    Why many people are overrating David Haye

    I just saw the Wlad/Haye poll and it's like 50/50. I know it's probably 5 limeys with their 50 alts voting but lets get real, name me one C level heavyweight in Hayes resume?

    You guys can jump on his nuts once he beats a decent heavyweight, until then, please STFU already.

    Haye will not save the heavyweight division, he's not the Real Deal and lets not forget it.

    Thank you!

    Surely writing him off before he's even got started is as flawed as overrating him?

      I can't disagree with you, here. We should all give him a chance but seeing 50/50 poll with Hugimir is a little disturbing in my opinion.

        Agreed. Haye fans need some perspective, he's an exciting prospect - but right now that's all he is - a prospect.

          I'm a bigtime Haye fan, but I will reserve judgement on his abilty to beat Wlad until he has done a bit more in the division.

          I even saw a poll on here asking who woul win between Ali and Haye, I **** the ****ing bed when i saw that ****.

              but dont you think that poll being near 50/50 is a bit out there? I mean we all know wlad isnt flawless and can be hurt but he has only lost 3 out of 53 times to strong heavyweights and hasnt lost in years. considering haye hasnt beaten a legit good heavyweight yet and the fact that he;s shown some vulerability as well to guys who havent the fraction of power of wlad doesnt exactly make his chances close to 50/50 (at this time) of taking wlad in my sane opinion

                Haye is hardly a prospect as he is the world cruiserweight champ. I dont think I voted on that poll there is no point at the moment, Haye is a great cruiserweight but its difficult to tell at the moment how well he is going to do, I hate the fans that say he has no chance against that communist but saying he would Ko him in 1 round is just as ******, I do hope he can Ko wlad.

                  How is it possible to overrate a man who was an amateur World Silver medallist(first brit to get into a World final) and currently the Undisputed Champion at his weight limit inside 21 fights?
                  If Haye was american he would be the second coming of Jesus Christ right now.
                  If anything Haye isn't getting the respect he deserves.
                  How many other fighter past or present can lay claim to being undisputed champ in 21 fights?
                  Haye should be celebrated like Povetkin for taking risky fights and giving the fans what they want to see rather than ducking and diving and padding their records.
                  Like a lot of "established" fighters do.
                  I just don't understand the hate for guys like this?
                  Must be jealousy!!!
