But I guarantee that people won't be talking about him or his ability in years to come. I understand that you need a certain amount of confidence and cockiness to sell tickets (or yourself as a brand) but he'll never be referred to as one of the greats. Herbie Hyde was more entertaining (as mad as a box of frogs, yes) and even Bruno was better to watch and he only had one punch. Now he thinks he's a jockey - poor devil.
I'm sure Haye will be rolling in money until the day he dies and yes I'm sure we'll all be working until we're in our mid sixties (and more in some cases) but even with all this money he'll still be known as the bloke who blamed a broken toe for his underestimation of an opponent. Klitshko did none of the trash-talking and just got on with the job of destroying everything that Haye has worked for.
But, good post MB.
