    He admits that himself though. Still tough enough to drop his hands in front of Wlad though, who just hit fresh air. In my opinion top 3 head movement of any heavyweight, with young Tyson and Frazier

    Did Haye sound like he wanted a rematch in the post fight press conference? Wladimir beat a prime David Haye, stop crying and deal with it.

    haye doesnt like it so much he will retire for years on end. pump himself with roids then come back to fight bums, then lose to a top fighter who can hit him back then retire again. but hes almost 40 now soon its his last chance.

    Fair points, I agree that I went on a bit of a hyperbole to prove a point. I think the fighter was much closer than Haye "blowing away Chisora", but not even. Chisora had his moments but he was a level below Haye after all.

    Haye has power no doubt. Very talented albeit delusional in some respects. He is following the path of least resistence in order to make money. Simple. He claims fans wanted to see him spark Harrison etc but they just want to see him in a competitive fight he may not win. Bellew isn't the man to test him either.

    Crazy power. Ridiculous power.

    That's what made him such a threat to anyone he fought despite his other limitations.

    Guy had/has freakish power and the speed to deliver it to the target.

    Haye has immense power.

    He's not the KO merchant at HW that he was at CW, but to lay Chisora out takes serious firepower.

    As mentioned, his head movement is elite. Some of the best of our time, IMHO.

    OK, you're one of the ignorant "fans" that haven't a clue what's needed to perform. stubbed and compound fracture are completely different injuries. you don't know the difference ? nor do you recognize how important your feet are for twisting and turning into and over shots .

    You'll learn the basics someday

    First you say "Haye was in trouble" for 5 rounds then say it was even until Haye flattened him in round 5.

    Pretty impressive for a fighter that was "in trouble" for 5 rounds

    Who said he didn't beat Haye ? I just stated the fact a compound fracture of your big toe of your back foot is a very hindering injury.

    And yes Haye would love a rematch BUT Aj will annihilate Wlad setting up Aj vs Haye.

    I'm not even surprised some posters on here trying to play like that injury shouldn't had postponed the fight NO questions.

    Haye just wanted that pay and thought he'd still catch him enough, he didn't until round 12.

    Hayes performance wasn't 1/100th as pathetic as Wlads vs fury. hell, both Wlad AND fury were embarrassingly worse

    Haye is a rare blend of brutal power and blistering speed

    Haye has The speed and mobility of a much lighter weight class, and the power of a full blown heavyweight

    My favorite Haye knock out was when he -tapped- John Ruiz on the snoot and dropped him like a water buffalo

    Haye was not keen at all for a rematch at the post fight press conference I'm afraid. I'm glad you admit Wladimir beat a prime Haye, who then hurt his toe after the fight.

    Vitali was old and fighting with one arm and still beat prime Chisora. Vitali circa 1999-02 vs Chisora would not last long. Also, Chisora was in hideous shape vs Haye.
