    Haye's chin is absolutely awful.

        Calzaghe's a quality fighter, one of the best Britain has ever produced but there is no denying between the Eubank and Lacy fights is 9 plus years of garbage. I've heard loads of excuses for this, Hopkins, RJJ and the other top fighters near his weight wouldn't agree terms but each of them seems to have met each other, while Joe was fighting nobodies. The only fight out there that would improve Joe's record would be Pavlik, a genuine peak top P4P fighter would erase a lot of questions from his record.

        As for Haye, his career is only halfway through so it's tough to judge. He was a heavy before turning professional so it's not entirely new to him. The Thompson fight was taken when he was inexperienced (11 fights or so) and that showed by blowing himself out and losing. Bad result certainly but in a way it's helped him take more risks in his career as he didn't have to protect that precious 0 that British fighters seem to crave more than big names on their records. JMM was 36, for the heavyweight, Crusier and Light heavy divisions thats not that old, he was 'the man' at the weight and Haye went to his hometown to knock him out. Yes he was put down himself but he decided to go down to take the count to compose himself, something 'man boobs' Enzo should have taken note of.

        Champions move up all the time and aren't expected to face 3 bums before going for a title and it will be no different for Haye. It's not like the Heavyweight division is any good, there's only 4 fighters in that division that would cause Haye problems, Wlad (Vitali too injury prone), Peter, Valuev and Solis and all of them have weakenesses that give Haye a chance.

            I know it's only my opinion but i don't think any of them are that good, after watching Chageav limp past the quite useless Skelton i think Haye would beat them all.

              Haye is going to need to duck the better punchers if he's to survive in the heavyweight division.

              I think Odlanier Solis is a much better heavyweight prospect than Haye.

                Really? he hasn't looked that good since turning pro he is fat and lazy, he looks to be getting worse. If he got into shape then maybe.

                    Did you know Solis KOed Haye in the Gold Medal round of the world amateur tournament in 2001?

                      Why would you want to discredit one of Haye's big wins like that?
