Was Haye’s Injury a Good Thing?
By Chris Williams: While a lot of boxing fans see former cruiserweight David Haye’s injury as bad thing since it caused the cancellation of his June 20th title fight with IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, it might actually be a good thing for Haye if you think about.
