He also says he was only 65% of what he should have been in the fight

He might be something special at heavyweight. Let's face it, there isn't a lot of competition.
Haye looks fit.. Don't think the chin would hold up at HW . Lets see Haye give David Tua a test drive and see what happens !
At some point he's going to take a full-blooded flush shot on the chin from a proper heavyweight and then we'll have a better idea. He could be the new Herbie Hide. But even Herbie managed to win an alphabet belt and the competition at heavy is a lot less fierce these days.

He's got power and is vulnerable to a big punch himself. With the current rubbish competition he might look more Nigel Benn than Herbie Hide -- he's definitely going to be worth watching as far as this armchair fan is concerned.
