Lack of ability. He was just never as good as advertised. **** Haye.

[Bombs]

Lack of testicles is what costed him his career.

I guess if he was bigger than Wlad it could have worked out, but he knew all that going into the division (or that fight) and fought in a way that would never allow him to beat Wlad.


Glad he had people fooled though I banked off of that fight~

DAVID HAYE is just another modern fighter who’s just not good enough, not skilled enough and not mentality tough enough. He had speed and power but that’s simple not good enough. He will not be missed he never gave me anything worth missing.

Oh really ?

But I thought that blown-up cruiser would monster the K's

The lack of size was always obvious, was always relevant, and was always going to be a problem..... I have issues with journalists that have only just figured that out.

It was his failure to take more risks in that fight that sealed his fate.

The K-bro's enjoy a massive size advantage over most of their opponents, so I struggle to see how a blown-up cruiser was expected to handle them with no problem.

David Haye is an inch taller than Alexander Povetkin.

Haye is taller than Lamon Brewster and Joe Frazier.

Haye is 3 or 4 inches taller than Jack Dempsey and Mike Tyson.

Haye is naturally much bigger than Chris Byrd and Eddie Chambers.

Haye said he was "killing himself" to make 200. Adamek was hurting to make 175, but he had no problem at all making 200.

David Haye is a medium-sized heavyweight with very similar proportions as Muhammed Ali.

yeah but boxing is that unfair to not put a Super-Heavyweight division on...i mean the size & weight differences between Klitschkos & their opponents are really hilarious...

[FeFist]

If he was the same size as Wlad, Wlad would still beat his ass. Fight looked like a crude pub fighter vs a boxer, at least when Haye went on the offence.

In terms of slipping punches he did well enough which is why he didn't get broken down and knocked out.

Size was always a huge obstacle. But Haye's lack of real effort and conviction were the worst things about his HW run.
