David Haye is just about the perfect example of overrated. The man was amazing at making excuses as well.
I forgot how embarrassing this was for Haye, throwing himself to the floor and at the end bleating about his little toe, pathetic.
I remember I convinced my parents to watch this on ppv. They never forgave me.
i am british . but i have always had the upmost respect for vladimir . the quiet man .
Vatali & Wladimir Klitschko
Haye saying that the fight "is going to be as one sided as a gang rape" is one of the more distasteful things I've heard a boxer say about an opponent, and that's really saying something.
Broken toe, twisted ankle and i got my ass kicked because I'm not in Klitschko's class. This is what happens when you believe your own hype.
One of the purest examples of how much of a dirty, sloppy fighter that jerk actually was.
I'd rather Haye just say it wasn't his night than show his toe.
Nobody give klitchko the credit he deserves.
I was disgusted by Haye's trash talking beforehand. He fought like a drunk in a pub car park and got a schooling. He then came out with numerous bullsh*t excuses as to why he lost. He then went on to fight three no-hopers to boost his massive ego, before getting hammered twice by Tony Bellew.
"The small man with the big mouth", both hilarious and accurate!!
He talked a lot , ran the whole fight, and blamed a broken pinky toe
Haye looked like a last minute fill in as opposed to a legitimate contender.
"Well respected at the time,Audley Harrison". WTF. He was the joke of British boxing and nobody said he deserved to fight Haye.
He was a great cruiserweight, but didn't have the size to match his confidence against the elites of the heavyweight division. Usyk has shown it can be done, but takes exceptional skill and grit. Haye just had more talk than he could consistently back up in the ring at the top level.
I remember thinking Haye had a shot.....until I saw Haye in the ring waiting for Wlad to walk in......and in his EYES I saw a man that talked his way into fight he wasn't ready for. His mouth wrote a check he KNEW he couldn't cash.
You know you're dealing with a loser when he immediately starts making excuses rather than simply admitting defeat.
At the end of round one Haye realised he had very little chance of winning because he couldn't find a way to get close enough to land a meaningful shot.
So according to Haye he lost because he had a sore toe.......but maybe he would have won if his face hadn't punched Wladimir's fists so many times.
