Can David Haye become Heavyweight champ and how? against who? your thoughts guys.
I think he can if he plays his cards right. He should only bulk up to no more than 215lbs to maintain his speed and reflexes. He needs that speed edge to avoid shots that would knock him out. It will also help him land his shots and I think he does have enough power to knock out heavy's also.
If he bulks up to 230+ like he plans, he will be slower and get his head knocked off.
I think 224lbs (16 stone) would be a great weight but he is 6ft 3 inch
He can definitely win a belt. Even though he had a crap chin and was a blown-up cruiser, Herbie Hide did it in an era when there was actually some talent in the division, so Haye can do it.
He's got a realistic chance of being the top heavyweight too.
I'd give Haye a good shot. I think should stay at cruiser for a few more fights though. Guys like Cunningham/ Huck winner, Maccarinelli & Bell (if he ever gets back in the ring) deserve a shot at Hayes championship. Haye should try to clean out the division. But you gotta got where the money is... & thats above 200 pounds!
I think Haye can beat Oleg Maskaev and Ruslan Chagaev. But I think Samuel Peter knocks him out. And Wladimir Klitschko destroys him
God damn you VD...if i'd have got to this thread then you'd have been copying me, but as it is I must agree with your conclusions. Basic fact is that Maskaev and Chagaev are not great champions, not by a long shot, and are totally beatable. They don't hold great power, and won their belts by outworking guys who were not famed for workrate, so I believe Haye could beat these two fairly easily, with his workrate over 8 or 9 rounds, and holding the power to be a threat even into the championship rounds.Quote:

Lets not forget Haye can bang if he caught Wlad flush he would go similar to the way he did against Sanders.
Not saying Haye can beat them but both Wlad & Peter have shown weaknesses in the chin. With Hayes power & work rate theres always a possibility of catching them!
This is true and Toney a small heavy wobbled Peter Haye hits harder than Toney and McCline is'nt known as a banger yet had Peter down 3 times.Quote:

I really enjoyed it im a Haye fan i was shouting my head off at tv
That was a great performance from Haye against Mormeck. How do you guys think he does against Cunningham or Bell?
No he can't if Wlad gets all the belts which he is on his way too doing.
Haye by KO he showed in the Mormeck fight he can work for the KO
I think he'd beat both Cunningham and Bell, however I don't think he'll even consider fighting at cruiserweight again, whatever his manager says.Quote:

Haye needs to beat a few decent heavies before linking him with Wlad. At the moment Wlad would be a massive favourite.
He would box that shit plodder Sam Peters head off.. although there would be a very strong possibility that shit plodder Sam Peter could take Haye's head CLEAN off.
Haye definately could be a force at Heavy I hope he does move up and keeps form, because he would bring some excitement to that division.
If Wlad can connect maybe but Haye would need 2-3 great performances before we talk about a Wlad fight. I think haye has anough explosive power and speed to catch Klits chin. But again I think he is a long way off.Quote:
