David Haye? Is he the next big thing in heavy weight?

Question

The guy has certainly proved himself but has he got the chin to step up to heavy weight and rule it? He keeps comparing himself to Holyfield who too was a light guy for Heavy. I don't doubt his power and speed but stepping up to Klitschko?? Love him or hate him he's a good champion with a h**l of a jab.

What's your call???? Will he make it?

Answer 1

I honestly think we will have to wait this November to see him fight a top 10 heavyweight.  But, he has knocked out all but 2 of his opponents, I think some of that power will go up to heavyweight, cause he's obviously a devasting puncher at cruiser, so he'll probably just be a "great" or "above average" puncher at heavyweight. I think he will do very well. He can beat Ruslan Chagaev, I dont know abotu Sam or Klitschko, he'll have a fair shot though. He was struggling to make weight at cruiser so that might indicate that he'd be even MORE powerful at heavyweight, who really knows, but I'm excited to see him fight.

Answer 2

David Haye has one thing right he,s next he will never be heavyweight champion and please don,t compare him to Evander Holyfield lets not get silly here. Haye is a good fighter but his defence is very weak and after going 8 rounds with a real heavy weight who is trying to tare his head off he will realise he made a mistake in going up against the big boys. A true heavy weight is just to big for Haye to deal with I know he spars with heavy weights every day but sparring and fighting is two different things and he will find that out . Klistschko will kill him it wont be close. Let me tell you something about boxers we don,t like people moving up into our weight class it is a sign of total disrespect and every fighter knows that and we get a Chance to show the smaller guys what it,s all about we not only try to kill them but we try to retire them.
