    I think Haye will add interest to the heavweight division but ulimatley his chin will prevent him from being a true force.

    To be truly 'saved' the heavweight division needs more than one iconic exceptional fighter. It needs a bunch of very good similaraly matched fighters. Ali would not have been Ali without a a' big Ugly Bear' to beat at 21 or the trilogy with Frazier and the remarkable fight against the thought of unbeatable Foreman. It's the same at the lighter weights - Ray Leonard, Duran, Hearns and Hagler became great because of the fights they had against each other and other quality opposition. Gatti-Ward - Barrera-Morrales you get the picture... To be a great fighter you have to be in great fights against great fighters.

    I for one do not want to see an exceptional heavweight come along only to face poor opposition. We need strength in depth and only then in my eyes will we see a true resurgence in the heavweight division.

    Haye at HW:if he carries his power,that's alot of guys done already. HOWEVER,his chin will get tested as will his stamina.It's 50-50.can't wait to see him v a top contender!If his chin is better due to not cutting weight( a la Cotto),,this guy could be deadly,and I'm not even a Haye fan!
