    I don't see how he could be HOF. He doesn't have one HOF fighter on his resume nor a reign dominant or long enough.

      Understand David Haye had a 85% KO ratio, understand only 2 men lasted the distance with him who were reigning heavyweight champions, Haye unified the cruiserweight division and than became heavyweight champion. Haye had the fastest hand speed, head movement and most powerful punching power in his ERA.

      Understand he is a legitimate candidate for hall of fame.
      In terms of physical attributes then definitely a HOF candidate but his in ring accomplishments did not live up to what he could or should have done. Johnny Nelson had a better run at cruiserweight than David Haye. If Haye had gone on to put up more of a showing against Wlad and had names like Arreola, Sam Peter, Povetkin and Fury on his resume then we may well have been speaking of HOF credentials.

        Nelson's run may have been longer, but I don't think it's necessarily better considering he never fought the champions that mattered like Virgil Hill, JM Mormeck, Gomez or Bell after he beat Mormeck. Haye unified three belts - and beat the legitimate champ.

        Even if Haye had beaten Fury, Arreola, Adamek, Povetkin, Peter, Pulev over the last couple of years he shouldn't have been inducted. These figters have never beaten anyone of note. The only fighters that could have put Haye up for the HOF are Wlad and Vitali.

          He'll get into the HOF based on his cruiserweight accomplishments.
          For 2 cruiser title fights, one of which was Enzo?

              This is . Such a reach.

              Haye kind of cleaned up a weak cruiserweight division (Enzo and Mormack lols). Then beat the slowest heavyweight in history in Valuev. Makes two joke defenses against Ruiz and Audley Harrison, yea that's right AUDLEY HARRISON!!!! He ends his career with an embarrassing display (after all his talk) against Wlad. The Chisora win well.. that's just w/e.

              Randell Bailey has a KO% of 81% and I'm sure if he was matched as carefully as Haye it would be closer to 95%. Does that make Randell bailey a HOF'er??

                Two title fights at cruiserweight? Once against a man who was given his title because because he trained with joe Calzaghe and was signed to frank warren.

                Four title fights at heavyweight, one a lucky decision against the weakest title holder, one against a 38 year old not ranked in the top 20, one against Audley Harrisson and a loss to THE MAN of the division.

                This is a HOF resume?

                    If this the REAL Dwyer or a guy trying to be funny and imitate him?

                    If real, I like most of your videos but this is just a big NO.

                      David Gaye belongs in the Hall of SHAME

                      @ Crusier, his best wins were Enzo Maccaroni & a blown-up shopworn mediocre midget in Mormeck.

                      He was stopped by Carl Thompson LMAO

                      Put down by Monte B & Mormeck

                      Completely FAILED against Wlad in his CAREER-DEFINING fight

                      Beat a statue in Valuev - an alphabet title

                      What he did to Tyson Fury was not only a disgrace, it was predicted.

                      Haye is a cancer to the sport and truth be known, I hope either (1) he never recovers from his injury to box again, or (2) he boxes again to have his career finished via annihilation.

                      David Haye - everything about him . . . :gay:
