    I reckon thats a bit unfair, he looked bad against Carl Thompson but that was years ago in only his 10th fight and he's came on leaps and bounds since then. He had a couple of shaky moments against Mormeck but nothing to worry about really(probably the big occasion getting to him a bit)

    I can see him doing very well at HW

      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 won HW silver at the world champs

        Haye fights how he sees the fight going.

        He will adjust and keep a tight guard against the HW who lets be honest are pretty slow.

          Haye is a good addition to the heavyweight division...He is a very athletic devastating puncher. With that being said, Haye has a glass chin and stamina issues, he will eventually get exposed and knocked out at heavyweight....Macca rocked Haye with a left hook in the 1st round, he could've KO'd Haye if he fought more aggresive and wasn't so timid.

              ....The ref was ****, but Enzo was overmatched in the power category. He may have had a chance if it had gone further, but as it was he got starched. Haye does not impress me at all. He holds his hands too low, is hittable, and was terribly inaccurate when a completely out on his feet opponent was right in front of him. He missed 5-6 shots in a row before landing another one when Mac was defenseless right in front of him. When Haye faces a big punching heavy he's toast.

                He stunned Haye that was it.

                Macca being more aggressive would have mean't him walking onto something, which for sure would have mean't lights out.

                Haye= straight up KO specialist.

                He COULD get wlad out of there. I'd put money on Wlad doing the right thing, and being super cautious early and then dominating with the jab and stopping him late. Haye is still to open to right hands which is Wlads game. With all that said Haye would put him out if he landed and with his speed,accuracy and timing, it's not just a punchers chance.

                I wonder who he would target?

                I think he'd do Sam Peter. Personally.

                    He's not big enough. The fact that he can make 200lb at 6'3" and he's already 28, and look how ripped he is...I just dont see this guy being solid and fluid at 220+, which I think is a minimum these days.

                    I havent seen much of the guy, but he seems a bit loose, thats all good when your Ali but he isnt.

                    Macca was landing some good jabs on the guy, he just wouldnt be able to take them from Wlad.

                      It will be interesting.

                      Gotta get his hands up. And the additional weight will have its problems with speed and movement.
