    Pretend I know absolutely nothing about his story (which I pretty much don't), and catch me up with the answers to a few questions.

    - Has Haye had any fights in the Heavyweight division yet? (If so who did he fight/how did it go?)
    - Does he carry extra weight well and lead people to beleive we would be suited to the Heavyweight division.
    - If you had to pick one or two of his biggest assets that he could carry into the Heavyweight division, what would they be?
    - Although I may be wrong, it seems as though just from the general idea i've got from reading random threads, he's been talking alot but not actually following up by taking any big fights... Am i correst with this, and what is your opinion on why he hasn't become an active Heavyweight yet?
    - Finally, does anyone truely beleive he can do well in that division, and will get behind him?
    - Actually, finally finally, is he the sort of guy that could win a LOT of fans over if he does well, or is he a bit of a twat that you kind of watch in the hopes he'll get knocked out (unless you dislike the other fighter even more).

    Thank you, this should be a great thread to catch me up on the Haye story with i've somehow avoided up until now..
    First of all yes he has fought in the heavyweight division. He fought Polands Tomasz Bonin and KO'd him in round one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOF0XLBhfbo

    Secondly he does carry weight well IMO and is expected to weigh in at around 220lbs mark.

    To answer your third question I think his best assets at HW will be his relative young age. His great punch power. And finally I think he will have too much speed for most HWs.

    He unified the Cruiserweight division in March then announced he would be fighting in HW from then on. He said at the time that he had a few things to work on including his defence so he wouldn't be fighting until about November, which he is expected to be doing against a top 10 heavyweight.

    And finally yes I can see him doing very well at HW but only time can truly answer that question. I am a big fan of Hayes and apart from his big mouthing to Wlad he actually normally seems quite a decent Bloke who does talk some sense.

    All i believe is that Have will be a better Heavyweight than he was a Cruserweight. Will he got knocked out a some point.. almost certainly, will be win a couple of belts.. definatly.

    Thanks! You covered everything i'd been wondering there.... Very interesting indeed and I really hope he does well.. I can start getting behind him now... It's a good story so far, and I hope it leads to even greater heights for him.. And anything that takes the heavyweight division to greater levels helps the whole of boxing. At least for an outsiders perspective... I've truely missed some really cracking heavyweight fights..

    One thing I'll almost certainly guarantee is when he does fight at HW it will be exciting while it lasts no matter what happens.
