Hype or Real Deal? (David Haye)

He unified a division in 2 fights, he has beaten several former cruiserweight champions and has made a splash at HW. He has a weak chin but him he's the real deal. You don't unify a division off hype.

Is lennox still coming in to work with him

I'm sure most ppl on this site have a life as well. I wouldnt bank on that Kswizzy!

Lots of Potential??? yes.. The Real Deal??? not yet :no:

I'm not too bothered about being "proven wrong" I have a life you see. sad nobody asked you.:ugh: I'm sure most ppl on this site have a life as well.

haven't seen much of him, but from what I can see at this point : At cruiserweight he's the goods. At HW mostly hype.

At cruierweight, real deal. At heavyweight, Vitali is the real deal right now. To be fair u dont need to be THE very best to be the Real Deal. If Klitchko KO's Haye he hasnt been EXPOSED, we all know he's vulnerable but he is still a very good fighter and the real deal Hype is what guys who havent done anything get, Haye Unified a Division and stopped practacally everyone in his path

At cruierweight, real deal. At heavyweight, Vitali is the real deal right now.

He is currently the only fighter worth paying money to watch in the HW division. I wouldn't pay to watch Wlad. Exactly nobody else in that godforsaken division is worth a penny of my hard earned!

He's good, but if it wasn't for his mouth he would not have gotten the title shot against Wlad.

22 fights + WBC,WBO,WBA and Ring belts = Real deal.

Hypejob Haye! lol almost ALL the people voting for Haye, are British. What a surprise.

He is currently the only fighter worth paying money to watch in the HW division. I wouldn't pay to watch Wlad.

He's currently only hype at HW, but that doesn't mean he's ALL hype. We can only wait and see if the HW hype proves to be true. He'll likely lose to Klitschko, but I think any fighter at heavyweight out there would lose to Klitschko at this point. Maybe how he handles himself win or lose in that fight will tell. In his last 10 fights, Haye's opponents had a combined records of 293-29 and he's blown out a couple of good opponents that were essentially even or close to even money fights (Maccarinelli he blew away in 2 in an even money fight...Mormeck). To me he's gone beyond the hype. I still don't think he'll beat or come close to beating Klitschko, but will likely make a good account of himself.

Haye is the real deal,but at HW? too early to say Co-sign........

Hype at HW...

The guy is the lineal and unified Cruiserweight champion. Protip and this goes for any fighter at any weight. If you unify the division or are a multiple belt holder at a division YOU ARE NO LONGER HYPE!

I'm tired of ppl declaring fighters as super great or calling fighters just hype and then going into hiding after they are proven wrong. So this thread is to call on those ppl when they are actually proven wrong with evidence. So pick your option for David Haye but remember, you might be proven wrong so pick carefully. I'm not too bothered about being "proven wrong" I have a life you see.

At CW, he lived up to the hype. At HW, we don't know yet. I suspect he'll get killed by either of the K bros. Accurate post right here...

It's not an either/or. Haye IS the real deal as a boxer, his CW record is more than enough to prove that. Whether that carries over to HW remains to be seen, of course. Haye IS also a hype-job, most of it from himself. I don't know quite what people expect; if he had remained quiet and unassuming there would never have even been the possibility of a Klitschko fight, this year or next. Even then it would have been for peanuts, certainly on Haye's side. More hype (within reason) means more money, as long as you don't push it too far and don't mind eating the humble pie if it doesn't pay off. If it does, though, the sky is the limit for Haye's earning power particularly if the US can finally produce a couple of top quality contenders for him to fight.
