Why exactly do people say Haye's chin's so bad?!?

    Hes been stopped ONCE, that was due to a stamina problem. Yes hes been knocked down a few times but always got up to win. Hes hardly got a Herbie Hide chin which is what many compare him to! :nut

    When someone like Vitali Klitschko or Riddick Bowe lands a punch on you I would imagine it has a more damaging effect than say your normal cruiserweight or someone like Lolenga Mock at a few stone lighter.
    For Haye to win he cannot get hit too much.

    It's not only the big right hands he has to worry about. I reckon Wlad could drop him with a jab. He's got to get at Wlad quick, else he loses.

    Because people misread or misinterpret what they've seen/ have heard about in his fights.

    Yeah, he aint Tua or Tyson but he's not glass-jawed as some would have you believe.

    As said before it's his temples that cause him troubles, his only loss came from gassing out in a VERY hard fight he took on VERY early in his career, and when he was put down in various fights he got up to win by KO.

    I guess people are even more jealous of the Ukrainians because Wlad gets much more **** regarding his chin and he's been hit by true heavyweights.

    It's not as bad as people make out but it's not brilliant either.

    I agree, but hope Haye gets to him first.

    :yep

    Yeah, and it's what makes his fights entertaining. He can be hit and hurt but also has the power to seperate you from your senses. :deal

    Exactly. The issue is that this guy had trouble taking punches at a lighter weight, from LIGHTER fighters. His chin may have been adequate at cruiserweight, but if you have a shaky chin in that division, it's almost certainly gonna be glass when you're getting hit by the big boys.
