Haye said he wants Wlad in wembley stadium

[PeterbyKO]

Wlad would knock him out with a jab

Ok then, take Sam Peter for example: I really feel Haye could give him nightmares with his speed. Sam Peter is a very slow guy. It's like I was saying last night, you can get by without a solid chin if you fight your fight. I don't understand why some people are so pissed off, Haye will bring some much needed excitment. He's a quick, athletic, power puncher.

Roy Jones took some reasonable punches from Ruiz. Let's see what Haye can do.

HW may not be the best division right now, but it is a very deep division. I'd put 7 or 8 guys as heavy favorites over him, another 7 or 8 as slight favorites over him, and another 7 or 8 as even money with him.

There are that many capable guys

An understandable viewpoint. Haye hasn't been truly tested at the heavier division but his offensive skills and speed are above the majority of fighters at the weight which, at least in theory, put him a class above the lower ranked heavies. Again, it's the evasion or absorption question - Haye's defence is the main point of contention, something which needs improvement but considering the incoming fire will be slower paced, might not be too much of a problem. For now it's a waiting game and time will tell whether Haye's all round skills are at elite heavyweight level, but what we do know is that he's the number one elite cruiserweight and that in itself is a positive sign for Haye's heavyweight campaign.

With Haye's low left hand and questionable chin it doesn't seem like a good formula to make it big in the HW division. He's definitely quicker and more athletic than most of the HW's now, but Im only going to believe the hype until I see it.

Haye could beat these guys. Of course he could. But it would be a very worrying at any point of a fight. Whether he would beat them we will only know when they actually fight.

[The Hammer]

haye only says that because he knows wladamir cannot take the fight without being stipped of a belt

Exactly. Wlad has two mandatories to deal with.

[MELLY-MEL...]

I don't see Haye beating wlad without a few fights at heavy! even then i am not sure.

The big question mark over Haye is how he'll absorb the heavyweight punch. His only pro heavyweight fight had him knockout the mediocre opponent within one round, it wasn't a real test but rather a display of Haye's punching power at the higher weight against a durable fighter. It showed that Haye can hurt a durable heavyweight with devestating effect but the question still remains, how much can he be hurt by them?

In theory, Haye should have improved durability, punch resistance and stamina but it's anyone's guess at the moment as to if they'll be evolved enough to absorb repeated heavy attacks. If Haye can abosrb (or evade) punishment well enough, he'll be a force at the elite level with his offensive skills, especially in a division where the elite fighters are, from a historical perspective, comparitively unimpressive.

what makes you think bonin was a durable opponent? the guy never fought even 1 fighter with descent power

wish i could fast forward time this overhyping of haye is sickening, excactly why i wanted enzo to beat him. But then they would probably say enzo could beat wlad... ****ing a
