    Not that his age is a problem at HW but 3 years of inactivity at that age is definitely going to cause a problem.

    It's a shame he "retired" after Klitschko and then Chisora fight. So what he lost to Wlad, neither guy did anything in that fight. He knocked out Chisora in a way nobody else has managed.

    He is an exciting fighter and had a lot of speed and power, he could have still been in a lot of good fights and won. It's a shame he never really had the heart or desire to be in the mix.


    This pretty much wraps it up for me.

        That marko monk guy is absolutely horrendous.

        Look at this fight:



        Holy hell he's awful. The guy he was fighting was 2-0 and looked to have better skills.

          Decent comeback fight, who would you prefer he face someone one the level of Harrison, Ruiz or Chisora. ? All three are useless at least this 'Marko Monk' guy looks after himself even if his talents are lacking.

          Haye has always been selective whom he faces, it isn't an exciting match up but if he fights a live dog next I'll be happy with whoever he fights next, is it really any worse than who Fury and Wilder have faced to date with the exception of Stiverne. The answer is a conclusive no.

            I don't care who he fights, but any of the three fighters you mentioned would wipe the floor with this guy. He's a doorman disguised as a prize fighter. In fact, that's his level - barely - prizefighter level.

            Yes it's definitely worse than that. This guy isn't even a boxer.

            But he's been out for 3 years, so I understand it. Doesn't change that they've searched all over the world for a guy with a good record, but who is absolutely shyte.

                Would be sweet to see Joseph Parker or another young buck knockout Haye.

                  Harrison was prizefighter level and that was a British PPV in his final outing before facing the champ. It was swallowed up by Haye's legions of British fan boys and casuals alike.

                  How is this fight any worse ? If 'Manko Munk' fought Harrison I am certain he'd wipe the floor with him.

                    how was he prizefighter level when he won it twice + was European champion?

                    Lol, this guy would seriously get iced by Harrison in one round.

                    He's a clubfighter.

                      'Harrison would ice him in a round' yeh sure.

                      And in other news, Elvis has announced his comeback tour from a subterranean motel on the dark side of the moon.
