atm? NO!

if he comes back fights and beats Fury, Wilder, Povetkin, Pulev or at least 2 of these I would reconsider..

[just the facts]

Let me guess, you don't have a fking clue who David Haye is or what he's accomplished do you? No I didn't think so, you probably don't even know he used to be a cruiserweight. I like how you call my post garbage but you can't come up with anything to refute me, shows me again that you don't know sh!et about Haye or boxing and you just want to hate on Haye for the sake of hating on him.

and toe jokes? really dude? it's 2014 not 2011. Grow the fk up kid.

and gtfo of my thread.

Kid my azz, I've been a serious fan of this great sport since the early 70's. Yes I am fully aware that Haye was an undisputed cruiser weight champ and had a version of the hwt title. Again, Haye will never, ever be in the HOF. He just plain doesn't have the quality or quantity of wins to get there. Your arguments don't hold water. Undisputed Cruiserweight champ, yes but for only 2 fights and being the cruiser weight champ doesn't carry much respect anyway. Also remember Haye was knocked cold before he was the champ. No quality wins as a Hwt, you claim his win over Valuev as quality? While Valuev got the decision vs Holyfield, that was an ancient version of Holyfield and most felt Holyfield deserved the nod. Then to top it all off, in his moment to shine, he spent three months telling everyone how he was gonna decapitate Wlad, shoot his dog and screw his momma. Then on fight night he pi$$ed down his leg and fought like a scared *****. Then blamed his big toe. HOFer? Hell no

[Awesome-O]

Thanks for the laugh.
