    I voted average has he hasn't been knocked out, been down a few times though, the Thompson fight was more to do with him having **** stamina than a dodgy chin. I think at Heavyweight his chin will improve due to the added weight as he struggles to make Cruiser but still not sure if he will be able to take a punch against the best of the division. Can't wait for the Haye and Enzo fight.

    Will anyone in the division be able to take his shots? look what he did to Bonin. First jab almost took his head off!

    Haye - Klitschko would be a great fight.

    I think they'd both hit the deck at some point, but Haye would win.

    I think the key thing you say there is about the chance to get shots off. Both Enzo and David have had similar attitudes in believing one punch can do the busines for them. However, Macca has changed into a boxer puncher since working with the calzaghe stable and is now willing and able to box his way towards getting his shots off. Haye still hasn't changed his open lazy style but of course if he gets the punch in early it may be game over. But if it's still going after 4-5 rounds i think Macca's boxing cold decide it. Haye also won't have the height advantage he did over Mormeck which helps in getting shots off from an open stance.

    A lot of internet chatter suggests that Haye is a clear favourite. This this is clearly from people who have not followed both men's careers. Haye-Macca is simply a great match up.

    DH's open style is dangerous against someone with the power of Maccarinelli I just wonder if he will change his style slightly.Should be a great fight I got my ticket weeks ago and cant wait

    :good Thats what I like to see a bit of patriotism. It was early in his career against thompson as well, so he may have been a bit naive.
