Is David Haye getting over-hyped and overrated again?

Funny how ya'll try to discredit Chisora now but hyped him up when Vitali was fighting him

Haye deserves all the credit in the world for destroying Chisora like that. It's one thing to hurt an iron chinned fighter but to keep landing incredibly fast, flush shots to finish him in that manner is very impressive. I think Haye is the only HW right now that could do that to Chisora, in that manner atleast.

Look at say Fedor, he was a pretty tubby guy himself all throughout his career.

I'd rather see Vitali fight Haye than Charr.

Haye-Povetkin would be a good fight for later this year, Haye should jump on that.

On a side note, it is funny that people are now talking about Chisora like he's a bum, but he was a top HW when Vitali was fighting him. Chisora was a solid win for Haye.

Haye can forget about fighting a Klitschko though, it just doesn't seem to be realistic for him. He should pursue Povetkin, Adamek, or Fury next.

Funny how a fat as fcuk Tyson Fury beat his ass & took his '0' & got no credit yet Haye stops him in a fight he didn't exactly look spectacular in and people are praising the guy as if he just beat a prime Larry Holmes.

Probably around the late 90s
Quite difficult to say really as nearly all of his opponents didn't last longer than a few rounds.

Sanders was good, but never anything more than a outsider looking in.

Haye probably couldn't take the shot Vitali took, but he doesn't fight the same way and I wouldn't expect him to take those shots. Also Sanders probably had worse stamina than Haye and was never in shape. It always felt like Boxing wasn't his career just something he did on the side.

Rahman is far more static than Haye and also has chin issues (he was dropped early in his fight with Saunders if I remember right) and managed to put Corrie away. So to say offhand Sanders would blow Haye away when Sanders biggest win is over a green, glass chinned young Wlad? His next best win is probably Purrity.

He is getting overhyped IMO. But oh well, that's boxing fans for you I guess. I'd like to see Haye fight Seth Mitchell if the Vitali fight isn't happening next.

Haye should fight a Ring top ten HW contender, and then try for another fight with a Klitschko.

Well, if haye can hit them, they go, even if your a granite chinned and weigh 2 stone more than him you cant take liberties with haye.

Its unfair that guys like haye are blessed with power. Makes you wonder if he has anything else? But beating chisora, who aint much is good, as he ko'ed him and your not supposed to do that to chisora.
