Hi David. I don't think there are enough boxing fans out there to make a comment. My thoughts:
* I am guilty for some of this. I was a big Tyson fan and his bad behavior in and out of the ring encourages other fighters as a way to get attention. I recently purchased a DVD of every one of Tyson's fights, and his tactics in the ring in many of his fights was awful.
* The slap from Chisora to Klitschko in the pre-fight conference was "not nice", but I chalked that up to some pre-fight hype to sell tickets. Then he spit water at Klitschko's brother, and threatens to "shoot" people.
* Chisora at the press conference - he should have not left the stand to challenge Haye, especially with all the beer bottles around. Where were his people and the security? 2 year ban.
* Haye - I thought he retired? Wants a fight with Klitschko, but maybe saw an opportunity for a "grudge match" with Chisora. 5 year ban (in effect retiring him),
