David Haye ko'd by Carl Thompson in 2004 = glass jaw?

Dude, what is the limit. I believe you have not seen that much of Haye. He was at verge to be knocked out COLD against Lolenca Mock, Super Middleweight with not a **** punching power what so ever.
I dont know it might be that Haye was little bit weight Drained in CW, we havent see him at Hw taking a punch:think

 

Any decent Heavyweight with good handspeed has the potential to expose Haye as Haye leaves his guard down and is wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide open for counters. A prime Sanders could have been the ultimate poison for Haye. Good reach, fast hands, great accuracy plus he's a southpaw.

Doesn't mean Haye can't get back up after being floored but his will is going to be tested many times. All this makes perfect sense as he is saying he doesn't want to play with fire and just wants a few big money fights and then wants to retire as soon as possible.

 

Yes, but he's never been hit by the likes of bangers like Klits, Golota, etc..

 

I don't by this theory at all. Certainly you have to land a good punch, but if a guy has good punch resistance, he won't go down. It is a comibination of decent punch and shaky chin that results in KTFO

Here is in equation form:

Good Punch + Weak Chin = KTFO

The theory that you seem to be advancing, the "that punch woulda KOd anybody" theory is utterly unprovable. And there are many guys who likely could take the punches that had Haye hit the deck. That's why his chin will be glass at HW. He knows it too - which is why he's being SO careful about who he fights.

 

A prime Sanders would have probably have had an easy night KTFO'ing Haye.

 

Great post :good

Someone with common sense :deal

 

This wasn't a case of getting KO'd, Haye ran out of gas hitting this guy. Give credit to Thompson rather than shitting on Haye.

 

for me it was glass stamina

 

True. That said, when was the last time either Klitschko faced someone with Haye's power? Of all his wins, only 1 went to a decision- a fight he chose to take the distance to prove that he had the stamina for 12 rounds. Even as a cruiser, Haye hits much harder then any of Wlad's or Vitali's recent opponents:good.

 

There is a reason for the 't' though isn't there. He wasn't ko'd, he wasn't down and counted out is the point. He was stopped by Thompson, he wasn't knocked out.

 

How do you know that, because he stopped Bonin and Barrett?

 

It was more of a slip and you know it, then monte hit him on the floor! after that Haye Knocked him the **** out straight away. Your just Biased.:silly

 

You're kidding right? We have no idea how hard Haye hits because he barely fought at HW so far. He might well be the hardest puncher at HW, but we simple haven't seen enough yet to make a decision IMO.

Also, Haye uses incredible amounts of momentum to gain leverage as he loads up from way back for his big shots, something that he can do against small guys at CW who can't reach him. Any heavyweight with decent reach and handspeed will land 5 punches right on his chin while Haye is caught off balance with his awkward footwork.

 

No, I am not 'kidding you'. What always seems to suprise me is that no-one actually seems to recognise the names on Haye's CV:good. As for 'small guys', Haye is a simila size to most other cruisers he fought:good.

 

No he's not, Haye was considerd tall at CW.
