    I dunno....we'll just have to see!!! He has the power and the talent...just perhaps needs to wind his chin in a little and up his defense. Definate potential in the current weak division we got now.

    I think he could do very well indeed. I believe he will get beat at least once in the process, but that won't deter him. He seems to have what it takes to be a winner, including big power.

    chin says it all. there are some 30/40 ranked hw's can land a punch harder than mormeck. it's just a matter of time before one connects.

    i think haye is very capable of beating all current belt holders bar wladimir, even right now.

    I agree, his chin will be an easy target for a Heavyweight like Sam Peter or Wlad. He has alot of power and talent, enough to excite fans and make people watch. He may punch like a Heavyweight, but he sure as hell cant take a Heavyweight punch.:yep

    Haye's chin will be a problem. Just imagine how far Wlad would have got, if he'd had a dodgy chin.

    Got to be carefully matched, he is a hard puncher but has that unfortunate curse of a shakey set of chops, and if he can be dropped by 199 pounders and knocked out by an ageing cruiserweight , he may not fare that well against a Povetkin or a Samuel Peter...

    Its not that much a breeze up there.......... Haye will get his braids shaken up if he thinks its an easy day facing 260 plus....

    Best of luck to him though...............

    With the state of the heavyweight division I wouldn't put it past him to become undisputed champion.

    He will struggle when he is asked those chin questions by the very big heavyweights............

    Not only is his chin shaky but he has that ridiculous left hand by the knee style. Pull the ****ing hand up and use a guard and he makes life a lot easier for himself. He also has crap stamina because his idea of training is a jog down to a party.

    That said, he is fast, skillful and hits like a train. He is one of my favourite fighters and I think he can definitely win a title, but Wlad would murder him and he needs to cover up way more to avoid being starched by the likes of Peter etc.

    I think he could possibly win an alphabet belt, depending on who he has to fight to get it, and if his chin will hold up which is a question mark for me right now. I think Vlad would KO him.
