This fight is a while off, at least a couple of years would be my guess. But who thinks Haye once he has established himself at heavyweight can take Wladimir's crown?? I think haye has a great chance. He is incredibly athletic, has great handspeed, very good combinations and with the added weight can only assume that his stamina should hopefully improve. I see this fight similar to the Sanders fight where handspeed and raw power do for Wladimir.... what are your thoughts guys??

I love David Haye but we need to see him in action more at Heavyweight before we know just how good he can be.
One thing is for sure he has plenty of Speed and power.
It is whether he can take a shot from a real Heavyweight.
I hope he can ....but I am not passing judgment until I see him tested.
He was very impressive in destroying Bonin but Bonin is barely Euro level.
Have a look at him for those of you who haven't seen him.

yeah i agree mate, he's a very exciting fighter and he has the charisma which can lighten up the heavyweight division again. Clearly he is untested at heavy couldn't agree more but i think he has the tools to progress quickly and make a real statement of intent within his first year at the new weightComment

Haye is the only potential world class heavyweight we have. Once he moves up, we all need to get behind him and cheer him on.Comment

If Haye isn't packing glass (sadly, I strongly suspect he is) then he could dominate the HW division. Frankly the division is in desperate need of him.Comment

Just remember, his move to Heavyweight doesn't necessarily "make him" a natural heavyweight.
If he moves up, I cannot see him making anything more than 220 comfortably....and today 220 is a small heavyweight..
so he is already at a disadvantage vs guys like Peter, Wlad, Vitali, McCline, Valuev and Maskaev but right in there with guys like Ibragimov and ChagaevComment

what makes you think his chin is poor mate? the carl thompson fight? im hoping that was just stamina issues and not his chin.... the nature of his career though has meant he hasn't spent a lot of time getting hit because his fights barely go past 3 rounds!! lol hopefully his whiskers can pass the test because his offensive skills are undoubtedComment

Pretty much what everyone else think he has the talent and speed and power but can he take a heavyweights shot. I don't think we'll know the answers to this for maybe 2 years at least.
DURAN_IS_GOD Did you manage to watch the Pryor vs Arguello tale I put up for you last night. If so what did you think.Comment

Good thing, at least he tries to knock his opponent out and has boxing skillsComment

Partly Thompson, partly whenever he gets hit he doesn't react well, partly his defence isn't great and he will get hit and hit hard.
I look at the HW division and I can't see anyone to hold a candle to him talentwise. But the key in that division is always how can he take a shot, because he will have to be able to.Comment
