would you expect him to rule the heavyweight division, noone would have a real height and strength advantage over him so with his skills would you expect him to rule the division like lewis did?

No i think his main issue would still be his dodgy chin. although lewis did get found out a couple of times maybe if he was smaller he would have been caught out a lot more times than that. but definately being bigger would be a massive advantage for thy hayemaker as i people you say it now.

cant understand why people say haye has a bad chin, its not that bad, sure mormeck floored him but mormeck was a great fight, haye got up and knocked him out, yet joe clazaghe has been floored in the first round in both his last fights but hes considered to have a great chin, i really dont think hayes chin will be a problem

when haye has been floored he's been on jelly legs though, granted he's found a way to comeback most of the time, which is to his credit. calzaghe has never been in that state.

If he was as big as Lewis he wouldn't be as quick, its an impossibility. Which would make him very vulnerable defensively, even more so.

It's a big if and largely irrelevent. If my Aunt had balls she'd be my Uncle. having said that I think Haye will dominate as he is. If he was 6'5" and 17 1/2 st he wouldn't be the explosive fast twitch athlete we know him as.

When Calzaghe gets knocked down he recovers instantly. His powers of recovery are amazing.

Haye has been knocked down by a super middle weight in the past and every time he's been knocked down he looks like a drunk man and a younger Mormeck would have finished him.

I definitely think Haye's chin will be a factor and his downfall in the Heavyweight division.

Yes, and if he was the size of Godzilla he'd be even better.

Lennox was a legend - I grew up watching him - and he was the real deal

Best British Boxer I have ever seen - even rate him over Naz and Calzaghe

He's been knocked down and on wobbly legs on at least 2 or 3 occasions and one of them being a blown up super-middle if I remember rightly.

Unfortunately if he was the same size he'd be slower, less co-ordinated etc Hayes ability and skill is what is expected to get him there. Haye has the same height and reach (roughly) as Ali, Foreman, Norton, Holmes etc I see no problem, if he really is the real deal.
