    Haye's chin

    Is Haye's chin that bad?

    Up until recently I had only seen him in against Macca so obviously I had not really seen his chin problems first hand. Recently I have been watching some of his other fights and I just don't see that he has a "glass" chin. Sure it isn't granite but is it really that bad? Take the Mormeck fight. He took some flush rights from Mormeck who isn't a light puncher and I thought that overall he stood up to them rather well. So is his chin as bad as everyone says it is?

    Thoughts?

    I don't think it's great.

    Rewatching the Macca fight I think Macca had a legitimate chance to have Haye all over the place in the 1st round but he bottled it sort of. He threw a short left hook and it was solid and Haye's legs stiffened and Macca just admired his work.

    But that's a Haye with almost 0% body fat, that just isn't right.

      Watch the Fragomeni fight, his chin clearly isn't that bad otherwise he would have been on the floor many a time.

        Yeah I mean, I have seen him take some very solid shots and not go down. That is not a glass chin IMO.

            Fragomeni is a pretty modest ****er though.

            I think Haye has an alright chin, but someone will have him over and out at heavyweight, I'm braced for it.

              It's not as bad as some make it out to be but it's not very good either.

                Haye has never big KO'd. He's got a decent chin, I've seen my boy take some bombs.
                To say his chin is just pure glass is not correct, IMO.

                  it's toughened glass.
