    Default Is Haye's power overrated?

    Do you think David Haye's power is overrated, at least at HW? He knocked out an old Ruiz, and Harrison (Though, Harrison was STILL able to get up). The best example of his power was when he rocked Valuev.

    No not really. I don't think it's that he's "heavy handed", perhaps even at cruiser he wasn't, but he is a dynamic puncher and can get in great position to blindside his opponents. There is no question he doesn't have Wladimirs pop or even Wilders raw power, but if he lands his best punch there are only a few HW's I can think of who aren't likely going to sleep.

    I swear everyone forgets that one.
    Also he was the first and only one to do so.

    I agree that the Chisora KO is the best one on his record along with rocking Valuev to prove his punching power. I wouldn't go as far to say his punching power is overrated, more that his punching power has been overstated by Sky

    He doesnt have onepunch ko power but his handspeed is so much faster than most HWs that hes able to catch them with shots they dont see coming. At Hw, his speed is power.. kinda like pacman in the higher weight divisions.

    100% agree. Fury is going to find out first hand.

    Easily when he got off his ass to go on and batter Mormeck , that was a great finish

    Haye will have to knock fury out cold otherwise he will keep getting up.

    Fury has a crazy heart and this would be a huge upset if he beats haye.
