    You have a terrible habit of processing basic information and then responding with utter dribble that has literally nothing to do with what you're responding to. I'd keep an eye on that if i were you.

    I respect boxers from the champions to the journeymen. For you to have a negative opinion for a boxer who achieved what Haye did I'm surprised you've got the gall to be honest. Then again this is the Internet and it's easy for people like you to judge people who have actually put themselves out there.

    By the way your last sentence sounded like a threat so I can't help but ask what exactly will happen if I don't change my ways?

    Exactly.

    Haye has a fast right hand. That hardly makes someone "easily the fastest heavyweight since 1960s Ali". His combos were not very fast or fluid, his balance was off and sometimes he'd spazz out and throw repeated rabbit punches as a combo.

    For single shots, look at Holmes's jab, or the right hand that Tyson dropped Holmes with. Corrie Sanders had a very fast straight left too.

    For combination punching, there are countless fighters that rank above Haye in speed (and effectiveness). Has Haye ever thrown something like the left hook/right-hand combo that Lennox Lewis threw in the beginning of the 2nd round? That was very fast. Lewis also could throw quick combos, sometimes he'd do the famous Tyson combo where he threw a right hook to the body and then a right uppercut to the head. Against Mercer he did this more than once, and then also added a left hook and straight right after that. Tommy Morrison did this too. Michael Dokes, Evander Holyfield, Wladimir Klitschko (particularly in the early 2000s), Tony Tubbs, and of course Tyson, were all faster combination punchers than Haye.

    I was thinking "Maybe he is?" until someone mentioned Tyson and I remembered he existed. Tyson would absolutely flatline David Haye in speed, power and overall boxing ability, and I'd consider myself a fan of Haye.
