    If you take Haye at his word his fighting philosophy is to land with the "Hayemaker" and then it's game over. To my knowledge he has only gone 12 rounds once - against Abdoul.

    What I'm interested to see is how much more powerful Haye is at HW.

    Obviously he hits hard now, but what % increase in power will the extra weight give him?

    A lot.

    I believe Danny Williams when he said he is the hardest hitter he has ever came across, BAR NONE.

    From what I have seen in each of his last 13 fights also, his power will be unmatched.

    Not enough to stop Wlad or any other top 10. Did you see Thompson and Fragomeni walk through his punches. If that was as a hydrated cruiser (200 +) at heavy it won't translate to much more. Remember power is mass x acceleration. His speed will diminish as a heavy, so the power gain will be minimal.

    Haye's power at HW will be around the Zuri Lawrence range.

    i think he will have excellent power at hw. u can tell he is a great athlete with tremendous natural power. the extra weight should increase it but will slows his hands a bit especially as the fight progresses. I would never count him out of a fight against any hw.

    however, his shortcomings in other areas will end him.

    Has Wlad had a chin transplant recently?

    Not saying he will stop Wlad for sure, but I am 100 per cent sure he has the power to do so.

    Hard enough I am sure; really aside from Wlad, I can't think of anyone with a better right hand.

    No, it is not the same at any weight above 180.

    Wonderful generalisation's. Knocking Enzo out means little, he has no chin or defence, a bit like Haye actually; hence the fact no one predicted the fight lasting more than a few rounds. Off of this you say he can knock a 250lb out, any one in particular or all of them? You then go on to say: At any weight above 180 it's only dependant on height? Nothing to do with overall body structure, Bone structure, density, muscle build, only height.OK...

    His power will be good as a heavy. Even at the weight he is now, he´s carrying much more muscle mass than most of these fat lazy heavies today. But I´d worry about how his chin holds up at that weight. I think Wlad´s jab would make his head spin.

    Who has ktfo or Wlad? Wlad has gotten up from every single knock down he has ever suffered. No one has ever put him down and out. Haye doesn't now, or will ever have the power to put Wlad down for the count.

    If Haye fought as a heavy in the amateurs, why would he go pro as a cruiser? Wouldn't he have made much more money faster if he went straight to heavy?
