By Neil Linners: Like him or loathe him, David Haye has got your attention. His brash and in your face attitude combined with a monstrous knock out percentage to back it up has left many boxing fans squarely divided.

In recent months, on this site alone, we have seen an untold amount of articles scribed to tell us all about David Haye. A contingent claim he is weak, chinny and overrated, shortly to be exposed. Many others however feel that in fact Haye is fast and powerful, with excellent ring craft and a sickening straight right hand that carries enough pop to knock out King Kong. I have lost count as to how many postings have centered on David Haye, and frankly that is my point.

Whether you want to watch his bouts purely in the hope that he gets his head knocked off, or because you feel, like many that he is the only fighter in the world capable and more importantly willing to try and unify the heavyweight division, it’s all the same. His fights, as proven by the buzz on this website, generate massive interest on a global scale.

His slick style combined with a quick wit and dynamite in his fists have earned him the right to bathe in the limelight. Like Nazeem Hamed before him, Haye is an exciting fighter to watch, who at times can leave himself dangerously exposed to a counter punch. So many fans yearned for Hamed’s comeuppance and were finally rewarded when he faced a prime Marco Antonio Barrera. Lets not however forget that Naz, had faced all comers up to that point.

Haye, in much the same vein unified his natural weight class, before moving up to heavyweight to shake things up. The only time anyone writes about the Klitschko’s is when they are talking about Haye fighting them.

Before Haye stepped up to heavyweight, no one talked about the heavyweight scene. Haye has already saved the heavyweight division. He already has you talking, and thinking about fights and outcomes.

My only hope is that he can beat the brothers and unify the division. That however is a tall order, and given their calibre, sheer size and athleticism, perhaps beating both is a step too far?

That said, I will tune in. Not in the hope Haye loses, but in he hope and belief that he will put on another nail biting and exciting show, and keep the heavyweights in the frame.
