Haye will establish himself as a heavyweight in the next few years and when he is ready he will unify the titles and become the next hevayweight champion since Lewis. Discuss.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Im not so sure without seeing him at heavy first. His speed and power could be used so much better I know that much.
For starters I think the word 'Great' get's thrown around a little too easily around here.
Greatness is pretty hard to measure I mean Wlad has a better chance at becomig a great BUT even his chances are very slim.
I think Haye can be one of the best Cruisers of his time, but you know how long of a rode he still has to cover until we start speaking of him as a 'great'?
It's tough. Haye has often said in interviews that he has no interest in unification or defences. It's WBC and out for him. I'm wondering if he's having second thoughts on this though.Originally Posted by Master
Hes got two options move up to heavyweight and go hell for leather in each fight. if he hits someone he knocks them out.Originally Posted by Master
his other option is to struggle to make 200lb and end up getting knocked out because he is weight weakened.
the heavyweight division is weak at the moment and he could dominate.
Much like how Floyd Mayweather is destined for greatness through a much guided career, I feel Haye could attain similar achievements.
If he stayes away from the +235's he'll be as successfull as he wants to be

I honestly think that Haye could be the recognised Heavyweight Champion.
He can bang...I don't think his chin is that bad...but he does need to work on his defence.
Haye's style is to soften you up with the body shots and then grind down your defence. This will work well in Heavys and I say he is good enough to unify the division.
I'm genuinly excited about Haye!! And...he is fooking marketable! VERY IMPORTANT
He could be the guy to bring the Heavy's back into the limelight...no pressure

Do you think Haye just walks through these guys?.......
and if he somehow did by chance there is Wlad who more then likely bangs harder then the lot!!!!!......And If Vitaly returned withjin the next 6 months ( a big IF) I certainly do not see Haye getting past him...and even with Hayes power he has zero chance of KOing Vitaly.....Sorry to pop your bubble but the division is not just waiting foir David Haye to come and slap them all senseless and take the belts at his leisure
