    He even admits he has a bad chin.

    It's worse than Audley's, yes it is. And no it has nothing to do with the weight limit. He's been on shaky legs from guys who weren't even CWs. He's almost guaranteed to get knocked out at the journeyman level at HW.

      Yeah Haye loves to blame the weight loss for all his shortcomings.

      Fact of the matter is that if he had that much trouble making weight he wouldnt have showed up for the Enzo fight a pound and a half under the limit, drinking a smoothie.

      His chin will be worse at heavyweight cause his chicken legs wont support his body collapsing on top of them.

        he has a ***ile chin i agree but i think his chin might get a little better fighting at HW having a thick set legs and kneck may help his cause more in that sense

        Michael Moorer had a questionable chin and he did okay Wlad has a questionable chin aswell so

        Haye will deffo have to keep his hands up more though because allthough those guys are chinny they fight or fought out of a conventional style with both hands up etc

          What Wlad has is something different than a weak chin. You don't often see him on shaky legs. Something different happens when he gets hit.

            Haye should have 2 KO/TKO losses on his record right now

            Super Middleweight bum Lolenga Mock got robbed of a 2nd round TKO win over Haye.
            There is no way, even if Haye was inexperienced that he should have nearly had his head taken off in that fight. Mock went down and was caught ocassionaly, but he was never remotely hurt. The fight should have been stopped shortly after Haye threw himself ontop of Mock (when they get back up and Mock starts catching him again). To Mock's credit though, He is better than his 27-11 record and has beaten some good fighters (and should have a KO win over David Haye + the stoppage was terrible in that fight!)

                yeah i agree

                but infortunately i think that something is quitting

                take a look at his face when he comes back to the corner after being down against Peter he looked like he wanted to quit he looked completely distressed its the same look he had when Brewster and Purity hurt him he started falling around the ring and gave the ref no option but to stop it

                  but that has more to do with the fact that Wlad is 6ft 6 and holds people when they get inside and throws one jab per round and tries to do everything he can in a fight not to have to take chance

                  not because he has a good chin

                    Wlad has a weak chin and Haye has a weak chin. Haye has an exciting explosive style and Wlad has a boring technical however effective style. Haye just needs to settle all this **** fight Barrett or JD in November and be done with it. Get that 3rd or 4th round TKO and move on to Dimitrenko then on to a title shot or a better contender. David Haye get it done man.

                      Well actually I pointed to two factors - the weight loss and the type of punches he's been wobbled by. Temple shots can be amoung the worst to get hit with and he was hit on the temple by Mock, Thompson and Mormeck.

                      Well boxing wouldnt be boxing if you didnt learn lessons. I think Haye knew he'd pushed it fine making the weight for the Mormeck fight so he stayed in the gym almost immediately after to train for Enzo.

                      Anyway.......why Im trying to reason with a guy who has drawn a picture of a **** jizzing in Haye's face is beyond me.
