Sorry Haye: you will not unify in the years to come.

I remember another undisputed Cruiser Champ who moved up to heavy and had the same doubts cast on his ability tocope as a small heavy against the giansts... Evander Holyfield. Speed kills... Dark Lord Al has a point... we are all guessing until Haye gets in with a legitimate Heavweight contender.

This concept of an iron chin amuses me... if any fighter lands a perfectly timed timed a shot on a fighter around the same weight then it's going to have an effect... It's the defence that makes the difference. Partially blocking the shot or moving your head/body to take the sting out of it makes the most difference. Very few fighters are blessed with an iron chin.

I hope Haye does make an impact at heavy because at the moment the heavweights are about as exciting as a game of dominoes in my local...

Holyfield had/has ant ATG chin. That is his big advantage and difference over Haye.

Holyfield also worked his way up to a title shot.
