DAVID HAYE - A CAREER REVIEW

[@dorianwright6854]

Haye had a very good career to be fair. How many can was they have been Cruiserweight and heavyweight champ of the world? Not many.

[@erelpc]

A wonderful hour long tribute. He deserves no less of a send off

[@Midnight-ot3oi]

The two videos about the career of David Haye are some of my favourite you have *EVER MADE!*

[@ChuckFadanoid92]

Mohamed Ahmed So much nostalgia in these vids

[@sam-yn2ws]

That hatman laugh makes me chuckle 😂😂

[@highjumpking]

Excellent video on one of Britain's best ever Cruiserweights

[@theguvnor3880]

Haye will be remembered as a explosive world level cruiserweight who ok at heavyweight but ultimately fell victim to father time.

[@DrAAAli]

I was at the Manchester Arena when he fought Ruiz. Rd 1 that 1-2 combination is to this day the greatest I have ever seen at any weight.

[@mikeadams7904]

Awesome wasnt it. So quick

[@voltaspeeder17]

Ok, this was one of the best boxing tributes i've ever heard. Props to you Hatman, you really love and know boxing and it shows.

[@Technics_Trader]

Hatman your boxing knowledge is endless I could listen all day. Great videos 👍

[@SteveMHN]

This was a nice trip down memory lane.

[@tkf3478]

Thanks for putting this video together. My hat to you Hatman 👍. On a joking level, "there you have it people, Hatman has officially retired David Haye regardless of weather he's willing to retire or not." I reallyReally enjoyed this video, Hatman.

[@tomdude75]

David Haye will be remember as one of the greatest crusierweights of all time and a decent heavyweight who won a title. Also one of the biggest waste of talents ever due to injurys etc. He could have been one of the greatest fighters off all time

[@tomdude75]

Metatron Jr. No

[@ieb994]

He was at the highest level at cruiserweight for barely a second.

[@manny5310]

Should of stayed at cruiser weight

[@kena4573]

I can confirm that KFC in marble arch is no longer there

[@Apexbossman]

Hour long vid time to kick back

[@freddie1965]

Awesome! Loving all the content your putting out at the minute Hatman.

[@gatekeeperboxing5898]

I think the referee got fed up with Haye's falling over all the time whenever Klitschko leaned on him. In the end, he called it a knockdown to prevent Haye from continuing to go down so easily in the clinches. True it was not entirely fair tactics from Klitschko, but Haye was being overly theatrical at times.

[@DEEDUBZ]

David Haye was great for Boxing. Became his own boss and that's what life is all about.

[@Wanderer777jk]

Well said, he managed his own carrier and thats something to respect!

[@tarikcehajic1234]

I like David in his prime was a scary guy big respect

[@kingjames1101]

physically haye fell apart and his last fight where he looked anything like David haye was against chisora, prime david haye now in the division against aj wilder fury would of been amazing

[@asdadfafafafffallslsldd8068]

Hayes best performance compared to the level of opposition he faced was against Wladimir Klitschko. I've seen that fight several times and Haye's never been as good or as fit as he was in that fight. He can be proud of that performance even though it wasn't enough to beat a much heavier and taller prime Klitschko. It's funny to go back and watch that fight right after watching Haye vs Bellew 2. What a world of difference in footwork and movement. Haye didn't fight many world class fighters unfortunatly but he did beat some good cruiser weights. He has a great personality and is a true entertainer. I think Haye at his best was an amazing fighter but unfortunatly for him he struggled with his body and fitness for most of his career. And there's equally as many bad perfromances as there are good performances. He was better at selling and talking up himself and his fights than actually fightning them.

[@asdadfafafafffallslsldd8068]

I know. But I think his performance was good. A prime Wladimir Klitschko is uncomparable to Chisora right. That's why I added "compared to level of opposition he faced" It's easy to look good against lower level opposition. I was completely wrong about the Haye vs Bellew rematch. I believed in Haye and looked like a fool for doing so. Haye clearly wasn't as fit or injury free as he claimed. And I guess you make a fair point of calling him a lying con artist. I just enjoyed him in press conferences etc. He made some noise and it was entertaining. He could have saved us from the comeback for some last pay days though.

[@dangermouse_]

and he needed the officials help beating Chisora too. Bell ringing 10 seconds early in one round when Chisora had him in trouble and the referee pulling Chisora off him everytime he got inside for no reason

[@RossKempOnYourMum01]

Hatman sounds a bit like one of those Arsenal fans that was "Wenger out" for years and years. Now he's finally out, they've gone sentimental about it.

[@nabzalrash4955]

Definitely the second best cruiser of all time.. he won heavyweight and cruiser weight belts

[@adamjames6763]

Nobody stopped chisora that badly.. Until dillian come along lol

[@boxingmonthly]

I predicted the round

[@coinkidink9997]

He's the only Cruiserweight apart from Evander Holyfield to unify the Titles and then win a World Title at Heavyweight. He's already in the record books and is one of Great Britain's best Crusierweights in history.

[@Muzzaa]

Would love to listen to you do these longer videos on other fighters. Big up hatman.

[@ANineOne]

I'm listening to this and I can't help thinking that it sounds like an obituary, haha. Keep it up Hatman.

[@ZBOXINGTALK]

1. Jean Marc Mormeck (won the WBC/WBA titles) 2. Enzo Mac (unified 3 world titles against a highly rated champion at the time) 3. Valuev (won the WBA heavyweight title, poor fight overall) 4. Chisora (1st of only 2 fighters to KO Chisora) 5. Fragomeni (exciting victory against a future WBC world champion)

[@mohammedshafiq5097]

Hatman you should make more LONG videos like this.

[@Superchuffer]

Agree.

[@highentropy2468]

Hatman does on Patreon, well worth the small subscription fee imo.

[@matthewdolan8804]

highentropy2468 how much is it ?

[@AriGoldBawse]

Matthew Dolan $3 a month

[@TheKickboxingCommunity]

Haye is a two weight world champion. He went up, gave it a go, with the best heavyweight of that time and couldn't defeat him. People that say he's a bad boxer are just delusional.

[@shoto1600]

And then complained about his toe

[@jameseverall]

I think the fact that you can (and are willing to) produce nearly an hour of content on Haye is a good indication as to how much of a great career he's had. Very sad to see him go on too long and have it end like it did, but he brought boxing back to the mainstream after a good few years of unappealing boxing. On balance, I think he'll be looked back on quite fondly. Like him or not

[@lewishurley5591]

Your vids on Haye have been brilliant Hatman keep it up the vids bro 👍👍👍

[@tahirasiddiqui9697]

He remembered as box office prize fighter to me he is the best cruiserweight and biggest flop in heavy weight but will miss him characters like him make boxing fun

[@warbon8853]

Best Cruiserweight? Ever heard of Evander Holyfield?

[@tahirasiddiqui9697]

Warren B did I compare him with anyone? These days can't give a person a send off without someone having a opinion about it

[@replenishrewire4758]

Most exciting British boxer of all time IMO.

[@replenishrewire4758]

Anthony Mcken Yeah I rate him as more exciting than all of them but that's just my opinion. Wasn't a fan of Prince Naseem, I like Khan and Benn but Hayes fighting style puts him ahead for me.

[@jonathanlake3366]

Well examined hatman... I even went and watched back a few of these thank you 👏

[@ieb994]

48:05 dillian has taken care of that now

[@andrewhinds1449]

Saw David Haye the other day driving his Rolls Royce. Got a private plate D.haye.

[@Theemptythroneistaken]

I will remember him as one of the Greatest ever cruiserweights that just didnt have what it took for HW. Like roy jones he destroyed most of his promise when he went to HW.

[@truth8883]

Cruiserweight division was shocking when Haye was in it

[@Theemptythroneistaken]

MARVEL ONLINE That is your opinion.

[@pugilistking5606]

Thank you so much, Hatman.

[@Danjohnson666]

Fantastic video Hatman. I don't always agree with your opinions but I always appreciate them. This is a great video, say what you want about David haye but he will always be a memorable figure in British boxing

[@DeadDiznee]

Thanks for the upload, Hatman. I enjoyed this immensely.

[@AirTime14]

Really good career recap hatman

[@ralbenem1085]

Hopefully he will be remembered as a warrior who kept fighting despite his body breaking down, but I fear he will always be the man who lost to Tony "wife and kids" bellend.

[@Superchuffer]

Fantastic video. Love this long form.

[@theshed3641]

I seriously dislike Haye but I think it's nice you did a counter video to your earlier one hatman. Thanks for the great content as usual

[@shanemon11]

I will remember some great nights of boxing watching David Haye,he was a beast for sure but sadly carried on longer than he shud of done,saturday was hard to watch for me,i hope he retires now,dont wanna see him take that onslaught again,great video Hatman,thanks for doing this video on David Haye👍

[@ddom1621]

Great. I don't need to watch porn tonight.

[@pleasepressstart]

Let’s not forget David Haye’s heart to climb up off the canvas multiple times in his career including his last fight which despite him losing he went out on his shield. Also fighting on one leg until the 11 in the first Bellew fight, climbing through the ropes and actually made the count but the towel was thrown in. David was definitely a warrior in and outside the ring (Munich lol). Big up Haye but definitely retire now I don’t want to see him fight again.

[@ruthryan9173]

hatman you are so refreshing and informative unlike some of them wilder loving channels that are so ignorant and biased.....Love your approach and the ideas you come up with to generate your videos

[@ChuckFadanoid92]

So much nostalgia in these David Haye vids. Gotta love the arrogance and brashness of the guy

[@MCsorlotron]

Bro your tangents are jokes. Much love from a long time subscriber and non KZbin commenter. Fantastic videos keep it up hope it paying for the effort you have put in over the years.

[@Aaroncoll83]

Most charismatic british boxer in many years and probably most exciting to watch love or hate, kept it real! Hopefully fury comes through and ends the plastic man Joshua cant stand much more of him.

[@deanmadigan447]

Haye an english great so he was had it all

[@El_Nino90]

"David Haye remains at large" ......I'll never forget that headline loool

[@olliernic3789]

El Niño well it’s the risk Haye has got to take if he wants to retire on a loss? But it’s risky

[@El_Nino90]

Nah I'm talking about when he bashed up Del Boy and Don Charles then fled Germany... Newspapers had headlines saying he's still at large.. Like he's a mass murderer or something, was hilarious.

[@theinventor3986]

Superb video and together with the Cried Wolf one, well balanced.

[@kanewhitehead1522]

Sad news. I was hoping he would fight Charlie Zelenoff next

[@jamesjamieson6181]

Maybe we shouldn't laugh at people who have a serious mental illness. (I am talking about Charlie, not Haye, you understand.)

[@mareksmezalis5960]

The most exciting fighter to wait on and to watch for me. Shame I didnt see him live. Shame Bellew beat him, he was allso 2 nice to Bellend in buildup.

[@samvj2739]

I was looking forward 2 this upload and wasn’t dissapointed , 👍

[@dmo7594]

Do u think Haye will really retire? Ending his career on 2 losses to the same man, is that too much for Haye to accept?

[@user-zi7wb3tw6u]

Too risky too have a final farewell fight even a easy one. Body too untrustworthy

[@Ibrahim-ut6pn]

your right maybe he should retire on three straight losses instead

[@dmo7594]

Maria Richardson lmao, I just think his ego will make him get back in the ring.

[@Ibrahim-ut6pn]

i know what your saying, could haye take the humiliation?

[@dmo7594]

Maria Richardson I think he would be even more devastated but hopefully truly humbled.

[@littlformzy-boyakarick1931]

bellew vs joyce.....revenge through the apprentice

[@mannya4218]

That wont ever happen. Would make for a good build up though

[@littlformzy-boyakarick1931]

Emmanuel Amaning course it wont. be entertaining if it did tho

[@mannya4218]

trig 'n' tallula real talk/real life agreed

[@RM-di3ds]

Good shout Sellers v Thompson was brilliant!

[@lukehandley7930]

Would say that haye deserves credit for bringing beitish cruiser and heavyweight division out of obscurity but I dont think he beat good enough opponents at their respective primes at either weight class to be put in the realm of greatness or legend status but nonetheless I think he was tbe beginning of the heavyweight shake up that is continuing right now

[@frankjaeger393]

He had some electric performances and took risks in the ring and was exciting for the most part in the ring but his resume is a business first resume rather than a legacy resume, he was careful picking his opponents and didn't in the most part take the biggest risks that was fan pleasing, he should of fought more often and taken on more world class fighters in his prime, he could of fought Vitali he could of got himself a Wladimir rematch, Povetkin for regular belt was a avenue he could of taken, Steve cunningham in the cruiserweight division, instead he was fighting guys like Harrison and a still useful but declining Ruiz, he was world class he proved that when he did fight world class fighters and contenders but he was all about taken the fights for the most money for the smallest risk all to often and that has harmed his legacy.

[@andertonchigoneka5237]

Haye was great cruiserweight and could of fought a prime Curringham. A decent heavyweight but took too long face Vladimir and the less said about the fight with Harrison they better. Should of retired in 2013. Never should of came back

[@martinadejaquiz2482]

recently re-watched klitschko v's haye. agreed klitschko pulled haye down to the floor thus eventually the point deduction for it. i don't think klitschko did it again after the point deduction. after the point deduction i thought haye tried to fool the ref into thinking that klitschko was still pulling him to the floor. i kind of thought that was a bit dirty of haye and i have no preference or bias at all to either fighter. he did stretch the truth a bit (a lot). agree haye was needed at the time in HW boxing prior to the klitschko fight. yeah he brought excitement. that's how i'll remember him... a guy who brought excitement. very good video - liked - thx!

[@joebriggs8106]

I really liked David Haye, I found it very sad and typical of boxing to see his career end to Bellew in such a way. I don’t think his resume reflected his talent, he had good quick feet, fast hands, explosive puncher, and towards the end of his career shown massive heart. I’d have loved to the prime cruiserweight Haye in this generation of cruisers. I’m not saying he’d beat them all, but he’d certainly be a handful and would probably be favourite against all of them apart from Usyk.

[@davidc4429]

Outside the ring he was not a very likeable and reliable person but inside the ring he was always great to watch, i loved his hit and don't get hit, mid range, outside, sniping / ambush, explosive counter punching style. I always felt that was a great style and philosophy to have in a boxing ring, incorporating defensive elusiveness and safety with exciting hard hitting offence, but unfortunately it is a young mans style and at 37, 20 pounds heavier than optimum weight and lack of fighting in a consistent basis it was always destined to fail for him. I have been a massive david haye fan since '07 and just really want him to retire
