Is David Haye the savior of the heavyweight division?

[Kev]

The power he carries at CW does not mean it is the same power as a HW....Guys who are used to getting hit by..big 250lb punchers and getting hit by a guy who is strong at 195 is different...and anyone who does not think so needs to learn a bit more...

I completely disagree. Haye feels he is not a big cruiserweight moving up but rather a legitimate heavyweight who fought below his natural weight class to win titles in two divisions.

Prime Tyson only weighed 215 lbs and nobody has hit harder in the last 20 years.

Prime David Haye weighs around the same and he'll still have hellacious power at heavyweight.

The division is hardly stacked with talent so Haye is a most welcome addition.

It's a stretch to say he's the saviour of the heavyweight division but discounting the Canadian Lennox Lewis Haye is probably the most exciting British heavyweight since Frank Bruno and quite frankly that is good enough for me.

I think he's arrogant and irritating but he will fight anybody and can lay out anybody if he connects with that big punch.

He's got to be a top 15 p4p fighter now, to go the backyard of the Ring champion in the division and knock him out in 7 rounds then defend against a fellow world champ and huge domestic rival and blow him away in 2 rounds is a momentous feat.

This kid should be getting the same recognition that Kelly Pavlik has been getting and I look forward to seeing him in the heavyweight division.

Is there anything wrong in a boxer being arrogant?
I am gald he doesnt talk in the third person as much as Lennox Lewis.

I thought Roy Jones Jr. did that the most...I never heard Lennox do it

[Master]

Lennox always talked about himself as the third person. Head up his ass.

Haye should move to heavy there is always someone that will say they should be fighting him. He has done enough, time to make some big money and get rid of some lazy, untalented and poor heavies.

I am interested to see him fight Odlanier Solis and see if he can't get over getting beat in the amateurs
