He convinced me he was going to beat Klitschko, me and my friends got the PPV and were treated to one of the most cowardly and terrible performances in a heavyweight title fight.
After that Haye has just chased fame and money, a total fraud who should never have came back.
An egotistical maniac..... any one who likes a man of his character is a fraud as well. These guys don't mix it in the working class.

A great salesman.
A good CW in a poor era that avoided the real threats and probably one of the worst ever HW titlists. He knew how too sell a fight though.
People may say it was **** talk but I feel Tony Bellew summed him up perfectly and spoke the truth of what he really was as a person and a fighter. Absolutely hit the nail on the head for me.

If he stayed at Cruiserweight he'd have had all the belts and ruled as Lineal Champ for a good few years and probably been able to build a HOF resume. He could have moved up to HW later in his career and got a few big money fights (Chisora, Whyte, Parker, Bellew etc) and that would have been better for his legacy.
Nevertheless he had a career most could only dream about and made a lot of money.

I remember him beating the Giant Valuev then the " Toe " fiasco in the Klitschko fight. With a couple KO's of pretty good Cruiserweights prior to that .

Overrated fighter who was nowhere near elite level, but a fanstastic salesman who consistently duped the British public into lining his pockets

He had a very good career most fighters can only dream of. He has made millions of dollars without taking much punishment and as a fighter, there is nothing more you can wish for.
