Dark Destroyer Nigel Benn on David Haye

[WelshDevilRob]

David Haye's made the step up to heavyweight. We've seen some greats like Evander Holyfield succeed with such a move, but do you think Haye's got what it takes?
Yeah, because at the moment you've got to look at who else is out there in the division. You can see Haye will be a fast and powerful heavyweight. If he gets to fight Wladimir Klitchsko I think he'll stop him. I don't think the Ukrainian can cope if he takes a shot.


MAKING HAYE ... A real prospect in the heavyweight division
"If you watch him, he keeps powering out his jab, powering out his jab and only moves in if he feels his opponent wobble. But if he takes a good shot he retreats back into his shell. Haye can deliver that shot. Mentally, Haye has got it too. He's proved that in his career so far. You've got to look at the defeat he had against Carl Thompson where he bounced right back up again, he can deal with the knocks. Haye can do it, but there will be distractions. I've said to him: ‘Keep your feet firmly on the ground mate, don't get sidetracked by all the fame and fortune. Learn from my mistakes. There'll be women throwing themselves at you, there’s the cars, the clubbing, all of that. But keep your feet on the ground. Stick with your guns and you could do really well in boxing. Do not get carried away, I'm talking through experience." - Benn.

Good read mate, but Vlad ruins Haye imo

If Haye fights Vlad i think its a case how lands the right hand first wins the fight.I wouldnt be surprised if Haye jumped on him and stopped or ko'ed him in the first.Vlad has been tentitive of late with his right hand thats why i see Haye getting to Vlad not vice verser.

Haye's going to be a decent heavyweight but I think he'll falter even before he gets to Wlad...it's not just because he's got some flaws but the division just seems to work that way....a guy can be a world beater in the heavyweight division and can get unlucky and get KO'd.

David Haye had better worry about fighting the little guys in the division because I'm damn sure that Sultan Ibragimov won't RUN from Haye the way he did from Wlad....I'm sure Chagaev can handle him...I'm sure Sam Peter can hurt him although if he was to beat Sam Peter that would definently set up a match vs Wladimir and a BIG one at that.


I only want Haye to succeed so that when Wlad beats him I want Wlad to get the full respect for it

Vlad doesn't have a violent bone in his body. He's a timid little soul in a big mans body. He reminds me of the "Wizard" on the Wizard Of Oz...because if you can get past that giant curtain of a body...then all you have is a timid little soul pulling the strings.

If Haye can get past that jab and take Klits power...he'll ko Klit later in the fight. Klit will always crumble when he can't control the tempo .

don't like saying to much about haye lately becasue maccaranelli is a very close friend of mine so i will always come accros biasd.


But, with trying to be partia;, i think klitchko could stop haye with his jab alone. Lets not forget haye is 6 ft3, sure weiht wise he has struggled to make his last few fights, but hight is a big thing in boxing, Wlad maybe a borring boxer, and shit scared of taking one to the chin; Haye will look small should he get in the ring with him, his jab will masaure him.

Peter has been put down, but in all honestly thought a prime mormeck would not of finished haye off after had him looking like bamb on ice??

i give haye credit, he stood up, went on and won; but any fighter worth their salt would of finished him after that. Mormeck was fucked, he was fucked in his last bought with ball after 6 rounds, peter hits harder and gets closer, haye beats him by a flash knock out, and a winning lotto ticket.

He is now fighting bigger guyd, " the turth will find him"

wrong, he has a very violent bone, but he is fucking shit scared iver his chin, watch his fights, he throws his jab to great effect, but keeps his right tucked on his chin, he knows it is shit.

Before vitali fought lewis, eeryone knew wlad was the better boxer, he just has a piss poor chin

Wrong, he has no back bone. Everytime someone was tough enough to take his best...and dish out some of their own...he folded like a deck of cards. He's only winning cause of his size...not his heart.
