    Slick doesn't do Haye justice. I'd call him gifted.

    Haye's straight right >>>> Pascal's straight right.

    Straighter, quicker, more powerful.

    Hayes skills are all a bit above Pascal's.

    People dont know what slick means. They think malignaggi is slick ,little bit of speed an flash didnt help him getting his jaw broke an hanging off .. Walcott was slick, mayweather, whitaker was slick. slick is ring craft an smarts

    If you consider backing away only to throw one or two counters/hayemakers slick then good luck to you.

    He's an athletic fighter with some slickness.

    Slick upper body movement no doubt, but his footwork is below par at times.

    He's slick but he dosen't box. he stays on the outside,throws 3 punches a round and skips around the guy.

    Malignaggi is slick pal. So he got hit a few times,it is boxing. 90% of the time he is slick.

    Outlanded Valuev 1.5 to 1.

    Though compubox isn't that reliable... but Valuev generally landed with some grazing jab when he landed and Haye would land with powerpunches or something to the body
