I dont think he could take a full on shot from Haye either. Hes just got to fight alot smarter and he is capable of that.

I see Haye as a bit like Mosely. He has fast powerfull hands but thats it. He doesnt move his head or have any real defence. His success has come against fighters that have been a bitintimidated by his speed but at the same time Haye has fought BIG men like hes intimidated of their size.

Chisora pushed him well and if he hadnt have opened up it was only a mater of a round or two before Haye fell apart. Chisora got careless as I reckon he could feel Haye slowing.

Tyson is still learning with each fight. Every fighter he faces hes picking something up in regards to experience and poise. Fury is better than Chisora and beating Chisora the way Haye did has masked how vulnerable he was looking. Tyson getting dropped by Cunningham has masked an excellent result.

I also agree that Fury is not going to be the most gracefull or skilled heavy but right now with whats out there hes as good as anyone and his size, awkwardness and willingness to let his hands go is far more enjoyable to watch than the other boring plodders.
i'm not sure I agree with a lot you have said there ross

haye has a very good defence for a heavyweight

chisora wasn't in the fight at all with haye, although he made it exciting by keeping moving forward

and im not sure Tyson is so much better than chisora, if the two fought again I think it would be a very different fight, first time fury got away with it because chisora didn't put the effort in
