    Okay, most of the boxers in HW dont or cannot (due to their size and shape) have the ability to be very agile so is Haye one of the best 'movers' in the division? I know he has taken some punches from opponents but compared to other HWs he does look good, particularly in the John Ruiz fight when he was slipping most of the punches Ruiz threw......

    Hayes footwork is weak..... along with his defense and that is what will get him KO'd

    Haye has terrible footwork. he often seems very off balanced when he is attempting to counter. What Haye can do is fire quick hard shots down the pipe when his feet as set. You can see him set the big punch up when he positions his right foot outside his shoulders.

    He's smaller in most cases so he can run, that doesn't mean the best mover to set **** up, I think that goes to Vitali who is excellent for a big man at stepping to the side and countering, one of the best HW's ever in that dept. I think Wlad has quick feet for his size too, he can back up in a hurry to avoid damage. If you mean movement as in dancing around, then maybe yes, if you mean movement that's effective to throw counters, then hell no he doesn't.

    he is so off balance when he moves and seems out of position but Valuev wasnt fast enough to capitalize
