    David Haye will unify the division,
    Name 1 heavyweight, That has speed like haye,
    Name 1 heavyweight, That has more power than haye?
    You can't, There is none, And haye has a combination of both, which makes him more lethal.
    He is the most dangerous fighter in the division.

    No way? With his power he has every chance to get a title. Not saying he will beat the Klitschkos, but if there isnt any special fighter in 2-5 years when the Klitschkos are gone, why not Haye? Hell Rahman, Ruiz, lyakhovich, Valuev were/are champs, every top20 guy can get a title if he is lucky enough theses days.

    i told you you couldnt reply directly - and thats why you're stuck posting female avatars instead of being somebody.

    you cant do it if you tried.

    but dont you think thats what makes him exciting. hes desperate to get in the ring to have a pop at them, thats more than these other fighters who just want the paycheck. Either way i want to see him fight them, it adds a bit of colour to an otherwise dull heavyweight division. Just look at last night, and that wasnt even for a real title, we all know chagaev is the WBA champ.

    i agree haye gives life to the heavies - if he can backup his words with action. he has character and he does put his balls on the line.

    Badintentions,

    The problem is people being dismissive of David Haye and not giving him any credit whatsoever for what he has achieved.

    David Haye maybe the underdog against both Klits but people act like he's a bum and he certainly is not.

    Me, i won't be suprised if he gets beaten by both or licks both.

    then why did you post so defensively and dismissively if you're willing to see things clearly?


    emote posts will only cheapen you're opinion at any time.

    Wtf is with this too small bollox? The guy is 6'3, i wouldn't exactly call that small just because the Klitschko's have a few inches on him.

    He's plenty big enough to cause them problems and twice as quick, if he boxes like he can he can make Vitali look stupid. Trouble is he wants to entertain so at some point it will be a slug fest and thats when he could lose it.

    It's not a height thing, it's his frame. He has quite a small frame, narrow shoulders etc.

    Haye is faster than Vitali, but there is NO way he is twice a s quick as Wlad, I'd give Haye the edge though. Maybe........

    Virtually every heavyweight is a knockout waiting to happen.

    I wouldn't be surpised if moving to Heavyweight doesn't make his punch resistance better. It is rather common in fighters who have to cut weight in order to make a weight class... that they become weaker, and more susceptible to being knocked down. Cotto for example, was much unsteady at 140 than he is at 147. Haye already has said that he has always been a natural heavyweight who had to cut down to cruiserweight.

    This doesn't mean that he can't be knocked out... or won't be. This is the heavyweight division and ANYONE can be knocked out at any time. Even if Haye gets knocked out, it certainly doesn't mean that he has a weak chin... it means that the person punching him punches with a lot of power, or a punch he doesn't see, caught with perfect timeing, ect..... Haye is an aggressive fighter and aggressive fighters are always more likely to be caught and hurt than someone who fights in a shell. However, it is also his aggressive style that makes him who he is.

    Basically, what I am saying is there is a lot more to consider when a fighter has been stopped, or dropped, than just labeling them as having a weak chin.

    Nope. Haven’t you been listening Zacman?
    Everyone who gets knocked out is a weak chinned joke. It doesn’t even matter how many punches fighter takes before going down.

    He does not hit like a truck, he landed alot of clean power punches against Barrett which had no immediate affect. This was 8 years after he had been put in the trial horse trash can by Wlad. Vitali hits alot harder, has an iron chin, and has reach and size adantages. The fight is not really difficult to predict.
