Haye doesn't have the greatest whiskers, but Rahman has the worst chin among rated fighters in recent years, and Haye should be able to shatter that glass in fairly short order Haye KO 4
Is this set? Wow, I hope David Haye wins, he could add some excitement to the Heavyweight division. Even if all paths lead to Klitschko who would kill him. And anyone else for that matter, currently.
Rahman might me too tough of an opponent for Haye's move to heavyweight. If Haye beats him though, he definately belongs with the heavyweigths.
lennox turned rahman from a good fighter into an average one. then maskaev turned rahman from an average fighter into a shot one. this is very shrewd matchmaking by haye's team. rahman is a name who beat britain's greatest hw but is washed up. i can't rank rahman in the top 20 anymore. haye should win i would love to see haye fight povetkin, the 2 elite prospects, if he is successful against rahman. the winner will have the honor of getting their skull caved in by WALDO
yep he has definatly picked the easiest route right through his carrer. he has had a whole 19 fights , is the unified world champ, went abroad to do it,has beaten top 10 unbeaten opponents on the way up to get a title shot and his opponents must average 30-2 records . haye is a good puncher with a suspect chin , but he has proved himself in the ring that he is not all hype.
Dont forget that Long was drafted in as a last minute replacement for Frank Botha. I am not sure who else they could have got in on such a short notice.
But thats the point, surely they can do better than Frans Botha? I mean the guy is utterly washed up, and he wasn't much good to begin with. Solis is experienced and capable of mixing it with top 20-30 guys, no problem. If he wants to bide his time and fight a few journeyman to get himself sharp, thats cool. But fighting washed up ex champs and freakshow journeymen not even in the top 100 will do him no good at all.
if rahman will come out and trying to rip hayes head of then i think he will have chance but if he will try to outbox haye he will get ktfo!
No version of Hasim Rahman would EVER beat David Haye, I expect The Rock to get utterly ass-raped inside 5 rounds. I made a post about a year ago saying Haye would muder W. Klitschko right now, I still stand by that prophecy. Haye has everything Corrie Sanders had and so, so, so much more.
