David Hayes heavyweight top ten

Good post. I still dont know much about Haye but I can picture him beating most of those guys, depending on how well he takes a punch at HW. I've watched quite a few of his fights (to see what the truth behind all the hype was) and have been pleasantly surprised. He's got some pop, very good speed if he doesn't do the 'I must bulk up to fight heavyweight' bullshit and a 'mediocre at best' chin. It's definitely a recipe for excitement. I suspect he'll carve up a few weaker heavyweights, then get caught by a good one and go down. I hope he does well though purely because I'd like to see a heavyweight who does more than shuffle sluggishly around the ring. I'm not sure that Haye has the chin but I am morally certain that the increasingly heavy heavyweights would get murdered by a speedy powerhouse a la Tyson/Frazer. The mistake that the 6' - 6'4" fighters make is eating too much and then justifying their weight as somehow useful in a prizefight. Crude clubber Sam Peter would be shitloads better at a lighter weight. Tua was a different fighter when slim and fit. I would love Haye to do well as a template for a better heavyweight. There's no way of telling til he gets in the ring a few times.

That's a bunch of old and 2nd rate guys. Not a bad start though. If he fought Povetkin, Klitschko, Brock, Thompson he'd be embarrassed back to cruiser before he even got started.

If i pit AOST ANY of the HW's against each other it bores the titts off of me! It does. But Doing the same with Haye against NEARLY ANY of them is exciting!!! He may or may not be the goods at HW but he definatley intruges!

A good list but his detractors will have ammunition win or lose. Knocking out McCall would certainly make people sit up and take note though.

David Haye: Who's the top five rappers of all time...... David, David, David, David and DAVID.... Because Haye spits hot fiyah!

your ful of sh*t!!! seems to me, you haye nuthuggers aren't so confident in your man if you want to see that bum fighting old men like holyfield!!!! You might want to try actually reading the article (assuming you can read). The article surprised me in that it seemed a fairly objective assessment of Haye's likely opponents and their pluses and minuses. Seeing as it was only addressing fringe contenders, past their prime warriors and small men the article actually came across as a warning to Haye to not pick too lightly regarded an opponent as it will not help his reputation. Sage advice. It was also not bombastically touting him as a world beater in one fight. Mention of the real players in the division was incidental and there was no suggestion that he would face them immediately or could beat them. I was expecting this to be a strongly biased piece but aside from a strong assessment of his qualities as placed against weak opposition it seemed relatively objective.

Haye would beat all of them. Haye Vs. Holyfield would be a great fight! your ful of sh*t!!! seems to me, you haye nuthuggers aren't so confident in your man if you want to see that bum fighting old men like holyfield!!!!

Haye would beat all of them. Haye Vs. Holyfield would be a great fight!
