    I agree with this quote, now, after I took out your usual *wlad glass jaw* nonsense.

    :good

    I think Haye probably felt Valuev's power early, and that's why he was hesitant to engage any more than he did.

    Convinced me that the Klits will bash him from pillar to post. He should fight Tua, Areola, Gomez or Adamek and then he can "start" talkin

    I'd favour Haye against anyone on the division.

    With two obvious exceptions.

    Lets put it like this, he convinced me he'd beat:
    -Chris Arreola
    -Kevin Johnson
    -Dmitrenko
    -and possibly Povetkin


    so yes he convinced me he's a serious HW contender

    :yep pretty much, I'd say the odds would be dead even against a guy like Eddie Chambers or Povetkin though. But he's without question one of THE guys in this division

    Not quite, but I am glad he got rid of Valuev.

    Underwhelming performance in my opinion, with all the **** that Haye talked and Valuev's horrible performances in the past I expected a little more than a couple of punches a round and making silly faces.

    I'd like to see Haye fight someone like Povetkin or Chagaev before he fights one of the Klitschkos.

    I am fully convinced that he will be very boring at heavyweight. People hit hard at HW, Haye will run to protect his chin and potshot one or two combinations per round.

    No, I expected more from him. Beating this limited fighter that already lost to Ruiz and ****ing Holyfield is nothing to brag about.

    so after brutally stopping two HW's and having one lackluster performance against the caveman is an indicator haye is gonna be a boring fighter?? elaborate if you can without being an immature tool.

    the fight was dull i agree, but it did show haye is more than just an explosive banger. he showed he can box when he has too. again, not the best performance but it was affective.

    Not really, I thought he'd look more impressive. I'll wait to see if it turns out he really did break his hand though, if he did then fair enough.
