with his speed, reflexes and power, Haye should of posed a serious threat for slow as molasses SNV instead he set the record for least number of punches thrown in a HW title fight and got the controversial decision, and ripping off the fans who watched this sorry excuse of a fight Haye's mouth has more balls than Haye himself does
Problem is that Haye haven't fought anybody at the level of most of the guys at the list. If he had beat three of those names, I'd get off his case, but as it is there is just no basis for saying he is better than Povetkin. Povetkin doesn't look great, but he is far more accomplished than Haye with a handful of decent wins to his name, and of course that olympic gold medal.
You have clearly followed boxing for 10 minutes, Haye has a good physique, but in reality is a ******. The guy's mouth writes cheques his testicles can't cash. In other words he is another **** who talks shite and doesn't back it up. You may query why I have this opinion on Haye, the fact is Haye has been going on about his ACTING career for the last couple of years, well before his ****ing **** poor performance against Vlad. This is a dude who doesn't give a **** about boxing and it shows in the ring, If you want to follow and spend money on this dick then good for you. You are however been taken for a ride which when ended you will wonder why you wasted your time on this chav.
How can you guys not see his obvious flaws? Haye has some tools for sure: speed, decent power, lateral movement. But he is sorely lacking in some of the basics: he doesn't put punches together versus opponents who know what they are doing because of his flawed stance. He isn't active offensively, probably due to carrying too much excess muscle and his chin and heart are questionable at best. Haye just isn't as skilled as Dawson either. I could see him beating Adamek, but I could also see him getting out-manouvered. If it took him 9 rounds to stop a shot Ruiz, he certainly won't beat Adamek in 4! That is just deluded.
No. Haye is not the third best at all. Chisora,Tyson Fury and Pulev are better than him. They all fought actual contenders and won. Haye won't get passed Chisora.
A fighter gets knocked down. A champion gets up. Who cares who gets knocked down and who doesn't.. Wladimir has been stopped three times by EXTREMELY questionable opposition and STILL he is the number 1 dominating heavyweight of our generation and quite possibly of any generation. Haye is underrated at the weight. People dislike him because of how he presents himself, not for much more.
Not sure about him being #3 but the guy did talk his way into a 24 million dollar payday. Has that ever been done before? I think the Chisora fight is an interesting one and in my opinion the winner should get a crack at the Klitschko brother they haven't fought yet.
David Haye's mythical ESB record is 93-0 93KO's.His whole career is based on would'a could'a should's but never did. Then there is reality.
Its easy to Champion Haye would do this that and the other to those fighters as though he doesn't actually need to fight any of em, but fights are fought in the ring, not on paper, and anyone who has a chin like Haye is never gonna be guaranteed to win against anyone.
But according to the brits none stand a chance so he does not need to fight them. Boxrec should just adjust his pro record based on who they "think" he can beat.Brits already run that site and overrate anyone who waves the Union jack.
