    I agree with that. I dont think Haye's chin looked dodgy on saturday, obviously hes gonna be open when going for a knockout but he could afford to do that when Barrett was wobbling round the ring like an old drunk.

    All the time? So far Vlad has had legit Knock downs vs less than a handful of opponents. Id hardly call that all the time. Haye is no diffrent. BUT Vlad is a heavyweight and a big one at that. To hit the canvass against some of the divisions biggest punchers like Peter Brewster and Sanders isnt much to be ashamed of. Vlads chin isnt granite like his brothers but its hardly bone china.

    Now Haye did get cracked whilst sitting on the floor but guess what he was hurt and hurt bad. Hence why he took a knee and hence why he took another knee when recovering in his corner. Hayes chin certainly isnt of the Amir Khan variety but guys like Vlad can crack way better than an old dog like Monte. Haye can be hit easily with lead rights. If he`s only gamble is hoping he will be faster than every opponent he faces then its only a matter of time before he gets stretched out.

    I hear you, my point was that to say Hayes chin is markedly worse than Wlads, when Hayes has been stopped once and dropped what 3-4 times and Wlad has been stopped 3 times and been on the canvas say 10-11 times, is in my humble opinion bunkum !

    The fact also remains Wlad fights scared there is no other way to describe it , Haye sure as hell doesn't do that.
