He reminds me of Herbie Hide.Barret is no where near a big heavyweight but he was still alot bigger than Haye. Hide was a small HW with speed and good power but no chin very much like Haye but i think Haye chin me be a bit better.
When Haye comes up against a big fighter i think i might struggle i hope iam wrong,He is good for the division hes a fighter thats goes looking for the ko and at the moment theres not many that are.
I don't think his chins that bad, when he's been knocked down it's been temple shots that would have floored a lot of fighters. And he gets back up from them too. BUT he's still to take a big heavy wieghts punch who's throwing with a lot of power.
Where I doubt David Haye most is his stamina. In a hard fight over 12 rounds he'll be out on his feet.
I think Haye is a lot better than Herbie, and has already accomplished a lot more in his career by becoming undisputed champ.
just relized the title should say. Is david hay the new herbie hide of the hw's LOL
i think it will be better at heavy as he has prob learnt to pace himself better since the Thompson fight and he did have weight issues in the past.Quote:

It depends on how often he allows himself to be hit and what happens when he does taste some leather from the heavyweights.
