    Or are the big big men too big?

    He doesn't have the style, the defense, the chin, or endurance. He's no Evander Holyfield

      To be "Great", Haye would need to decisively walk through all the pretender HW's out there. He won't.

          I think he'd make a great heavyweight.

            He'd hurt Wlad if he landed, but having said that Wlad would knock him into next week if he lands a right hand

              He can be a good heavyweight, he does need to keep his left hand up though, Macca did hit him once or twice.

                Remains to be seen.

                Haye will IMO be a contender, perhaps even a champ (unless all the titles are unified) but I wouldn't be too sure about great.
                The Hayemaker is a good addition to the heavyweight division and if he keeps knocking people out, a fight with Wlad would be a good one even though I reeeeaaallllly doubt Haye could beat Wlad.

                  What he said....

                  What kind of amateur pedigree does Haye even have anyway? I know Holyfield was a bronze medalist in the olympics in Atlanta. Didn't Haye win a silver or somethign?

                    He could destroy a lot of fighters out there and I've always thought it's possible he could pick up a HW belt. However he'll always be vulnerable to the KO; he won't dominate.
