Haye will get knocked out for sure at heavyweight, it's inevitable....It will be interesting to see how Haye bounces back from being knocked out....Maybe Haye he will learn to keep his left hand up and work on defence to protect his glass chin.

I'm not so sure he will. Hold your horses, maybe the ones to be knocked out are the likes of klitschko, peter and chagaev.
He has a chance but I won't put my money on him until i see him fight a average to good heavyweight.

Beckham was never really good.

He can hit a long ball accurately and take a decent freekick now and again. He had a great work ethic.

But mainly he was good looking, he was a good player but no where near as good as his fame would suggest.

Beckham is a typical english player, blood and guts with no real technical ability when it come to actually manipulating a ball at his feet.

Chunk is sad because Joe Cole shagged his mum.

I'm more pissed off that he shagged Keeley Hazell.

Actually you yanks are the ones paying him a million dollars a week!

No one really rates him that highly over here although he does show more passion than most of the twats we have playing right now. He's more a celebrity/fashion icon etc etc over here now.

Yes IMO, David Haye is good enough to win one of the major World Heavyweight titles (WBC, WBA, IBF, WBO).

Haye will have a significant speed advantage over all of the heavyweights with only a slight disadvantage in the power department. Skill-wise, he is on par or better than nearly all of the top 10 heavyweights.

Let's see how he compares to the heavies with regard to physical attributes. David Haye is 6'3" with an excellent 78 inch reach who has fought once at a very solid 217 lbs. He has a large frame and is very muscular with little (if any) excess fat. He also had to diet hard to cut down to the 200 lbs cruiserweight limit so it is within the realm of possibility that he could weight in at strong and fast 225 lbs.

The current title holders at heavyweight are Ruslan Chagaev (WBA), Samuel Peter (WBC) and Wladimir Klitschko (IBF and WBO). The easiest route to the heavyweight title for Haye would be through Chagaev who is shorter and has a lesser reach while weighing only around 230 lbs (and not a cut 230 lbs at that). Chageav is a respectable heavyweight with good skills and power, as he displayed by defeating the giant Nikolay Valuev and the skilled, though boring John Ruiz. However, Haye would give up nothing in the size or power departments while having a dominate speed advantage.

As for Sam Peters, I can see Haye frustrating the Nigerian Nightware with speed and gradually wearing Peter down with power shots. Haye's supposed deficiency in the chin department would be tested as he would be vulnerable to Peter's slugging haymakers. I would favor Haye slightly but not by a large margin.

Lastly, the much larger Wladimir Klitschko would pose the greatest challenge to the current undisputed cruiserweight champ. I would favour Klitschko if this match up was made right now, but in a couple of years time if Haye gets the right experience, I'd favour Haye. We know Klitschko can be hurt as evidenced by his canvas eating performances against Lamon Brewster, Sam Peter, Corrie Sanders and (yikes!) Ross Puritty. Haye would have to leave his bravado at home while using his superior quickness and speed to stay away from the Ukrainian Steelhammer for most of the early rounds. Haye can't just run the whole time though, as he needs to tire Klitschko so that in the later rounds, Haye can throw caution to the winds and mount an all-out assault on Klitschko's chin.

Cut the hate, He has a chance.

wait until Wlad is outta his prime and then fight him.
