By John F. McKenna (McJack): Last Saturday nights showdown between former WBA champion David Haye (25-2, 23 KO’s) and world champion Wladimir Klitschko (56-3, 49 KO’s) was the most anticipated heavyweight title fight in many years. It was also one of the biggest disappointments to boxing fans who, after hearing all the trash talk by Haye expected a lot more from him.

Wladimir left Haye embarrassed after his one sided victory over him. In a brand new You Tube video Vladimir mocks Haye. In the video Klitschko remains silent, but the pictures and Wladimir’s facial expressions do all the talking. In the first picture Haye is holding Wladimir’s decapitated head. That picture of course referenced the T shirt Haye showed up with at a press conference in 2009. The next picture shows Haye holding both Vitali’s and Wladimir’s heads while their lifeless corpses lay on the canvas in the ring. Next there is a picture of Haye wearing a T shirt he had specially made depicting the severed heads and bodies of Vladimir and Vitali.

The video continues with a picture taken from Saturday nights fight of Haye down on his knees on the canvas with his arms wrapped around Wladimir’s legs. Next is a picture of Vladimir with a raised eyebrow, trying not to laugh at Haye. Next up is an image of Klitschko with his brother holding all of the belts, including the one he just claimed from Haye.

This is followed by a picture of Haye’s swollen toe. Many have slammed Haye for using the swollen toe as an excuse for losing the fight in which he was clearly outfought.

The final item shows an English newspaper which has the headline “Hero Toe Zero” and shows an image of Haye holding his head down in defeat. Also, to add insult to injury there is a picture of Haye’s toe. That picture was actually posted by Haye himself on his Twitter account.

The video was posted on the Klitschko You Tube channel yesterday and it has gone viral with 288,000 hits in just one day and is expected to hit a few million within a week.

The question being asked now, is Wladimir right in posting the video on You Tube mocking Haye? Or does David Haye deserve all that’s coming his way because of his boasting, trash talk and outrageous behavior?

At this point it would probably best serve David Haye to remain silent and take his lumps. With his high profile there is nowhere to run and no place to hide.
