Haye would get knocked out. He has good physical attributes but if he has a crappy chin as a cruiserweight, how is he going to take punches from a legit heavyweight? Especially a really heavy hitter like Klitschko, who is also very defense oriented these days. I see Haye thumpin' the Timur Ibragimov's but not guys like Klitschko and Peter.
The other side of the coin. Of course I could also be wrong and his chin does hold up. Will just have to wait and see.
Haye is an exciting fighter, and no, his chin will not improve, if anything it will get worse. I see Haye being the next Razor Ruddick, all the skills and power in the world, but rarely listened to anyone in the corner and a shaky chin. Wlad is not a disgrace, but he isnt the savior either, time will tell what becomes of Haye in the next few years.
It is true...even if his chin IS better, will it pass the test of a big HW punch? This is what makes the Haye fights at heavy such must see events. Can Haye cover a chin deficiency with his power?
Haye is right, Klitschko disgraced boxing with his last preformance. It was a HW unification after a long time and all eyes were on the HW division and Klit. fought like a coward. Haye will Knock Wladimir out in 2.
Definately! The drama would be there. The fact he is a good boxer overall is reason enough. I think the fans would enjoy him a lot more than some of the big, plodding guys at heavy right now.
Haye can beat an old Vlad in a year or two. Right now though, Haye would lose to any top 5 heavyweight.
when Wlad knocks his head completely off, I wonder if he is going to talk **** from his head lying on the mat. This guy is going to get ****ed up at heavyweight. ****ED UP>
I don't have faith in most former crusiers. On the other hand, it would be great to see him do well as a heavy.
