    A Shame David Haye Never Fulfilled His Potential

    David Haye was always a very talented fighter, had skills and natural ability that could have potentially made his one of the greats. A real shame that his career was littered with injuries, that's just sometimes the way it goes for some athletes unfortunately. Definitely had moments a greatness but was a shame to see him go out like this tonight, showed tons of heart to his credit. Would be a long road back if he was to try and come back from this latest injury which looked like it was possibly the shoulder as well as the leg injury, which is unlikely to be good news in the coming days. Wish him luck in the future.

      David Haye career breakdown:

      1 great win: Mormeck
      3 other memorable wins: Fragomeni, Enzo Mac, Valuev.
      2 clear defeats: Thompson, Klitschko
      1 defeat through injury: Bellew
      Undisputed world champion at Cruiserweight
      World title holder at Heavyweight

      Overall: A very good career especially considering he was champion in two divisions but did not fulfill greater potential.

      That's how he will be remembered.

        It's the character of the man OP. His young son was on one of those parent-kids TV shows with him and basically told the audience all Haye cared about was money.

        Had to laugh when Bellew put the glove out to tap and Haye took his kindness for weakness. Bellew saw it coming though, he knew he was a snake.

                  He was having therapy on his injured baby toe during those years.

                    Unfortunately Haye did miss out on some key years due to injury.
