    That one physical attribute that never goes away...prodigious punching power.

    Maybe over 50 years when he has decided to fight another fight...

    Lol. I love how all these people claim so many fighters could beat Haye. Haye has only ever lost once and that was in his 10th fight when he was fighting a real veteran and gassed himself out and just got landed on, he has since learn't from that mistake. I think people are really underestimating just what Haye is capable of, there is very few, if ANY boxers out there in HW that can move and hit as fast as he can yet still hit as hard as he does.

    He needs to show me something to get me excited. Tua is basically a one trick poney just like Peter. Either they get a KO or they lose against top notch comp. He'd be horribly out reached by either Klit. Unless he faces a top 10 guy soon, he's no where on the HW radar.

    Haye has good handspeed and power and I do like seeing his fights. He should knock out Ruiz.

    Yeah I am hoping he looks good against Ruiz, this is the test for him, as boring as people think Ruiz is, he isn't easy to knock out. If Haye looks boring and uninteresting in this fight then I will of course invite all the haters back and allow them to continue the hate of Haye without argument lol. I just think people are judging him too soon.

    Tua made it look easy by overwhelming him but Ruiz stopped being aggressive afterwards and resorted to clinching. Haye will fight the Ruiz at the end of his career and I expect nothing less than a late rounds ko or stoppage for Haye.

    After Friday next Wednesday :)blood :yep) Tua needs to land someone big - a Solis, Peter, Povetkin, or Arreola...or even a Witherspoon, Thomspon, Gomez or Walker type. There needs to be progress. No more backward steps.

    When the bodies start piling up, the doubters' ammunition supply will dry out.

    I know, but he should fight moooooooooooooore frequently, a lot more!! The same goes with Toney, Chagaev, Haye,...

    I finds Tua very exciting but age is catching up with him, so he should get the most out of it while he still can!!

    And he needs to fight soon, too. He can't have the long layoff that has been usual for him.

    Yes, he needs to do that against ranked contenders if he wants to climb up to a title fight... fighting tomato cans won 't do..

    And I know he can do it, 'cause he's the Tuaman!!

    I hope so. A motivated and in shape Tua would be a nice boost for the heavyweight division.

    Tua would be damn dangerous for Haye, but the Klits are a differant league. Even though Tua is on the comeback trail, its still all there to prove.
