Haye at heavyweight - currently non quantifiable

[Duke McKenzie_]

Chin, stamina, power... all could be effected by weight.

He could be good, he could flop. We simply can't know until we see it.



End of discussion.

[Allucard]

Pretty much yes. Even if he is all muscle, muscle still weights

Yeah there's no way of telling whether the extra weight will slow him down. They said something about his October 18 fight being postponed due to arm injury? That's 90 days away, how bad could his arm be?

The main thing people doubt him about is his chin, and chins usually get better when you stop starving yourself to make a weight you're not really comfortable at, so it should improve quite a bit with the move to heavyweight.

Hey, who is?

There have been a lot of champs who stepped up a weight class and immediately got a title fight, but people keep on saying " Haye doesn't deserve a title shot" and he was the undisputed champ at his weight class! Additional to that people say heavyweight is the weakest division, which even supports Haye's ambitions.

Please name a fighter that jumped up from a lower weight, that had success at HW, that was previously stopped at the lower weight. The jump from CW to HW is a lot more than the jump from say SFW to LW. Even the great Holyfield had to fight 6 credible HWs before getting a title shot. And on no planet is HW a weaker division than CW.
