David Haye: He Can Talk The Talk. Can He Walk The Walk?

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Rick Reeno - Background - Within a span of four-months, David Haye unified the cruiserweight division with his knockout victories of Jean Marc Mormeck and Enzo Maccarinelli. That wasn't enough. The Hayemaker has grown tired of the cruiserweights and moves forward with his planned conquest of the heavyweight division. [details]

It's true that his chin at cruiserweight wasn't that good but was it because of him draining himself to make weight? We'll find out soon enough.

Seems like he had stamina problems more than anything. Adding too much weight can compound that, just ask Shannon Briggs.

The stamina problems could have also come from him draining himself to make weight, all these questions should be answered soon.

hopefully with gbp haye will get much needed training.

Yeah but was he really draining himself to make weight almost 4 years ago? And why did he weigh in 2 lbs light vs Macca if he was struggling to much?

He was training for 9 months for Macca though. I'm not sure what his situation was a few years ago.

Haye is just another British hypejob, he will get KO'd again and exposed very soon.

Haye's flaws and weaknesses - glass chin + **** defence + poor stamina + keeps his left hand too low + amatuerish style = Brutally KO'd and exposed at heavyweight.

Haye is a very easy fight for Wlad...Wlad will knock Haye out cold in the early rounds.

I thought the Mormeck fight was 4 months before the Macca fight. Anyway, he was 217, 11 months prior for the Bonin fight. 17 pounds doesn't seem like much for a CW when you have guys like Pac and Guzman rehydrating that much from 130. Like you say though, time will tell.
