    One of the hardest three/five, I would say. Probably not the hardest, but you never know.

    He's just now entering the big stage, to prove his mettle.

    Why in the hell would anyone ask such a dumb ass question like that. The man has only fought Monte Barrett in the Heavyweight division. How would anyone know if he is the hardest puncher. But some on here have him an all time great. So far he is a great cruiser weight and a loud mouth. I do give credit for jumping past other more deserving fighter for a title shot. But a loud , bragging , rude and disrepectful attitude. Does not make for the hardest puncher or a great fighter.

    We'll find out soon enough, right now Haye is unproven at HW.

    He may have more raw power but Wlad translates his power via superior technique to his opponents...this is like saying Mugabi had more power than McClellan but McClellan just tranlated his better due to superior technique...

    Probably not but that is not significant. The only thing that matters is that he has enough power to Knock out Wlad and he does not need to be the biggest puncher at HW to do so.

    After shot Ken Norton was ko'd by Gerry Cooney,one extremely astute boxing "journalist" asked him who hit harder,Foreman or Cooney.Norton deftly replied,"I don't know.I forgot to bring my gauge".This applies to this thread.Nobody really can answer this question at this point because Haye has hardly any experience at heavyweight.There is just not enough information to make a real judgement.

    Exactly. Haye is so ridiculously over-hyped it's not funny. I can't wait until the hype bubble is burst when Wlad starches this overrated china chin bs artist June 20th.:yep
