Haye Turns Down David Tua Fight!

Imagine being McCall knowing no man on earth can knock you out.

pleeeze!

 

I can understand question marks over his chin but what makes you think he has dodgy stamina? The Carl Thompson fight? :roll:

Forgot to ask you earlier but do you have a source/link for this?

 

Rahman's power is way overrated. His whole career is based on one punch....

 

Tua, as shot as he may be, could be too much for the shaky chinned Haye.

 

Ok yea, McCall is indeed a test for a fighter new to the heavyweight division. A sturdy opponent but still just a test, he presents a gatekeeper/stepping stone status. If Haye beats him I don't know how much that would say about his viability as a heavyweight.

Haye would land at will against mccall with his speed and could break him down slowly.

Don't underestimate Haye's body punching it's brutal

 

Tua might not be a bad fight for Haye. Tua can KO him with pretty much any punch in his arsenal if he can land frequently enough... on the other hand, Haye can box circles round the slow, unmotivated and seriously declined Tua.

Tua is the punchers puncher, but fighters with shakey chins who have power and skill in abundance often get overlooked and people insisting they will get KO'd. Is Haye's chin really that bad? I'm not 100% convinced, he didn't seem all that hurt in the Mormeck fight, came back well and showed very good recovery powers. The extra weight should certainly help him, look at Cotto, was considered as having a questionable beard, but the heart and will of a champion... he moves 7lbs north and is seeminly able to just walk through shots now.

I'm not saying the same will apply to Haye, but I think this is one of the reasons he's so exciting, no one really knows how good he's going to be, but he's certainly got some serious potential. Hell, if Wlad can do what he has with a shakey beard, good recovery powers, boxing skills, power and almost identical reach, what's to stop Haye? They fight nothing like, but they are similar in quite a few ways.

 

Hmmm, I wonder why?????

 

tua and greenberg should be fighting not sharing a bill

 

Do you base your fight predictions on anything other than chins?

 

:good

As the article says, I hope Tua fights someone who we've heard of. Someone who has boxed before.

 

Hey, if it shatters like glass, maybe it IS glass, don't ya think??:yep

I just call 'em as I see 'em. Who called Fraudley WAY before he was annihilated, remember?:hey
