him turning into the next herbie hide can very well happen, but for the sake of heavyweight boxing i hope not. the guy has everything to be a star, and he even has the looks to bring the sluts to the sports the way a young oscar did.
Difference is, Herbie Hide hasn't done **** Haye has beaten some genuine competition, its a natural progression now
Haye is a different class to Hide. Bigger man all round and doesn't have to fight like a maniac like Hide did. He is big enough to stand his ground and jab with these guys. Also, heavyweights were better back in Hide's day. Bowe etc.
Haye is chinny......... Haye also packs power......... He will always be labelled for going down in the past, thats life.... It doesnt mean he cant cut it........very very few fighters to go thru there careers without hitting the deck.......
