    Haye was never really hit flush on the chin like lennox was as a heavyweight if he was he would have been ko'ed

    I saw Wlad (the hardest hitting heavyweight ever potentially) hitting him with a few right hands on the face but Haye took them.

    Because he moved with the force of the blow taking its effectiveness away wlad never landed flush

    Early career knockdown from an uber vetted Lolenga Mock, whom Haye dispatched.

    And he was dropped by Mormeck who was basically a tank at CW, whom Haye also dispatched.

    I don't see a glass chin here, Haye has taken some good shots.

    It wasnt that bad in cruiser, most of the times he was hurt after getting caught pretty good when he was already fatigued. He can be hurt but recovers pretty good.

    Be reasonable. Haye was exhausted.

    I think its the Ruiz fight where can gets clipped clean after the bell i think it was. He goes back to the corner on unsteady legs... Virtually no one mentions it but its there he was rocked.

    His chin isnt great, his reflexes and decent head movement used to keep him out of harms way but he seems much slower now and i cant see it lasting.

    Its not glass just a bit weak for an at one time upper tier fighter

    Down V Mormeck, Clubbed out V Thompson and Mock had him hurt as well.
    Lauri had him cut and hurt as well if i remember before his power bailed him out

    V Wlad he just kept moving only took 1 or 2 flush rights the whole fight and was always going backwards to take the sting out of it

    From Cruiser & up... you get cracked solid & you are pretty much getting KTFO.

    His chin is very shaky, he arguably got dropped by Monte Barrett and he did get dropped by a SMW.

    Mormeck is a decent hitter so we can give him that one, but he doesn't like being hit and has a track record of hitting the canvas = shaky chin

    Mormeck, Cat, Monte Barrett, none of these guys are exactly power deficient, and Mock he fought a veteran 4 fights into his career. By no means am I saying his chin is iron, but glass no....

    Not great but not terrible.used his speed and power to take out fighters before they could do damage.seems to have slowed down and got very muscular.l think he will get hit more now if he fights any better class of fighters then we will see how his Chops cope

    Haye was also rehydrating not less than 10 pounds for those fights, that thing takes a toll on you
