    How would you rate Hayes "punching" speed against other fighters in HW?

    not lateral movement

    Believe it or not, Solis has some pretty good handspeed. I didn't believe it when people told me that at first, but when you watch his fight with Vitali (all one round of it), he's very quick with his counters. If he just would've stayed in shape...

    JC Gomez has some pretty fast hands when he let's them fly. Certainly not faster than Haye, but still pretty fast.

    Haye could possibly be the greatest heavyweight of all time.

    Vitai is quick. Vlad is quick, the timing is what's important. Vlad will knock Haye out, watch and see......................

    Coma yes in a coma, Haye's gonna need life support after the brutal knockout he'll get fighting Wlad, if he actually goes through with it I will not believe it until he's inside the ring though...

    I think Haye's handspeed is probably on par with Chambers, Gomez if not a bit slower. The difference is, Haye is punching not to outpoint, but to land KOs. It's a bit like Donaire's, flash and bash.

    Important point. I think his handspeed is about the same as Chambers, but he's obviously a puncher and Chambers obviously is not. But also important is Haye's feet >>>>Chambers' feet. His speed extends beyond his hands to his feet and head.

    Haye looks like a heavyweight should look and retains the speed of a middleweight. He is by far the quickest fighter in the division and the most explosive.

    The Klitschko brother's are fine athletes and technically Wlad is good but I think Haye will smoke his boots because he will close the gap quicker than expected and nail him BIG.

    Vitali is simply ****ing awful. Never has a heavyweight champion achieved so much with so little. Ask this guy to do a 1/2 and he looks confused. All the fan boys who dote on winners make him out to be something he isn't which is hilarious. Haye beats them both.

    I agree. The Harrison fight proved it.
