A lot of people repeat the line that Haye is just a blown up cruiser. He's not, he's a natural heavy who has fought in an era when super-heavies rule the roost.

Whether he'll be effective after his layoff and injury problems remains to be seen, however.

As far as I know it was the other way around, he struggled to become a heavyweight in the first place and once he was he was very tactionally selecting his opponends and let's get real, what has Chisora for example achieved in his boxing carreer? Have you seen what he looks like today?
Barrett? Has he actually won ever since? Oh yea, one match against a 39 year old who hasn't won ever since either.

Great business in other words?

Chisora was rated at the time (took Vitali the distance, was robbed against Helenius) and was never the same after Haye finished with him. And don't forget Haye did win the WBA title against a guy who was 7ft 2 tall and his only defeat was against Wladimir Klitschko.

Btw, every boxer's manager chooses bouts tactically.

That said, I'd like to see him in with Wilder. I have a feeling that he'll break down in training and it'll be 'doctors have advised me to retire' again.
