    watching the setanta programme this is david haye - im now getting the feeling haye is not a heavyweight - im not worried for this saturday but he ll get murdered against a fight with vitali or vladimr !! his frame doesnt cut for heavyweight - !! & i think his chin is too weak !!

    I agree too.
    I hope he can do it but there are too many suspect points at the moment in my view.
    It will be excitig to watch either way.

    There's plenty of heavyweights who would probably be smaller than Haye if they actually came in in shape and toned. :rolleyes:

    A heavyweght the size of Haye is what wev'e been wiating for.

    Yep, I think his chin will let him down sooner rather than later at HW. I hope I'm wrong.

    lets hope his chin will hold because he hasnt got to make 200 lbs which has been his excuse up until now.it makes it even more exciting.

    saw him recently state that he plans on going toe to toe (I think it was on Bunce's show)

    If he's naive enough to do that he will likely be stopped.

    He needs to use his boxing skill and keep that left up!

    The only time we'll see David Haye go toe to toe with a heavyweight is if he becomes John Sergeant's dance partner on Strictly Come Dancing.

    Haye shouldnt go toe to toe, he needs to use his movement to his advantage since the top heavyweights of today are lumbering oafs

    Haye doesn't really go toe to toe.

    He's economical with his punches and a good counter puncher. Can't see him going toe to toe when he moves up, think he'll use his superior footwork and speed to avoid and counter punch.

    oh yeah.

    he'll always have those flaws.

    and just cos he ain't shifting the weight no more changes nothing.

    at the same time he'll always have a chance with that punch. :bbb

    he rolls barrett over.

    far too powerful. :thumbsup

    i also hope his chin holds up but its hard to think what will happen if barrett lands a bomb, haye has the offensive strenghts to cause any hw trouble including wlad and vitali but his chin has question marks

    Wasn't Adam Booth saying they'll counter all night? (or until Hayes big wallops land), MB will come forward which will be perfect for Haye.

    Really hope this isn't another false dawn for the british heavyweight scene.

    i would rather see a toned heavyweight like haye than a blown up middleweight like james toney for example.another one is that peter samual he just looks fat.no muscle defintion

    its these type of fighters who have brought down the heavyweight division.
