    Ive got to give him all the respect for being so honest. No excuses about anything, he openly says he doesnt have a great chin. The fact that he knows he must fight around that is pretty bold.

    I know Haye has been getting **** talked alot lately by people saying he is going to be sparked at HW, but Haye does not appear to be a dumb fighter, quite the opposite. He may get KOed at the top level, but he is taking the chance and in the end its the fans who get to enjoy watching him fight, and he is an undeniably exciting fighter.

    If you dont know why I pointed out that guys in the 200-220 range punch just as hard if not harder than bigger guys why not read your own posts.

    You are saying he hasnt felt heavyweight power. I am pointing out that the guys of the weight he has been fighting punch as hard as bigger guys.

    No. They do not hit much harder, if at all.

    That is total bull****, like Mormeck, Mock, Thompson hit anywhere near as hard as Vladimir, Vitali, Peter, Rahman, Brewster, Tua, Chagaev, etc, etc, etc. You cannot compare the power. I think Mormeck would be destroyed at HW. If Mormeck had Power like Brewster, or Peter Haye would be in Coma.

    Again. My point is and only is that the fighters that Haye was fighting at Cruiserweight don't compare the power that he is going to face at Heavyweight. I don't care about fighters of the past. I know what Haye fougth and it is an insult to compare those fighters to boxing legends. Mormeck has poor stanima and can only fight 6 rounds of 12 round title fight.

    GTFO of here. God damn I just not figure out who hits harder, Mock, Mormeck, other cruiserweights, or Lamon Brewster, Shannon Briggs, Andrew Golota, Sultan Ibragimov, David Tua, Oleg Maskaev . Almost all the Heavyweights can punch! The difference in power is not even close.

    Do you think Mock was amongst the hardest punchers Haye faced at CW? You seem to be really fixated with him.

    If all the heavyweights are such good punchers why do you lists of punchers include fighter that havnt fought in years, have retired, are so shot that they are jokes and best of... fighters that never had a decent punch anyway?

    You're missing the point entirely.

    We're talking about historys hardest punchers. People like Foreman, Tyson, Shavers, Frazier, Dempsey, Louis and so on. These were all fighting at the same weight modern day cruiserweights do. Superheavyweights do not hit harder than boxers between 200-230lbs.

    Well I already named Vladimir, Vitali, Peter, Rahman, Brewster, Tua, Chagaev in the post directly above. I could name Heavy punchers at Heavyweight all day long. There is a huge difference in power between CW and HW, it is niave to think otherwise.

    So Chef, I was thinking you guys are salivating to get Haye just like Haye was salivating to get Rahman...isn't this latest quote by Haye enough to stop entertaining a match with him...???

    ...what I want to know is, when does WLAD meet his quota for easy KOs...???...let's not waste time with this Haye.

    ...I suggest WLAD release a statement chastising HAYE over his choice of opponent in light of all of his comments, and his accosting WLAD at that event. WLAD should let the world know that it's clear Haye is going to fall miserably short in delivering on his hype.

    Come on CHEF, since Haye does all of his fighting in the press, WLAD should deliver the KO.

    Haye is a smart man. Maybe all that trash talk is reversing.
