    Personally, I'd say it's probably stamina.

    To me, he seems to fight like he knows he can only throw a low limited number of punches a round and is therefore put in a bit of a straight jacket by that.

    In before "his toe" - ^ Blah! **** you, you Irisher!

    Poor stamina and I'm unimpressed with his footwork too. Also when he lunges in it leaves him badly off balance and unable to effectively follow up his attack with more shots

    You're behind the times mate. "Should go to America to train" is out of fashion, "Should sign with Matchroom" is the future!!!;)

    In addition to having rather poor stamina, Haye hasn't really ever demonstrated a varied offensive arsenal. He has a one-two. When it lands, and his opponent doesn't immediately hit the floor, he then shows a lack of composure by throwing wildly. Too many problems.

    Plain wrong. He didn't get "knocked out" by Carl Thompson, he got stopped on his feet...its true that his stamina failed him but his chin didn't

    Balance. It's absolutely abysmal.

    Even worse than his ability (or lack of) to finish a spent opponent.

    :huh

    Haye has stopped almost everyone he's had hurt. What spent opponents has he ever let off? Carl Thompson? Maybe but Haye pummelled him, it was only a lack of stamina and incredible toughness from Thompson that lost him that.

    You might not like the guy but he's definitely one of the best finishers out there. Sure, sometimes he jumps in too wildly but he's still really dangerous once he senses the end.
