    No you dont need to walk through haye, he is dangerous. You just need to make sure you hit haye regularly and his stamina problems will take care off themselves.

    And what if he counters you with an explosive Hayemaker? Someone goes to sleep then, and it won't be Haye :yep

    No he wouldn't, back in the 70s you had to fight more than once every two years to be considered a contender.

    Perhaps people should remember the kinds of guys who actually got to achieve top 5-ish rankings in the 1970's before pretending the all-stars of the entire decade fought each other every year.

    The decade gets overrated partly because enough time's gone by for people to forget the fluff and only remember the biggest and/or best fights. The late 70's wasn't close to a great era by any stretch.

    I'm sure Haye would have been somewhere in the mix.

    But this thread is about him dominating the era.

    No not an ATG sorry. You need more than 2 title fights and not dodge your 2 biggest threats. Former HW champ of the World?? When did this happen?

    You are so proud to be a David Haye fan that he made you hide under an alias.

    If Foreman knocks out Fraizer in 2 rounds then Daivd doesn't stand a chance.

    He doesn't have a one punch KO at all at HW. He dropped Chisora after whacking him 6 times, He lands a hard punch then goes wild trying to finish the job. He's not some monstrous puncher that lays people out.

    Didn't most people think that Chisora had an iron jaw before that fight? David Haye is the first (and only) man to KO Chisora, which is something that neither Vitali nor Fury could do.

    Haye might not "lay people out" 24/7, but he is a monstrous puncher that could put you to sleep at any time during the fight.
