If Haye sticks with the mediocre British coaching he's been receiing he won't be unifying a darn thing..boy needs to head over the Atlantic in quick time (however his stubborness for being over patriotic will probably prevent this from happening).
haye's a talent and packs a mighty dig.however i suspect he just isn't going to be durable enough at the higher weight.
I'm a big fan, but am very sceptical. He struggled with average cruisers and looked poor at times against them.
Another american hating on british fighters will this shite ever stop, well he went over to farnce to beat Mcormeck I don't see any americans coming over and fighting our champs.
I wont mention Klitschko, because Haye would get destroyed. But I also think Chagaev, Ibragimov, and Peter knock him out. I am not sold on Haye at heavyweight. He has huge power, but as far as his defense and chin go...there are question marks.
Haye is a perpetual KO victim at heavyweight. He lacks a chin, has mediocre defense and boxing skill and at heavyweight his power becomes a non issue. He is another British castration victim.
Let this guy fight James Toney. Something tells me one fight with James and this guy goes back to the CW division.
Toney is done, he's looked really bad in the last 3-4 fights. 3-4 years ago he woulda schooled Haye and knocked him out, now he probably loses on points. But not by KO. James can't be knocked out....and won't be knocked out.
I have no doubt Haye can beat some of the Heavys out there, but his power wont be as good at Heavy, and skills only carry you so far in that Division Granite chins, and HUGE power carry you alot further look at David Tua he aint a slick boxer but his chin and power have taken him a long way! He best be careful because some of the heavyweight boys out there may start to walk straight through his punches and start unloading on him and with his chin that could be dangerous!
