I think that a lot of people also forget that haye was a dominant cruiserweight world champion before stepping up to heavyweight. He has more chance of winning it next year if he can make a couple of successful defences.

Since he likes to talk so much, the tradeoff he made is obvoius. Thing is, he shouldn't talk about fighting unless he is willing to do it. He's in his physical prime and he backs out of fighting Klitchko... then afterwards, he wants to talk about knocking the Klitchkos out. The kid is fighting demonds in his head.

Personality! I'm afraid it should mean a little more than trash talk and mockery.

We need it to become more popular and then maybe the BBC or ITV will once again be prepared to spend money on showing the sport. But seeing as its called sports PERSONALITY of the year i cant think of anybody better than Haye, he is some personality Boxing is only going to be on Sky Sports from now on, ITV are not renewing their contract and ESPN dont seem to be bidding for rights to any English boxers fights.

Haye won the Heavyweight title which is a massive achievement, especially against Valuev. But, he fought once in 2009. Usually I would support the boxer to win the Sports Personality, but I feel Jenson Button deserves it more. However, I would be just as satisfied if Haye won it. I’m all for supporting our boxers.
