    I'm not sold yet on the guy who lost to Carl Thompson. I'm skeptical he will even beat Enzo. I'm picking him to win though many are over looking him.

    If he gets into a ring with Vlad he will get knocked out cold.

    Haye was critisising Wlads fight with Sultan saying that he was to scared to throw a jab and if that is all he has to worry about he will be heavyweight king in under 12months:lol:

    I personally used to like David Haye but recently i think his confidence is turning into sheer arrogance, plus Wlad would behead Haye whenever he lands.

    Yes, a punch landed by Vlad would be very scary!!!!!!! Haye will go night, night.

    Of course USS can beat Haye. David is a murderous puncher but his skills are above average/good surely not great. Skillwise Cunningham is better.
    As of yet Haye's achievements are not great. He beat old Mormeck, but so did Bell. I like Haye but I realize he's very beatable.

    Haye is supposed to be "The Great Black Hope"? What the **** kind of stupidity is that? First off, he's not American. Secondly, I'll type what I always have since this topic started surfacing after the dawn of the "era of Eastern European domination" :roll: in the HW division: most black Americans don't care enough about boxing anymore to invest themselves in a "black hope."
     
  8. What you mean by IF? :tong Enzos going to destroy this guy!

    Unless he 'does a Cotto', he will never be the number one. However given his natural gifts, speed and power, he has a chance to beat anyone. But he will always be very vulnerable.

    Any fighter under FW will get hyped and promoted to the max, just because Enzo has filled bigger venues than Haye, it hardly makes him a better fighter. Are you honestly trying to say Enzo beating up the likes of Bobby Gunn means more than any of Haye's achievements purely because more people saw it?
    As for the better trainer, that may be true, but it's not the trainer that has to do the fighting. Enzo may have had the best training available in the world, but lets be honest, he has not faced anybody even close to being in David Haye's league. And that includes Lee Swaby.
    Can we see the rest of your "list" please?

    he's a talent who can dig.however i doubt his chin will hold up at heavy.i notice he was rubbishing vlad's performance the other day and probably rightly so,but i don't think he'd go past 5 rounds with vlad.

    He will be purely a flash in the pan at heavyweight. He will pull off a good win, then have a terrible outing and all here will be on his back.. I warn you all, he is a heavyweight dressed in cruiserweight clothes with a middleweight chin... Nice puncher but shame about the beard.
