    I dont even think hed waste his time getting in with them at this point. If he beats Mormeck he can write his own ticket in the heavys.

    Dont get it twisted both men can be a handful when they are ready.And theres no way David could brawl close with them as both men would be too much for him in the clinch.But from the outside he should be able to pick either man off with relative ease and possibly get a late stoppage.

    One thing i will say for skelton is it seems like hes got a really rock solid chin. Does anayone know if he has ever been knocked down or out.

    He likes to hug doesnt he.

    Haye will not wasate any time with the other british heavys though.

    I still like skelton though, although all his fights seem the same in yuour face dirty mauling style.

    i dont think any heavy in the world would enjoy fighting him.

    The main thing that will stay in my mind from this fight was Frank Bruno
    at ringside he must of been thinking if only i was about these days.IMO he would be so far ahead domesticaly(always had trouble spelling that)
    and would be a real player at world level.If this is the best the UK can offer we should forget the heavys and thank god for JC & RH lets hope
    Haye lives up to his potential.

    His been KO`ed in K1 bouts.Le Banner knocked him out and im pretty sure if my memory serves me right the action was standing up and was mostly punches.This being said his chin does seem very sound to me.

    It was a dreadful fight. I am sure I had better fights with my wee brother when we were 7 and 8.
