    Can David Haye really clean up the Hvy Wgt Division?

    The man has some serious power, and is patient enough to land his bombs. You think he could cause some real noise? Imagine that, another UK boxer being the unified champ. He may be the next Lennox. I can see him giving Wlad problems if he maintains his weight properly going up. If he comes in just big enough and maintains his speed, I think he could KO Wlad. The other heavies are a disgrace just about, so I don't see any really giving him much problem.

    He can make an impact for sure.. No doubt about that.

    Klitschko will give him hell though.

        it appears he may be able to, but still remains to be seen. his chin is questionable, and how will he be at taking a punch at heavy, and with the extra weight? for sure he is one to watch, and is promising thus far, but for me, i need to see some fights aggainst some of the top 10ish heavies to formulate my opinion. i am no doubt excited to see how he does though.

          I'll wait for him to fight a legit top 10 contender before I'll make a prediction about his future at heavyweight.

            Completely depends upon how his strengths and weaknesses adjust to the division.

              He'll always be fun to watch.

              He'll get knocked out a few times though. But hey so did Big Len.

                i cant see Haye lasting to long though if he does'nt tighten up defensively ,u cant take to many flush shots from a HW

                even HW with good chins can be knocked out at that weight ,the one thing i dont like about Haye is he tries to replicate Roy Jones Jr a bit to much ,but Haye just aint as athletic as Roy and his reactions are considerably slower than his hands IMO

                Rid**** Bowe had the same kind of problem IMO ,fast hands for a big man but but his reactions did'nt mirror his hand speed

                  Haye has loads of talent but he has to tighten up hes defence and he is also very exiticting to watch. If haye uses hes brian he will have every chance to clean up the divison and he also adds exitment to the heavywight division

                    Its hard to say until we see him in the ring with a good HW I think he can beat slow plodding type guys like Peter but Wlad is a good boxer and very tactical so not sure Haye would do well vs him.
