I think the press are going a bit far with the way they are lambasting Haye, you would think he put in a Harrison-esque performance the way they are attacking him. Fact is his punch stats in terms of shots landed to shots thrown were only slightly off Wlads and this is taking into account that Haye is a counter puncher matched up against someone who fights at range. He talked himself up a hell of a lot so his fall was always going to be a rough one if he didnt bring home the belts and he shouldnt have brought up the toe but as he said it was not an excuse it was an explanation, people were asking where he thought he lost the fight. End of the day he went 12 rounds with a dominating force of heavyweight boxing despite clear physical disadvantages and he got the sport on the back pages again which others have tried and failed to do...
