Is David Haye the savior of the heavyweight division?

[DaxxKahn]

That's true Daxx, but Haye could be, COULD BE the next Evander Holyfield.

No offense Von but when IO heard Haye and his team say in interview's he was going to be the next Holyfield I got nausious....Haye is no Evander or does he have half the skill a CW Holyfield had, Evander also had an Iron chin during that time...It took a mcuh bigger and harder hitting guy in Bowe to stop Holyfield...Evander is a rare breed...Haye does not have the chin, ability or heart of Evander

[Kirkland Laing]

He won't be moving to take part in the next stage of Haye's career - that probably lies on the other side of the Atlantic, possibly with Don King, who promoted his last fight in Paris, when he won the title from Jean-Marc Mormeck. He was down in that fight before stopping Mormeck in the seventh - and King's step-son, Carl, who handled promotion, said later, "This kid's got everything. He can punch and he's chinny. The Americans will love that. He's a good looking kid. He brings what we want: excitement."

Agree with this. If the heavyweight division had guys like Tyson/Bowe etc. Haye might just stay at cruiser for a while. He does have a chance against anybody there right now though because the heavyweight division is so lousy.

....always positive, this one

I don't think he's the savior of the division but the heavies are wide open & he could make some noise. I excited about the move & thats what Haye will bring to the division... a whole lot of excitement!!!

Win or lose it'll be fun to watch I'm sure

[El Kabong]

It's always nice to have fresh meat in the division hopefully some young guys can start making noise.

David Haye

Chazz Witherspoon
Odlanier Solis
Alexander Dimitrenko
Eddie Chambers - if he threw some goddamned punches he'd be awesome
Alex Povetkin
Cris Arreola
Travis Walker

and fellow cruiserweight Jonathan Banks

All those guys are young and COULD help refresh the division which is still running on the fumes of Rahman, Holyfield, Golota, etc

Always realistic.

I can't wait to see what Haye can do to that load of old rubbish.

We have an exciting heavyweight but as long as he is with Don King he won't be fighting anytime soon, Lamon Brewster.

[Wayne]

Lamon Brewster? You kidding me? So far as I'm concerned that guy is retired. What heavyweight will he be a challenge for? The guy's concerned with keeping enough marbles to have a conversation with his kid and with his style he's got to be all or nothing.
