    Thats the bottom line like, Haye is nobody at Heavyweight right now

    I have no doubt that he could be great and although he has not fought a decent opponent at that weight I do not think it will take him long to mark up some good names and good wins. Although due to his poor chin he could always end up getting KTFO.

    Haye on all fronts technically but this is boxing and Brunos power is a neutraliser. Also Bruno had an uncanny ability with that jab. He'd pump it and it just got in the way of your work. Good fighters overcame it and I'm sure Haye could find ways round it like he finds ways round other jabs i.e. Enzo's.

    I think he will give any heavyweight problems with his movement, speed and explosivness, its just hard to judge with little previous to go on, he gonna need his chin holding up but then again any heavyweight fight can finish with one shot like....

    Yep. Haye has some great qualities and gives us all alot to be excited about but his chin is a great leveller.

    It's too early to assess Haye as a heavyweight force.

    When Bruno lost he lost to the BEST guys out there. Haye is nice but we dont really know what his like at heavy. Bruno WAS a heavy and fought his entire career there. Remember the young Bruno was a wrecking ball with SERIOUS power. Id take Bruno in under 5 rounds.

    I don't know why the stamina thing with Haye remains. He slows but nothing suggests his stamina is now **** or close to what it was when he first started.

    Bruno hurt a prime Tyson who was swarming him from round one.

    He still eventually managed to hold a heavyweight title, be it by hook or crook. If Haye managed to do that people would go bananas.

    A 43 year old Oliver McCall was a Heavy weight title older as recent as last October till he lost it to Gomez.

    Fair enough, he's still out there making a fist of it though.
