I've never saw Tarver as skilled. He is usually the longer guy with a reach advantage and he was good at using it. However, he was still very hittable even to smaller guys...bigger guys like Dawson had no problem with him.
Haye is far more skilled than some seem to think. Outside of the Heavyweight power and cruiserweight speed he brings Very good footwork, very good upper body movement and he can counter well.
Haye will do to Tarver what he did to Barrett, only he'll get rid of Tarver even faster. It will be a very quick demolition job.
Oh, and Haye is the FAR bigger man. Not only taller, but physically Tarver shouldn't be at HW while Haye cuts down to a very strong and athletic 210-220lbs. He'll be the FAR bigger man.
Very true. I agree with Haye being more skilled.
Tarver below heavy was a rangy machine gun type puncher that used his lengthy advantages against smaller guys.
Haye maker is the second most skilled HW next to Wlad IMO.
All around class wise. His only flaws are the obvious mental issues he faces in reality.
david haye was recently spotted wandering up and down skid row in LA muttering under his breath something about clutchko when approached all he could do was babel incoherently about wanting tyson fury after he rehabbed his brain injury
Actually that was just another one of your coke induced dreams.
I don't see how Haye is the more skilled boxer... In fact it's quite the opposite. One thing Tarver is, is a skilled boxer. I personally am not a fan of either of Haye or Tarver but to say hay is the more skilled of the two is ridiculous. He may be more powerful, which maybe closer than what is seen and he isn't much bigger (height) than Tarver.
I personally think Hayes lack of real skill would get him outclassed and possibly Knocked Out. He would take risks unlike against Klitchko and Tarver is a boxer to expose the risks he takes.
Haye is far more skilled than Tarver. Far more.
It's ridiculous to say that Haye lacks skills. It's the first time I've ever heard anyone say that. He's a skillful fighter. He lacks a fighting heart, but he's skillful.
I don't really see the point in Haye fighting another 38+ year old. he should fight a proper heavyweight if he's serious.
I miss Tarver doing commentary. He was actually good at it before he had a ****** fit and juiced for the Kayode fight, and then dumped by Showtime for it. That's where he needs to be, not in the ring with Haye. I know he probably needs some cashish and is just blabbering to get a payday... but really he'd get annihilated in that fight. And as for his spiel, he isn't a legend or a star, but I'd say Haye would be smart to fight him.
