    That's his build.

    He's lanky and has a long neck.

    He'll still KO the meatheads in the HW division...

    Chagaev, Peter and then Wlad? That is much too fast...He cannot go as fast as that, I don't think. It wouldn't be wise. At this rate, he could be HW Undisputed Champ by this time next year and even Haye banks on 2 years at the earliest...:think

    Im sorry but a big enough puncher :huh Like the one the one Haye posses would pretty much level up the fact Haye has a poor chin.

    When you step in with a huge puncher the quality of your chin hardly matters.

    Yeah, he doesn't really have a HW build but he could of built his neck too? Holy when he moved up built his neck and upper body.

    He wont KO them all, guys like Chagaev have granite chins and are used to big shots, his power will look average.

    Don't know why he's giving It 3 years, It could take long with all the politics. Lennox took till he was 33/34 to unify them all.

    Hope he doesn't have too many yes men around him.

    He wants to be out of boxing by the time he's 30, he said. So...2 and a half years. I guess he recons the division is weak and with so many unifications lately, he won't have to beat that many to get a shot at the best. If he beats one of the unified Champs, he only has to beat another one, Wlad, say...and that's it.

    Amir Khan did well to keep his emotions in check, whereas his dad seemed to be extremely upset when the referee called it off.

    It certainly does. Look at what Ezra Sellers career amounted too? And he was a VERY talented cruiser. The same can almost be said for Kelvin Davis.Anyone here remember Micheal Bennett from the 2000 Olympics? He was the US champion and a Silver medalist the previous year. He was a dynamite puncher. But his chin by far had to be the worst in the hisotry of boxing. All the power he was able to wield didnt make a blind bit of diffrence and his professional career was over in 3 years. Obviously those are extreme examples and Hayes chin isnt that bad. BUT to be shook by a career super middle, KO`ed (although via exhaustion by Thompson) and dropped with LEAD RIGHT hands by Mormeck is bad news. These are all technical flaws that Haye can fix defensively.

    At heavy he wont have a chance to fix them if his busy eating punches.

    How did Holyfield do it though? I know there's always been rumours about him juicing, don't know how true that is....

    If Haye is going to take 9 months to be ready for the HW division, then he may be thinking about bulking areas such as his neck without becoming too heavy and losing his advantages.

    I know Haye is 6ft3 and 200+ pounds, but I watched his fight and about an hour later I watched Peter - Maskaev, the size difference seemed vast, they seemed huge in comparison to Haye......partly because of their huge heads and stomachs admittedly. There's no way Haye needs to try and be anything like that though!

    I don't get people who complain about stoppages like that. What do they want, deaths in the ring?

    If the ref had let the fight continue then Haye could have seriously hurt Enzo and Enzo wouldn't have been the same again. All it would take is a couple of unanswered rights to the temple and a bad fall and Enzo would have been ****ed.

    Yeah but Enzo never had smoke blown up his ass nor a massive gravy train to derail and nor a hype train going at full pelt infront him. Warren fighters follow similar routes. Hatton Joe Enzo are all the same. Its only a matter of time before Hatton is throughly exposed. So you sit tight now your time will come.

    I ****ing hate that word 'exposed', that and 'shot' are the two most over, and incorrectly, used words on ESB.

    I can see Calzaghe having beaten Lacy, Kessler, Hopkins and Pavlik getting 'exposed' by Dawson in 2009!!!!
