Haye vs. Arreola ?

[Dave Hughey]

What I mean is, Haye is young and inexperienced. He's shown a pretty defence against the bigger fighters. If he could learn how to slip a jab and then throw something back, and learn how to throw "punches in bunches" he might become quite formidable.

I think he's got the heart to do it, myself. I don't think he was scared of Wlad. He just saw the writing on the wall early in the fight.

So, when you think a boxer (top 3 or 4 in his division) beats easily someone who does everything starting from the boxing stance WRONG and is in no way top 10 in that division, your considered a fanboy of that boxer.

Not if he actually did it. The problem with fanboys is, your adoration for your boyfriend and wishful thinking, blinds you to their flaws. I don't for example see Haye as being a better fighter than Arreola, because so far he hasn't proved it, and furthermore, he's yet to prove that he's an elite level HW.

I dont think he's "done" but he really doesn't get a pass on inexperience being a factor. He's a 9yr professional with 4 'major' championships and certainly talked like he had already been to the mount and belonged. I'm not sure he can pocket his shtick and ego long enough to make serious adjustments.
