Haye admits he can't take a good punch.

Guys like Haye, Wlad, and Harrison all know they have very weak chins, but with a good trainer and improved defensive skills, they can work around it.

 

Finally some word froms Haye that isn't just bluster

 

I think you have the current heavyweight division confused with a good one. You can list the current big punching 240lb heavyweights that arent fat on one hand. Wlad and erm, well there's Wlad isnt there.

As I've said before 240lb men DO NOT punch harder than guys that weigh 200-220... ie guys that could make the cruiser limit. If you think they can please name a few 240lb plus guys that punch harder than sub 220 guys like Tyson, Louis, Foreman, Shavers and Marciano etc. Lewis is in their league.. but a harder puncher? No. Arguably those 6 guys are the top 6 punchers in HW history yet only 1 was above 220 in their prime, 2 of em under 200.

And, be honest, do you really think Haye has never sparred with heavyweights? He knows what they punch like. Yes he might get sparked next fight. On the other hand he might do the sparking.

 

I would love to see Haye spark KFC-man more than anyone else. Athlete vs obesity.

 

After the enzo fight watch his 2 interviews right after one another. One for british tv and the other for shotime. It's all right there, it's like two different ppl.

 

Haye's Glass Jaw is going to get shattered at Heavyweight.

 

i think no boxer is iron chinned, the difference of great boxers among other boxers is they know how to protect their chin.

 

At least he's able to admit his weaknesses, many other fighters are contempt believing there invincible. It allows him to make the necessary adjustments to make sure this weakness isn't exposed.

 

haha, I didn't know that was just a British term. Sparked means to get knocked out or hit hard, I think the Americans like to say 'starched'?.

Check out the Naseem Hamed interview about Barry Mcguigan where he says "If i had been around in his day, or if he had been around in mine, I would have knocked that boy spark out" Spark out, lights gone! good example of the phrase!

 

Vitali wont make it as far as a fight.

Valuev is not a big puncher and never has been.

Sam Peter is fat and would be sub 200lb if he was in shape.

That leaves Wlad.

 

Hmm...rare for a fighter to make such an admission. I'm not sure that it's the smartest thing to do. Why let other fighters know that when you can simply let people speculate? We can always assume a guy has a bad chin when in fact, he may actually have a decent one but now the cat's out of the bag apparently.
