I think that some myths need to be put to rights here:
1). The fight was boring.
5 knockdowns in 5 rounds? WRONG! It may not have been a classic encounter, but it was two heavyweights engaging in battle. No plodding, no clinching, all punching.
2). Biased ref.
He left a rattled Barrett get off the floor 4 times and could've quite reasonably stopped it a couple of times before then. Barrett was warned for punching around the BACK of the head, Haye punched to the side. The first time Haye hit the floor was a slip and a push cos he was off balance due to his ******ly wide stance as usual. The second time its too hard to tell, nothing significantly landed off Barrett, it could've been a flash knockdown, Haye is certainly prone to them. However, hitting him clean while his arse was on the canvas could've reasonably been a DQ. So the point deduction is about right.
3). Haye has no chin.
Inconclusive. He wasnt hurt in this fight. He's still only been knocked down legitimately twice, once by Thompson when he has utterly exhausted himself and one by Mormeck when he didnt actually hit the floor and blatantly slipped on the ring-trim. Thats not to say that any of them werent legitimate knockdowns, nor is it to say that Haye has no chin...but it simply hasnt been proven one way or the other. Not to mention that Haye himself uses it as a selling point, it makes for exciting fights...so what is the point trying to be critical about it?
4). Haye would get destroyed by both Klits and his fans are dreamers.
Incorrect, Haye's fans (like myself) are more realistic than most Klit fans. Haye is quite likely to get knocked out by both, we all know this. If I had to bet money, thats the eventuality I'd bet on. However, Haye DOES have the tools to beat both fighters perhaps moreso than any other heavyweight fighter. Wlad's weakness is his chin and his workrate. Haye has the speed and the power to expose those weaknesses. Vitali has got slower, Haye could expose that too. I'm not saying that he WILL. But acting like its an impossibility is being more unrealistic than saying that Haye might well do that. Moreso, its being ignorant of the flaws that Klits have shown in the past.
5). Haye will hide behind fringe contenders now.
He called out both Klits, to their faces. He's unified his division within his first 20 fights. His first fight at heavyweight is arguably against stronger competition that Wlad's next title defense. Haye has done nothing in his career to suggest that he's going to go for the easy career path that so many other fighters have. Assuming that he will is nothing other than ignorance of the facts of his career so far.
Haye may get knocked out by any of the top 50 heavyweights in the division, that is certainly possible. But its not unlikely that he could knock all 50 of them out either. He has pace, power, willingness to make big fights and his is exciting. Those are not things that can be said easily about the heavyweight division over the past 5 years.

No no no He does'nt have that good of a chin. He does'nt want to be touched for a reason. He can't fight inside for a reason. He's an imposter not a fighter. He's a very athletic actor who learned how to punch and watched alot of prime Roy Jones. He was hurt in the fight when barrett landed that flush Left hand and Haye hit the floor. Maybe it was to hard for you to see but I seen it clear as day. Haye was rocked bad and got all the time in the world to recover. If he was'nt hurt why did he go to a knee twice after hiiting the floor? If it was a slip what did he take a knee for? You could clearly see he was rocked. Sometimes love works in funny ways and you sometimes shadow or block the truth from you're mind. 
with David Haye. Sometimes Love will screw you up inside and keep you blind for years. You have to understand he has no feelings for you. To David you're just a groupie ho that gives him money. Hopefully you'll eventually get over it and start to realize the truth.
