how is it WWE? loads of boxers have nicknames, his names david haye and he's renowned for his punching power so he's hardly gonna call himself davd the jab haye!
difficult to get your jab off when you're fighting blokes about a foot taller than you, you need to get past their jab and look to land big punches on the inside, that's the only option, haye failed to do that against wlad (one of the most physically imposing boxers in heavyweight history) and has been slaughtered by casual fans for it, but in reality, he never stood a chance.
haye was the linear champion in his natural weight class and could have carried on fighting and dominating the less glamorous cruiserweight division for years, but he took the step up, you've got to give him credit for that. so what if he's a bit brash, this is boxing, you want characters - goodies and baddies - it sells fights and to be fair to these guys they're in it to make money, not to display the supposedly noble artform of boxing from yesteryear! how boring would it be if they chatted scripted media trained flimflam like footballers do now?
