    More importantly, skill is more important than how good you look with your shirt off. If you wanna look pretty, be a bodybuilder.

    Dont dismiss haye as a pretty boy, he has proven to be the best at cruiser and beaten some dangerous punchers. He isnt scared of fighting thats for sure.

    I cannot see haye not picking up a version of the title tbh. The only heavyweight i would worry about is Wlad, and that is only due to natural advantages combined with a table spoon of talent, might get the better of haye.

    Haye is definately quick enough and for damn sure hits hard enough to take Wlad Klitschko out.

    i agree that Haye can win a title, but don't underestimate the highly skilled Chagaev..

    Honestly, I'm not sure Haye matches up that well with Sultan.

    "Only because of his size"

    :DWhat about the behemoths Valuev and Orlov? They are even bigger than Wlad.According to your logic they must be even bigger obstacle.

    As for Chagaev I for my part would bet my money on a quick ko victory for the chubby lad from Uzbekistan if he ever fought Haye.

    Haye has been a good cruiserweight, but he wasn't great at all so I hate to see all this undue praise for the guy at heavyweight.

    He might be the real thing and then again....maybe not. He should atleast be fun to watch.

    Chagaev isn't bad at all and I don't think he's some sort of fat ass.

    He looks to be a bigger boned person than Haye.

    If they were to fight, right now, I'd go with Chagaev. He's proven.

    If you were to put Chagaev in with Haye's competition I'm certain he would have done just as good and probably better than Haye did.

    Chagaev is a thick man. While he could lose 10 pounds, most heavies could too.

    I like Haye a lot, but the hype around him is unreal. Haye's chin is untested at heavy in the amatuers and the pro s. He has gassed before, been rocked and down by cursiers, before and got cut early vs Enzo.

    Can we not damn well wait till haye gets tagged by a proper and proven heavyweight before we all say hes the best thing since slice bread?

    Seriously he jumped all over macca,and yet still got cut from at most a few shots he got off,say he gets in with one of the HW and he cat take them out with a big shot,then what?,then we will see if he aint a huge hypejob(i dont think he is by the way,just no where near as good as he himself thinks he will be at HW)

    Exactly, a 16-17 inch neck doesn't make for a stout chin.

    No actually I think that some of those fat guys are pretty technically sound and that makes them hard to beat. I can see some of these fat guys (aka Sasha) kicking Haye's ass.

    Didn't some study say that stronger neck muscles actually help fighters take punches better?

    And I still think Ruslan is the #2 HW in the world...although he's not exactly making me look good with his "barely get by" HW wins.
