TONY BELLEW: " DAVID HAYE is the quickest single-punching heavyweight on the planet" . DO YOU AGREE?

That punch/slap he gave Bellew at the press conference was lightning fast.

 

It's up there for sure. Taking aside his dumass appearance, attitude and excuses he is a machine

His straight right is thrown with such power and venom

 

Yes who even comes remotely close???

 

In his prime almost certainly. The first straight right hand that dropped Ruiz was lightning quick.

Now im not so sure....He looks much slower to me. Parker, Andy Ruiz both have decent hand speed for heavys.

 

As was his bottling of Chisora.

 

It looks like we have different views of what 'bottling' is.

Haye never 'bottled' Chisora. He threw a punch at Chisora whist holding a bottle in his hand, his fist was literally wrapped around the outside of the bottle, the force of which made the bottle shatter.

'Bottling' someone is completely different.

 

Yes, our respective views differ.

 

Chisora invented a new term to describe it - 'glussing' someone. "He glussed me!"

He also threatened to "physically shoot David Haye" which laid to rest any fears he was going to metaphorically shoot Davey boy or lyrically shoot him with an ill advised diss track.

 

He's quick, but I agree he has looked slower recently but we shall see vs Bellew...but probably...

I'm not sure AJ is a quicker combination puncher though...

 

The bottle didn't shatter, it could clearly be heard hitting the floor intact after the punch landed.

 

ruiz probably the quickest followed by parker. then maybe haye

 

If Haye was so confident about his speed why did he face the two bums he faced before Bellew?

One of those opponents took a clear dive.

I have doubts about Haye's legitimacy as a top class HW, because of injuries, inactivity and poor opponent selection
