How good is Haye ?

when i was initially asked about haye at heavyweight i thought....mmm..herbie hide...superb physical specimen, fast, tremendous power but chinny...im now starting to reassess that.....haye should do well against the guys in this division.....he may or may not be chinny, we will have to see how he gets on when one of the big fellas catches his whiskers, but he can carry the weight up to hw without it affectin his speed and he carries his power...he will trouble many of the top guys and at this time, just oozes confidence......i think he will take mormeck out and move up as cruiser champ.....he might be ready for one of the poorer champs within the year......

 

I am going to be a fan then!:good

 

I don't think he'll ever be a prolific champion. A heavyweight contender, probably, but not a champ.

 

Haye sucks, but what can you expect of British fighters. even his blackness couldnt negate the fact that he is a british.

 

ATG when the thread was made and stands as the GOAT today.

 

Racist :twisted:

 

How did he underachieve? Since this thread, he KOed Mormeck to become lineal CW champ, unified by KOing Enzo in 2, won a belt at HW and only lost to the number 1 HW in the world, a guy half a foot taller and 30 pounds heavier than him.

 

And that last fight he only lost because of a horrific injury...if he' d have postponed the fight a bit, so that that lifethreatening injury had a chance to heal up properly with the right medical care and therapy, he would've hayemakered himself into ATG status for sure

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl

Checking chins since 2007.

 

:deal

 

Uh.....Haye is 6'4, and wieghed in light, 225 for that fight, as did Wlad @ 242. Haye should keep fighting and get over this LUDICROUS retirement. He's only really fought 2X/yr or less anyways, so why not get back in the gym, bul up to 240 and come back a boxer/puncher instead of a run first combo puncher.

All in all, even with all the negative talk of him, he's still top 5 in this division and is a natural HW unlike HOOK, Mormeck, Adamek and Tarver.

I'd like to see Haye come back and fight Fury, KO him, take the British belt, defend it a few times vs Sexton, Price and a few other hypejobs, then seek out and obtain the EU Titles. Fight and beat Ustinov, Dimitrenko and then go and **** Potvetkin for an immediate rematch with Wlad for all the goodies.

By that time, Don Vito will be retired, Haye will be 33/34 and Wlad will be 37/38, and Haye could like get that KO win and become Undisputed HWCotW.:deal

 

uh...no he isn't.

 

Lol at haye being 6'4

lawl indeed

 

Your'e right......he's listed at 6'3 and is a ripped 210 vs Wlad.

He really should be fighting closer to 240. :deal He'd still be cut, but doesn't need to be so light....it may actually help him in the punch resistance category and aid him on the inside, while adding to his power.

My point is/was......he is not a smallish HW, and is only light because he cuts weight before a fight which is stupid for a HW unless they are fat like Arreola.:deal
