He came in at 218 against Bonin and that was when he was purposely keeping his weight down as he had to get back down to cruiserweight to fight Mormeck. He's been walking around at 215 - 220 for years. I've no idea where you get this stuff from.
Sultan is awful - Haye would box his ears off! So what, Haye has a less than McCallesque chin - but he would be able to telegraph Ibragimov from a mile away. He is arrogant, and he may be exposed, but would certainly be a damn sight better than the dross we are being served up at present. His chin may actually improve with the move up (ala Miguel Cotto) - the only heavy that can actually punch fast and accurate is Wlad. None of the others are fast enough to give Haye any difficulty. I would gladly bet you a £10k that Haye would school Sultan plus an avatar bet for a year.
He could but wont. Haye is made for Klitschko more than the other way round, Hayes low left will be inviting for Wlads big right. 3 rounds max! People keep saying how Wlad is chinny, but what about Haye? He was dropped bad by a blown up super middleweight in Lolenga Mock, badly by Carl Thompson and even by Mormeck who isnt considered a big puncher.
Haye has a big punch at his own, much smaller weight. Means **** all against a man at least 50+ solid lbs heavier.
I would feel bad taking your money, dude...besides, Haye is so afraid to fight a legit heavy before a Wlad fight, that we will never discover the truth. Just embrace your World Heavyweight Champ as Wlad Klitschko!!:happy
I think it would be a close fight - nothing against Wlad but he is painfully boring. He is a smart operator though, and will be a tough proposition - one which Haye will need to be at his best to beat. He would walk all over the others though - that you surely can see.
If he lands on wlads egg chin yes he can win. That being said Arreola is the man that is going to clean up the division.
His chin looked pretty good today!! Wlad is so good at adapting to different styles with Manny Steward...He will hold onto the title as long as he wants!! Please name a heavyweight that is more versatile than Wlad...I dare you!!
Here is a promo for a possible Haye - Klitschko match up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdYhPZ3z9Js I'm falling for the hype if I'm being honest.
I'll be realistic and reserve judgement until we've seen the latest version of "The Matrix" at Heavyweight.
Haye wouldn't last three rounds against Shannon Briggs!! He will never win enough fights in the Heavyweight division to merit a Klitschko fight!!
