Can't see him pulling out of another one...surely?Career over if so...

Spot on. Can they both lose?Both gobshites....Haye has no real recent form to go on, so I'm picking Bellew in 4....mainly because he gave that Creed kid a good fight.

"It is old news [the injury]. He can't pull out. He knows if he pulls out, he is a coward,"
"I have got in his mind but, ultimately, it is not going to matter what I say. If he was fighting anybody else but me, I really think he would postpone it."
"If he was fighting Shannon Briggs, Anthony Joshua, Wladimir Klitschko - any big, dangerous heavyweights - I believe he would postpone it."
"I think he believes he is going to walk through me and make it a real easy night. But, believe you me, he is in for a nasty, nasty shock," the Liverpudlian added.
It really wouldn't surprise me if the rumour originated from Bellew's camp, most boxing fans are not giving Bellew much of a chance and they know it. What does Haye really gain from winning this other than the money? He'll get no more credit than his last fights from most of his haters. What better way to cast a bit of doubt? Whether it's making out Haye is running scared and wants to pull out or about the outcome should he fight through injury the rumour suits Bellew more than it does Haye.
I hadn't seen the pic but I've just read an article on it now, the pic was only of him seeing a doctor in Germany who he'd known previously but there was no mention of an injury from Haye the only quote from him is "the world's no 1 sports doctor"(that implies he's more than just someone he goes to when he has an injury). So the rumour and speculation could still very well be the Bellew camp trying to talk up their chances. I think I covered why it certainly does suit him going into the fight quite nicely rather than Haye who is now taking flack based on this rumour in the build up to it. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see this reaction from the fans coming and it's not what you want going into a fight so Haye wouldn't have started this one for me.Haye has posted pics with the surgeon in Germany, it's all him this one...
It most certainly doesn't suit Bellew as he can't win either way now... Donkey if he's beaten by an injured opponent, lucky if he wins due to the same injury...

Most of what you say is more relevant after the fight, either way I don't see anything other than KO to Haye, Bellew is seriously overrated fighter who talks a better fight than he actually fights.
