Haye Makes a Heavyweight Statement in Win

[EliteSoldier]

Its a valuable lesson to learn and a mistake that I'm sure he'll not make again. But it is not an indication of his potential quality.

He's alot like wlad klitschko. He tires himself out too easily. Except wlad has learned from his past mistakes. IDK, if this kid will or has learned from it. Will see it down the lines in his career.

[Toller]

ok, so is he the next Wlad Klitschko, or the next Audley Harrison?

Did you see his fight against Fragomeni?

[EliteSoldier]

That comment about him being the next audley harrison was more of a joke, I wasn't really serious about it. He's more closer to be the next version of wlad. But faster, I think wlads stronger though.

[Toller]

fair enough, if it was a joke i apologise for the bad k!!

I agree like Wlad their is tons of potential to be an awesome HW, but there is vulnerability too. I think he hits about as hard as Wlad (bit less power but more speed & accuracy) but obviously he's not as big or strong physically. He won't be a dominant champ but I could see him winning a proper belt.

I want to see a wlad/haye fight. Hopefully down the line, it eventually happens. As of now, Haye is going to kick mormeck's ass. But I doubt mormeck wants the fight.

Are you kidding me? Haye is not very good. Here's a copy of my post from another forum:

In the first minute he threw two hooks. I could throw a better hook at the age of nine, and I'm not being hyperbolic. His right hand drops even when he jabs, and he has a hitch in his jab delivery regardless. His right moved a foot away from defensive position when he threw the hooks. And even the delivery on his admittedly quick straight right had flaws. In sum, he can't box nearly well enough to compete as a small heavyweight.

Another very respectable poster from here gave a similar and slightly more detailed analysis. Don't expect this guy to compete with the top dogs at HW. He just doesn't know how to box nearly well enough.

With that said it was an exciting moment, last night's fight.

Haye hasnt got an aura of invincibility about himself but he sure can acheive something as a heavyweight. If James Toney can then David Haye can!
Its funny how David Haye went all out on old man Thompson and couldnt stop the guy but can stop a big heavyweight in 1st round. Theres no exact science to explain that really is there?

That's blasphemous. I'm no Toney fan, but you can't compare a masterboxer to an amateurish physical specimen. C'mon now hugh get it straight.

[Toller]

It all depends how he's matched up. There's plenty HWs he could blow away with ease, and I could see him beating the likes of Maskaev. But against sturdy HWs with a big punch he could be in trouble.

He is still learning though. There is a lot of raw potential, but its packed into the body of a green fighter who could coast to reasonable success on just his natural skills.

I would like to see Haye at CW, with fights against Mormeck, Bell, or Enzo, but he seems to have some issues getting down to CW. At HW i have to wait and see, a few more fights against good opponents should give us a clue on how much of an impact he will make at HW.
