    If Bellew beats Haye is he the greatest British fighter EVER?

    It would prove that it wasn't a fluke the first time. Beating Haye twice against all the odds. Also being a world champion.

    Is he the goat?

    The first time was lucky whatever happens this time. He was clearly losing the fight before Haye injured himself.

        Haye is shot to pieces right now, guy cant even hold his stance anymore and throws punches like a drunk.
        Bellew still got stopped brutally against Adonis Stevenson and would have got stopped by Kovalev if he didnt get fat as fk and moved up to HW.

        Hes far from being an elite fighter

          lol

          the winner of this circus fight proves absolutely nothing, neither are relevant in the division, one isnt even a HW, one is a complete cripple fighting to pay off his divorce bill.

          Hell even snakeoilsalesman Hearn knows this is a joke, hence why the undercard is stacked. if matchroom main events are even semi decent you won't even have 2 good undercard fights.

                Isn't it true? He went through a big divorce not too long ago and those settlements don't come at once, they're ongoing.

                Not saying he is or isn't fighting for that reason but he was retired, went through a divorce and what's the best way to make money? get back in the ring.

                Everyone knows men, especially with money like Haye get ruined in divorce settlements with kids involved. His body is shot to bits but he keeps coming back to fight because he probably needs to. It does seem a bit suspect that he returned after a divorce. He isn't the first fighter to keep fighting for that reason and won't be the last.

                  People keep saying that without any proof. I've heard people claim he's broke..etc. So much gossip and hearsay when it comes to Haye and his money.

                    Indeed. obviously nobody on here knows.

                    People in the boxing game have said it though and people talk. The boxing scene in the UK isn't that big. There's probably an element of truth to it.

                    He probably isn't broke by normals peoples standards of course, but it's all relative isn't it? the more you have, the more you get fleeced in divorces, the bigger tax bills you get etc...

                    Plenty of fighters have fought on because they needed the money, even though you would think they were comfortable.

                    Who cares anyway, we all have to make a living and Haye is making his, doing what he knows best.
