Do you ever notice it's "Haye WOULD do this..." "Haye SHOULD KO this guy..." it's all theory

    The guy was a great CW. One of the best. However, his HW resume is not that impressive when the opponents are examined.
    A lot of his fans (and Haye himself) talk about what he could/would do. He's an ATG in theory, not in practice.

    Let's see how he does against an Ortiz, Parker, Wilder, Joshua etc (if he ever gets in the ring with a live opponent).

    Yep his actions of late don't suggest a guy confident in his abilities at HW

    We are 7 years removed from the Wlad fight debacle and the Brits still act like Haye will KO everyone. It is hilariously pitiful. Haye hasn't won a meanigful fight in 8 years.

    ROFL haye has no stamina, has never really outboxed his opponents and has power.

    his toughness is extremely questionable at hw. he know he couldnt survive over 200lbs for too long, hence his retirements.

    Haye is a theoretical ATG. All in theory and hypothetically. In reality he feasts on guys like DeMori, Charr and some skinny Swiss guy I've never heard of before.

    I don't think much or Haye right now, he's been too inactive. Haye should go knock Wilder out, easy fight for him..............

    His comeback has been disappointing and agreed his fights at Heavyweight have been fairly un-testing except for Wlad which he obviously lost.

    The Ruiz fight is probably the only one you can look at as a good fight for him at HW.

    But Haye has got plenty of ability and class, he is still yet to be proven at HW all these years on but those that have watched him come through the CW ranks knows the power that he has, that doesn't disappear and would drop most HW's

    Maybe HW boxers don't want to fight David Haye as he is a dangerous opponent and self-promotes meaning there is not much money in the fight

    I'm a Joshua fan but give Haye a chance in their showdown next year

    Haye's record should be 100-0 (99 KO) without him fighting anyone

    Not all of us !
    And many of the Haye-maniacs are from outside the UK too.

    Haye clearly does not believe in himself at HW.

    You do not pay low level nobodies like De Mori and Gjergjaj to take dives in your first two fights back after 4 years out of the ring, if you believe in yourself.

    You know Haye is pretty transparent at this point.

    He is ONLY coming back because his getting divorced and he lost money, and needs income.
