Is David Haye the most skilled heavy at the division?

I think what your saying on the whole is right , its his speed and footwork and pure athletisism is what makes him look skill full and he is , but i think that because he has such a superior advantage in this department over most of the worlds top HW's it makes him look that much better .

If your asking me is he fundamentally the best boxer in the division id have to say no !!!!!!

 

Chambers has the best skills at HW.

 

no he doesn't, wladimir does. chambers is very overrated

 

simple answer..NO

 

Wladimir Klitschko has the most skills at HW, and it's not even close.

 

**** no

 

we all know he SAYS he has exceptional speed and power. I didn't see it in the Valuev fight or any of the others I've seen come to that. Valuev's 'excellent defence' was putting his gloves in front of his face. That managed to stop Haye from hitting him anywhere......

Wladimir Klitschko has far better skills, and this is far more impressive when you look at the size of the man too.

 

Wlad

 

Actually if you go on pure skillset it's Toney.

 

Haye is actually not very skilled at all. He has speed, power, athleticism and timing; but, his textbook skills are lacking.

People who are fooled into thinking Chambers is skilled clearly have been deprived of seeing a real heavyweight. Chambers has a quick one two. HIs only other skill is bending backward, which is actually a bad habit that will get him KOed by anyone with long reach.

Wlad Klitschko has good skills. He fights on the outside, well, places himself well and uses the jab and grab. It's not flashy, but there's a methodology to it, and it's the style best suited for his size and power.

Evander Holyfield has all the skills in the world, but he's way too old to use them effectively anymore, same goes for James Toney.

Wlad is at his peek now, and concerning skill he is the number 1.

Toney was more skillful in his prime days at a lower weight, but he just hasn´t it anymore.

 

Haye is the most skilled in the division you know why? Because any heavyweights with any athleticism whatsoever are playing football or basketball. Why? Because they can make millions of dollars sitting on the bench and they don't even have to get punched in the face.

Which is why all the talent is in the lighter divisions. Because they're too short/small to play non-getting-punched-in-the-face sports.

 

@Boandlkramer: Chin is no part of being skilled
