    This is David Haye :
    Height: 6'3"
    Weight v Barrett: 215lbs
    Reach: 78"


    He is fighting (apparently):

    Vitali Klitschko
    Height: 6' 7 1/2"
    Weight v Peter: 247lbs
    Reach: 80"


    His only experiences at fighting at heavyweight are:

    Tomasz Bonin
    Height: 6'1"
    Weight v Haye: 231lbs

    and

    Monte Barrett
    Height: 6'3"
    Weight v Haye: 226lbs
    Reach: 78"



    Should Haye really be fighting Klitschko now, or would he be better gaining some sort of experience against a man that sort of size?

    Someone like:

    Michael Grant
    Height: 6'7"
    Weight in last fight: 265lbs
    Reach: 86"

    or

    Tony Thompson
    Height: 6'5"
    Weight v Wlad: 247 1/2lbs
    Reach: 81 1/2"



    I think Haye has the talent and the skills to trouble a Klitschko, but right now he has absolutely zero experience of fighting someone that size. I think he is making a mistake rushing into this.

    Thoughts/opinions?

    He'll learn **** all fighting Thompson. I reckon Haye would have him early doors but maybe a fight against another prospect or two (Johnson) just so he's earned the right to Vitali.

    However, that wont happen and fair play to him for going after the big fish. It'll either be embarassing for Haye or spectacularly successful for Haye.

    Yet another repeat thread snatched from other posters, if you want opinions, go scrolll through the host of other threads like this you idiot.

    God no wonder you have over 5000 posts since June, it may be better that you leave the computer for a day?

    Thompson would wreck Haye and on top of that he's a southpaw. He's tall and reachy but he's not the kind of guy that would prepare Haye for Vitali, unless by "prepare" you mean "tenderize and marinate".

    He would do good to get any kind of experience fighting at HW IMO

    What's the closest resemblance of a fighter Vitali faced that fights like Haye? IYO

    the obvious answer is he will bring in tall /stand up sparring partners.

    English Tool Bag is quickly becoming the biggest ******* around!!


    I think Haye has a better shot against Wlad but he has the skills to do some damage soon no matter who he fights.

    I'm amazed you'd show up on here, after ''Bad Chad'' made a mockery of the sport by agreeing to wheel out the plodding heavy bag that is Tarver.

    That is nothing like gaining the experience of beating them in a real fight though. If it was that easy, why bother fighting Bonin and Barrett?
