Haye fight, the English commentary sucks: Haye is the fastest heavy since ALI?

[SoldierWarrior]

haye is a great boxer

For what? What did he do that was so great? Beat old boxers who weren't good to begin with? Shot-Holyfield already beat Valuev, and middle-weight Roy Jones Jr. already whooped a younger faster Ruiz and it was Roys first time at Heavy.

The greatest thing Haye has done in his Career is whoop Enzo Mac's ass and his very solid win over Mormeck. Which he did all at cruiserweight.

[Jim Jeffries]

Actually name some HW who were faster than Haye since Ali

Michael Dokes and Herbie Hide for starters.

[Sweet Pea 50]

Michael Dokes and Herbie Hide for starters.

Ahh, Dynamite Dokes. That fight against Holy was tremendous. Love that shi

[Rich.r]

Whos faster than D-Haye then ?

[Jim Jeffries]

Ahh, Dynamite Dokes. That fight against Holy was tremendous. Love that shi

Yeah Holy's first real test at HW. The coke had started to take ahold of Dokes by then and he'd slowed down a bit, but still a good scrap.

Anyhow, I'm gonna go ahead and go out on a limb and add Tyson and Jones Jr to that list.

Michael Dokes
Herbie Hide
Mike Tyson
Roy Jones Jr

strictly staying with world title holders.

Haye is very fast, don't get me wrong. But as he adds the pounds, he loses some of that.

Corrie Sanders is probably around where Hayes speed is. And yes Sanders beat Wlad, but how much better is Wlad since that fight? Comparing that Wlad is like comparing Haye to the Haye that fought Thompson. Fighters learn on the job and improve much more, I haven't even seen anyone even come close to seriously cleanly hitting Wlad as of late and Chambers has pretty fast hands.



You can see how fast Corrie Sanders could throw combinations. Sanders is underrated especially in speed.

[Benny Leonard]

I remember a young Tyson having very good speed

Such an over-used song but what the hell...showcase of speed

[Schmerzen]

no heavyweight can match alis overall quickness.
i like english football commentators, but boxing commentators are usually big nuthuggers.
when danny williams KO'd tyson, they were cheering like it was an upest ala tyson vs douglas in tokyo.
but its still worthy to watch a boxing fight with an english commentator, the accent is so much better than the boring accent of american commentators

[S.G.]

The Sky Sports commenatators are terrible in general. Jim Watt was a great fighter but holy **** he's annoying.
