I agree. Haye is a great addition to the HW division and I see no negatives about him. I also can't imagine him doing something like what Wlad did in the Ibragimov fight that was bordering on ripping off fans that paid a lot of money to watch a big fight.
Haye is starting to become ignorant, someone who was Knocked out by Carl Thompson would get his head knocked off against a big 250lb heavyweight puncher, someone wake him up he is dreaming:-(
Someone who got stopped by Carl Thompson would never be Cruiserweight champion either. Oh, wait a second....
He clearly feels like he's invincible, but that is normal after you win a pretty big fight like this, every human being would feel that.
You know when I see him fight I see nothing outstanding. Solis might be fat as hell but I still think it would be a close fight. There is no way imo that he beats the huge Klitschko. I do think he is capable of beating Chagaev and Ibragimov though.
Haye got knocked out because he gassed himself. He was suffering from the 'one more and he will go' syndrome - and it cost him the fight, against Carl Thompson - Billy Graham's fighters always have a punchers chance. Wlad has lost fights that he should have won, and gets criticised (rightly so), but to say Haye will never make a top heavy - all I can say is that if Ibragimov, Briggs, Ruiz and McCline made top heavies, then Haye will walk it. Whether or not he cleans up, at least the division will have a face, as opposed to these shysters from siberia.
I remember how there were (and still are) chin questions about ANOTHER top heavyweight who people claimed couldn't be the #1 HW because of a "shaky chin". Funny how THAT worked out.
Well spoken,cooke! I quite agree with you.Haye is a truly welcome addition to the stagnant heavy weight division. As for Haye's chances against the big boys' top guns I somehow doubt that he will be a match for fighters like Wlad or Povetkin.However,I guess that he always has a punchers' chance.
Im not sure that Klitschko is a disgrace but you cant blame Haye. He is eyeing up one of the Heavyweight division's cyclical downturns with delight. I dont blame him, he has a good 3-4 years of talent, market attraction and a substandard division.
