They're all human, whether theyve had 50 fights and not been rocked or not they can still be knocked the **** out as unlikely as it often is. Speed and power is a vicious combination. I've got a feeling Haye is going to send him to the canvas but the ring collapses and its declared a NC. But seriously, I think he's gonna connect with some big shots and we'll see what Valuevs chin is made of then.
yeah **** it. Just watched one of griffs vids and it's led me to believe it's worth a sneaky fiver on a Haye 1st rnd ko win.:good Now that would rock the boxing world:nut
Haye has never fought a top ten heavyweight, but he has been knocked out by a cruiserweight and don't forget Solis stopped him in the amateurs.
He has def got the power but he does get rocked his chin isnt that great. he only got knocked out cuz he tired tried too hard and couldnt get thompson outta there, lack of experience. If any1 can stop Valuev Haye can
Haye was stopped fighting for a minor world title in his 11th fight, not KO'ed. No shame there. Solis was a stellar amateur and Haye nealry had him out of there early in that fight. No shame there.
He could not stop Thompson at Cruiserweight, Nelson, Sellers etc did. He can hit yes, wait to see the effect a Valuev jab has on him though. :blurp
Haye will have good power at heavyweight in my opinion. We saw a glimpse of this with his wins over Barrett and Bonin. Alright, not stellar names by any stretch but he still showed he could take them out. Haye is probably nearing some form of physical maturity (no jokes about his mental side) and he looks very thick set and powerful in training. His power at heavy will be greater than at CW.
Despite all the intangibles, what ifs etc about this fight. One thing really sticks out to me: Someone on here posted a video of Valuev being buzzed by Ruiz (I think), it was really not a fantastic shot from (if i'm correct) Ruiz of all people ... I then look at how Monte Barrett was basically landing overhand rights at will on Valuev - overhand rights being Hayes money shot. So if we combine the fact that Valuev is: 1. fighting a man with a fantastic overhand right, when he's an absolute sucker for being hit with them. 2. the fact he was rocked by a mediocre fighter with an average punch, and he's stepping in with a p4p and flat-out monsterous puncher. 3. David is bigger, faster, punches harder and uses more angles etc than these guys. I am genuinely excited and confident in what will happen when Haye lands an overhand right on that chin..
What David Haye brings to the Heavyweight division is speed, accuracy and power. Most Heavyweights hit hard, but not all of them bring accuracy and speed. Speed is intimidating and speed take's people out. I will be shocked..! shocked..! if David Haye takes out NK with one power shot. Its gonna take a couple...
