David Haye Plans Heavyweight Cleanup

[Drunk Punch]

Is anyone seriously dissing Haye when he has a record of 20 KO's in 21 fights? Who has a better record than that? Who?

Haye will be a monster at HW, and the fact he has no chin will mean it will always be an exciting fight to watch. After watching the dire display of Klitchko/Sultan surely Haye is exactly what the HW scene needs.

Haye's style has already made him a fan favorite at CW and will do the same at HW, but he lacks defensive skills and a durable chin, so that will prevent him from cleaning up at HW.

I can see him beating all the guys out there, but Wlad, Chagaev and maybe Vitali if he comes back in a similar shape to what he once was.

Nevertheless, his fights will sell and he will be a major player at the division, ending up champion at some point.

I am a big Haye fan and have watched him since his first pro fight. He has great power and fairly quick hands for a big guy. His body frame means he can easly carry around 220lb. When Haye moves up to heavyweight his resistance to punishment will improve and his legs will be much better after taking a punch but i dont think his actual chin will improve, If you actually have watched all of haye's fights you will find that infact he has never had a problem with his chin, its when a big punch lands on the side of his head around the temple that he has real problems. I dont see why haye would have trouble landing a jab on chageav If someone as slow as skelton can land punches on chageav there is no reason why haye wouldnt. Haye's big problem at heavyweight will be wlad haye keeps the left low he will be wide open for a big straight right. I think haye could do with working with some experinced trainers to help out on his defence.

lol. I would'nt yet i am a bit nervous about this one Haye could get caught by a big punch to the side of the head or run out of gas because of the weight.

I know, I feel the same but to me that's one of the best things about Haye. You just don't know what will happen.

[Ray*]

there's miranda,,,,wlad,,,,pavlick and a few others Im sure

None of them has the power to KO an opponent with one punch, Now they're heavy punchers but they dont have the sort of power that Haye possess in his right hand.

[DrewWoodside]

Not only is a statement like this looking past his opponent, but it's looking past his entire division!

[The Hammer]

The cruiserweight division is ****. But the heavyweight division is even ****ter.

E.G Povetkin vs Chambers. Povetkin is talked up as a contender but he is deadly slow. Chambers couldn't punch a pillow that night.

Haye could do some damage as a HW.....

Cheers

Povetkin isn't "deadly slow" at all - he has good handspeed and moves very well. You seem a bit slow in the head.

Haye will be easily defeated by either Povetkin or Wlad.

And put an end to the Haye hype!

I think Haye will win, but I'm rooting for Maccarinelli to pull off the upset and become the cruiserweight champion.
