    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
    His reactions will be better than any other heavyweights Imo he has good reactions for a big man.

      I hope he can.

      He would beat Peter with ease, but whether he can defeated the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World is a different matter.

        Peter is made for Haye.

        He wings everything.

          Klitchko was boring in his last fight but very patient and effective. His only real weakness is his chin. I have no doubts that Haye will take his power up with him.

          I think he could do very well but he will always be vulnerable.

            I like Haye a lot but to go to HW and have major success one of the bare minimum essentials is an IRON JAW (see 'Vander), and that he doesn't have. He can have some success, I'd pick him over Chagaev, but I think Peter and Klitschko could knock him out. That said if Klitschko fought as negatively as he did against Ibragimov I'd pick Haye, depends on what Wlad shows up

              If you can fight your fight the strength of your chin is not always so important. Patterson had a weak chin but still became a very good champ.

                David Haye is very good for the heavyweight division. He's not really so small, he's the same size as Ali (has the same height and reach, similar bone structure and frame - remember, Ali would have been a cruiserweight in his fights with Liston and Patterson at under 200).

                He will have an impact - I think he would KO Peter, but I don't think he'll defeat Wlad. But Wlad is now 32 and will be past prime in a few years, while Haye is young.

                  There are 2 ways that Haye can clean up the heavyweight division.

                  1. A broom and a mop.

                  2. With his face.
