As a British fight fan, and ex boxer myself, I supported David Haye tooth and nail throughout his HW campaign, and indeed was expressively vocal about my confidence in him beating WK in their much anticipated clash back in July.
Therefore after the fight I was feeling a mixture of fury towards his lack of effort. I felt he cheated and mocked me and of course i felt great embarrassment for the things I’d said leading up to the fight (none more so than comments on this very forum).
I took this on the chin, and apologised (particularly to wladisthechamp), licked my wounds and moved on.
However, i am a sucker for a happy ending.
The ONLY thing David can do to save his reputation is to continue fighting, and winning and winning WELL. Keeping his mouth shut and letting his fists talk for him.
I personally would be prepared to forgive and forget July’s abomination were he to lace them up again and challenge Povetkin, or take a fight with VK (who I believe would happily offer the fight). Even a good domestic battle with David Price, or Tyson Fury would generate huge interest on our shores
Forget ‘slave contracts’, forget money – he’s got enough already – all those £15.00 PPV costs us Brit’s spent, he’s set up for life now.
David, for YOUR own sake, come back and fight. Strive to be remembered as a man with courage who was prepared to go into the trenches, show your metal. Show us you are a LION, an Englishman with guts.
If he slips away now under the radar i will be exceptionally disappointed.
