    E.G Klitschko vs Ibragimov. Seriously how a guy like that can have two belts in a HW division is beyond me. He would have got stopped by the champs ten years ago.

    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
    That statement right there negates any chance there is intellgence in this post. While the heavies continue to find a way to make things worse. The guys just south of the obese line are filled with talent promise. Not to mention a linear champion. Im not saying Haye is the answer for the heavyweights, he honestly needs to bring his left hand up to block punches with something other than his head, but he has speed and power and that could cause some trouble for some top guys. But I can also conceivably see haye being a heavyweight version of Jason Litzau

      haye will make for exciting fights at heavyweight and will only be good for the division. however, as you point out, much like litzau, its only a matter of time before he is laid out.

        Ive never once seen a fighters chin improve when moving up to heavyweight. nor have I ever seen a fighter show as much power. the odds are against haye but it will be interesting

            I seriously believe that Haye will bring the excitement back into the HW. And, I really hope he meets Wlad, he will destroy him once his weight is up.

              if he doesnt learn to bring that left up,,,he'll be lucky to make it out of the 1st round against wlad (assuming wlad lets a right hand go early,,lol)

                Cruiserweight is not **** it has much more exciting fights than many of the other divisions its just that its not got any glamour, I am all for reintroducing cruiserweights back into the heavyweight division but if they don’t I will still be watching the cruiserweights.

                  Haye is as likely to cleanup the HW division as Toney was. Wlad would KHTFO very easily. Wlad would break him down as will several others HW's. The HW division is much better than the pundit's will admit since most of them are biased towards black American fighters.

                    Haye silly already

                    I cant believe he said that. Even before Macca has whiped the floor with him he sounds like he has pugilistic dementia already.

                    He wouldn't last a round with either Klit-schko.

                      We all know that Wlad starts fighting from the 3Rd on lately, this gives Haye the opportunity to destroy Wlad early. Haye is no southpaw so Wlad will jab a lot more although he should be more afraid of the Hayemaker than Ibragimov.
                      Wlad's right ends the fight for Haye but it's the same the other way around.
