he's a bit of a dick, granted. But he's trying to gain some sort of mental advantage and is himself extremely nervous.
give him a break.

mental advantage?
by not shaking hands... all that says is "im a massive cunt... your not the only one who wants to punch me in the face"
David hayes mum has gone on record to say she hates the way he conducts himself before a fight....
if your mom aint got your back...your in the wrong.

I said he was trying, not that he was being successful
Personally i think everyone should conduct themselves like andre ward or pacquiao before fights. it's much less tedious than all this "shit talking"

also its much more effective...
the guy who speaks politely and eloquently...who then goes onto DESTROY THEIR FACE!

in essence...we agree.

I hate David Haye..
Before the Harrison fight, in a live interview, that the fight would be as one sided as a gang rape. (Ok he was right) But that is such a brainless thing to say, and to still get nominated for Sports Personality of the year?

There are plenty of of boxers who conduct themselves well
just because haye is the most well known here (though not the best active english fighter) doesn't mean all boxers are like him.
If you followed the sport you'd probably realise that this kind of thing is more the exception than the rule.
don't compare boxing to the wwe or whatever bollocks.

I don't think anyone is comparing the actual fights
but the media circus that surrounds them is pretty tacky and does the image of the sport in general no favours.

yeah, that is true.
PPV's kill the sport too. Only having a small number of people watch so you can get better short term profits, how is that supposed to increase the fanbase?
Much of the farce comes from the big heavyweight era really. It's ok when you have ali and frazier. they genuinely hated each other and don king could put on a show. Not to mention ali genuinely did have a lot of character. but all this forced fake hate stuff is a little embarrassing.

I'm in a flat and can't get Sky.

agreed
my best mate just had his first match and the fitness levels alone are insane. And PPV...., being the total anti murdoch grinch that I am, when it gets going like this....well, football, cricket, rugby etc etc have all gotten skydmarks on them.
And police are looking younger and food tastes bland and eeh look at the price of catfood.

Haye is a wanker
Regardless, I want him to knock this respectful bugger

It's going to look even worse for him if he get's beaten after all this trash talk
At least Wladimir said that he respects his opponent; if he get's beat, then fair enough. But calling your opponent a fraud, and then getting beaten is going to make Hayes look like a twat.
