This is a fan made featurette focusing on the boxer David Haye 'The Hayemaker'.
Ive put together a few short clips focusing on The Hayemakers most famous and destructive victories.
David Haye in my opinion is one of the fastest, most exciting and dangerous cruiser/heavyweight fighters of this decade. David Haye is the undisputed world cruiserweight champion consisting of the WBA, WBC and WBO world titles, and the former WBA world heavyweight champion after losing his WBA belt in a unification showdown fight against Wladimir Klitschko.
The Klitschko's being the dominant figures in the heavyweight division, which they now consist of holding all the world heavyweight titles between them to date. Prior to David Haye's involvement in the heavyweight division there has been at somewhat of a diminished significance since the last noticeable fighters (Lenox Lewis for example) retired. As quoted by Team Haye: "Team Klitschko are a business and rarely take on tough opponents unless they are forced to". After reading the opinions of respectable boxing critics and various blog acknowledgments online, I have come to agree with the obvious fact that the Klitschko's have infact killed off public interest in the heavyweight division by setting up fights with a various range of underrated fighters over the years varying from being either unfit, fat and fighters that are genuinely past their prime etc, whilst avoiding dangerous fighters such as the previous WBA champion Nikolai Valuev, the 7foot Russian giant also known as 'The beast from the East' whom David Haye took on and won in 2009. The victory over Valuev alone skyrocketed David Hayes reputation in the heavyweight division and here by promoting himself to be the one to end the reign of the Klitschko's, whilst reigniting the excitement and interest in the heavyweight division once again.
Sadly David's dreams of becoming the unified world heavyweight champion of the world was not meant to be as David Haye was defeated by Wladimir Klitschko on a majority points verdict. David Haye may have lost the fight and his WBA world heavyweight title but he achieved something that neither of the Klitschko brothers had been able to achieve throughout their careers, a multi-million dollar fight streaming on PPV's throughout the globe and resulting in Wladimirs Klitschko's (who was already seen as the dominant heavyweight) biggest pay-day to date. Throughout David Hayes professional boxing carer he has made it public knowledge that he intended to retire on his 31st birthday and sure enough that day came on 'Thursday 13/10/2011' when David Haye announced his retirement from boxing. There was speculation flying around in the media that David Haye would postpone retirement for either a rematch with Wladimir or a fight with his brother Vitali the WBC title holder. Unfortunately negotiations broke down on both parts as Wladimir was not interested in offering David Haye a rematch even though it brought him his biggest pay-day to date (stated above), Wladimir has chosen to fight one of David Hayes previous victims Jean-Marc Mormeck, a fight quoted by critics to be so unattractive it will send the heavyweight division back to the doldrums. Negotiations with Vitali also broke down as it was believed that Vitali's terms offered were simply not good enough, and there for the fight will not take place.
I applaud David Haye for what he has achieved in his professional career in boxing and for his courage to stand up against the Klitschkos to show the world that they are not the dominant force they make themselves out to be, that they are infact business men that have treated the heavyweight division as a business and as a result have killed the division off by doing so. As quoted by numerous ex boxing champions 'too many fighters stay on to fight that last fight resulting in long term damage', I believe one day soon David Haye will be able to look back on his long and successful boxing career and just simply smile. This is not however something I could say about the Klitschko brothers, the Klitschko's should either prove themselves to be worthy champions by taking risks against worthy opponents that are not just looking for a easy payday or to try and follow in the footsteps of previous champions and both retire with some dignity whilst still holding all the belts. If the Klitschkos were to retire I believe this would reboot the heavyweight division to flush with young hungry fighters once again.
Thank you for watching.

David Haye is a total FRAUD. He fought 2 decent guys his whole career. Mormeck, who was only semi-decent. And he parked Haye. And of course Wlad. Who SCHOOLED the one-dimensional DIVA

@DeutscheMusikVids Mormeck at the time considered to be the best Cruiser weight around which David K.O in his home town for his World Cruiser weight belt.
Wlad who has taken up a title defence against Mormeck only to pull out (again) due to abdominal pains, funny how David Haye still choose to take on Wlad with a broken toe.
Wlad hardly 'SCHOOLED' Haye, he just 'MANAGED' to beat Haye on a points victory with a broken toe!!
Some Heavyweight Champion of the World eh.
