The Myth about David Haye’s Chin

That's what I'm saying................

It's hard to picture Haye taking a flush right hand from any top 10 heavy with the exception of Gomez & Chambers, in that order.

 

Haye hits harder.He threw absolutely everthing into every punch against a tough Mormeck.Macranelli i don`t think will have much chance to get his shots going,Haye will bully him and probably Mormeck him.

 

Haye keeps his hands low, and always comes to fight, meaning he can be tagged quite easily. His chin is probably weaker at cruiser, as he has to drain himself to make weight, meaning his legs will be weaker etc - much the same as Cotto was before moving to welter.

The question mark will always be there about his chin, until he takes a sustained beating from someone and still stands tall. He has been KO'd once - the same as Hatton, but Ricky has taken plenty of beatings along the way and only been put down twice.

 

not sure because he's weight drained at cruiser

 

Knocked out cold once, not to defend Audley but against Danny Williams it was a Flash KO.

 

Well said.

 

Against JMM he took some big shots to the chin but it was the temple ones that set his legs to wobble.

He stood upto some hammer blows before gassing out to thompson as well.

I'd put his chin at average and his punching power at above average. That's why he's exciting and why everyones talking about him. Vlad could knock him out but if Haye landed on Vlad he'd be out for a week!

That's what you get and is part of his appeal.

 

I would put his punching power well higher than 'above average'!

19 KO's from 20 wins - many of those VERY early on!

He is good to watch, and is a funny guy, people have warmed to his personality in the same way they did with Hatton, albeit for vastly different reasons.

The heavyweight division needs some spark, both domestically and internationally, Haye might be the man to do it - certainly at domestic level. I think I could put on three stone and be a force at heavyweight in England!

 

it is a bit foolish at this stage, but haye is the sort of guy who has the ultimate punchers chance. i'd expect wlad to take haye out inside 4/5 rounds but if haye gets lucky and lands on wlad flush then wlad will be lucky to see it through. haye has immense power, that's why people are hooked on this guy.

haye's chin is shaky imo. could potentially improve when he moves to HW for good and doesn't have to strip 20lbs of weight before a fight.

 

Got it in one.

 

I voted shaky. It's shaky to average and Haye himself admits as much.

That and his power make him a tremendously exciting fighter.

 

Shakey, but he can get up and knock you the **** out.

His speed at heavyweight will make him harder to hit and give him more time to land his shots, i think he can beat them all and Wlad would be a pickem

 

seriously? i've seen Mock fight many times, and he sure ain't no hard hitter.

 

I saw Haye's fight with Mock too, but that fight was when the CW limit was still 190. Now, i myself am around 190 when i'm in peak condition, and though i've never seen him in real life, i don't think i'm nearly as big as haye, and i don't know HOW THE HELL he even makes 200.
So, because of all that, and because of how strong he looked in his 1 heavyweight fight, i gave him the benefit of the doubt and voted 'average'.
