What has this ****ing guy ever done in the heavyweight division? This is worse than the Sam Peter nut-huggery. Some of you folks are seriously delusional or just started watching boxing a couple of years ago.
I am suprised how highly some are rating Haye's hand speed. He's quick but Holyfield had quicker hands in his prime at heavyweight.
its not what he has done . its the attributes he has he punches like a mule and is lighting fast . He is by far the most talented heavyweight in the division.
If he could punch like Joe Mesi, he would have send down Barrett with the very first punch landed like Joe Mesi did, to a MUCH BETTER and YOUNGER version of Barrett. So, his punching power is "almost as strong as Joe Mesis, not too far behind, perhaps like 70% of that one". His speed ? I'd rate it as "perhaps on par with a 1997 Juan Carlos Gomez".
Gomez would give Haye a boxing lesson. Hide was faster than Haye in his prime, don't know about now, but Haye has been running from Hide for years now.
