I think heavyweight is a different animal than the rest of the weight classes. But fine, let's say it's the same as all the other divisions....usually when a fighter gets KO'd they have to answer for that, when has David Haye had to answer for his loss to Carl Thompson? You fanboys blame youth and "he gassed out" but since when has he answered those questions

David Haye is out now....so this whole debate is moot anyway
I'm surely not a fanboy of David Haye.

Heavyweight is a different animal than people just moving up weights yes, your probably right, on the other hand its the only category that has no top limit really. Haye will fight at a weight that is fine for Heavy, just not huge. Only time will tell if he can really stick it at that weight.

The guy wants to fight the best and you can't knock him for that really. Just like Froch, he's no hall of famer but he is only after fighting the best rather than trudging along and fighting bums all year long...... If Haye spent the next two years fighting and knocking out bums like the rest of the heavies then he would be critisesed for that too. No win really hey??

This is culminates in the very fact that Klit vs Haye is the most exciting fight out there for me. Whether anyone agrees or not is fine....
