David Haye: The Next Lennox Lewis or Michael Grant?

The next lewis

 

The next Michael Grant Probably, his chin will be exposed against a good punching top 10 guy IMO. His power will help win him alot of fights on the come up, but his first title shot will probably end up being his last, a guy with good power and a decent chin will put to sleep.

 

grant

he can KO bums at heavyweight..but even someone like Sam Peter would KHTFO

 

That would be becuase peter has not koed any world class fighters and is slow with poor boxing skills, not forgetting the fact he got decked by mcline in his last fight.

 

not the next lewis. i don't think he'll dominate the division but i reckon he will have some success and at least hold one of the belts for a while.

 

And he still won.

Haye was put down in his last fight - and still won.

The problem is Haye was put down by the CW - not a HW. If a HW put him down - he might not get up.

 

He's possibly got what it takes to go all the way.

His choice of trainer will matter hugely though.

He'll never be another Lewis though, heavyweights that big, clever, skilled, fearless and sane come along maybe once every thirty years.

 

He is Cruiserweight Champion so he has achived something so he's better than Grant but if a 40 year old senior citizen can stop him, his china chin and the lack of stamina and defence won't take him far at HW. If he is matched carefully, maybe he can win a belt, but that's it.

 

Im not too sure how far he will go, but i do know we are in for some very entertaining fights involving him in the future

 

he shall rule the heavyweight division.

 

He's more likely a Michael Grant cuz not alot can be like Lennox who's a special heavyweight that comes along once every 20 years. I don't see what the big deal is about Haye,especially as a heavyweight.

At least, Grant scored big wins so haye would be lucky to be Grant as far as im concerened.

 

edit

 

He could prove himself at the heavyweight division by beating someone like Ray Austin. If he could beat Austin, id be half sold.

 

Exactly. He'd knock out glass-jawed jokes like Fraudley or Rahman - who have even worse chins than he does - but as soon as he fights a decent top level contender, it's good-NIGHT. :nod
