    Why would you even compare her to real heavyweights? She's a cruiserweight, but with a heavyweight mouth. She has never even beat one single top heavy,

    How many top heavies are there?

    How many heavyweights "seriously" would you pick to beat Haye other than the Klitschko brothers?

    And name them!

    Question not directed to me but I would pick Chagaev, Povetkin, Adamek and possibly Chambers.

    Haye has not done anything at heavy to prove otherwise. (Barett :lol:, Harrison:lol:, gift decision against SNV:lol:)

    I would put Haye on par with Adamek and Chambers both, in terms of handspeed at HW.

    Haye carries more power than both however.

    For me it was the Barrett fight. I knew he was uncrowned champ after that. :lol:

    Is there a reason why he fought the bums I listed (except for SNV) instead?

    Barrett was strong safety but it was Haye's first REAL fight within the weight class.

    Valuev was champion, albeit one of the worst ever, but it's a world title and Haye would be crazy not to take it. It made him a champion in two weghts and gives him ammunition in future negotiatons.

    Ruiz was a respected contender and an easy title defence.

    Harrison, gross fight but check the bank balance.

    You need to look at the facts here. Haye is fighting Klitschko in only his fifth STRAIGHT fight at the weight. Holyfield fought contenders of varying quality before taking on Buster Douglas. What did you realy expect? Enzo then straight to Klitschko.

    He takes on Wlad in a little over two months and then we'll see if it was worth the wait.

    Haye ran from Valouev, lost the fight, but was given a pure gift. Vlad will take care of Haye. Chambers is faster than Haye, straighter punches. Vlad has very quick punches!!!!!!!

    I don't mind Haye fighting a few bums while keeping busy, but will you ****ing Haye nuthuggers (and Haye himself) shut the **** up and admit that he's fighting bums instead of action challeges like Chambers, Chagaev or Povekin, and doesn't have a real chance against Klitscko.

    This is pathetic. A simple question about handspeed turns into a juvenile Haye bashing fest by Klit fans.
