David Haye a Definite Threat to Wladimir Klitschko

Look out, Wladimir Klitschko. There's a new guy to watch in the heavyweight division, and it's cruiserweight champ David Haye.

He's been talking about it for a while now, calling out heavyweight contenders, saying they're all bums, etc. But I feel the "Hayemaker" is more than just talk.

He's proved he's the best of the cruiserweights. He's got power, speed, and I don't think the gain in weight from cruiser to heavy will have too much of an effect on him.

But the question here is can he beat Wladimir Klitschko, the man widely known as the best heavyweight in the world? Can he expose Wladimir's main weakness, his criticized chin, or is Klitschko simply too smart a fighter for him?

I think he's got the potential. He's got a lot of self-confidence which goes a long way in this sport. Plus, Klitschko seems to be underestimating him which is a huge mistake.

This is a fight I'm looking forward to seeing. After one or two fights in the heavyweight division I think Klitschko should definitely give Haye a shot at the title. I'm thinking this fight is going to happen in late 2009 if neither fighter looses by then.

"Dr. Steele-Hammer vs. the Hayemaker." Has a nice sound to it.
