Roy Jones vs David Haye at cruiserweight????

Haye by KO.

Roy wins a wide UD, assuming Haye never touches him. But Roy cannot tale anything on the chin, needless to say

wow how come so mnay people chose Haye? Jones late KO or a wide UD with lopsided compubox numbers

I orginally picked Haye by KO...but that was before I watched Haye get knocked out by 41 year light heavyweight Thompson and dropped twice and hurt badly by super middleweight bum Mock. Prime Roy would KO Haye You shouldnt have even had to watch that fight to know... Jones Ko brutal

I'm surprised so many picked Haye. No way Jones could KO Haye if he couldn't KO Ruiz. Haye is a lot more dangerous and Jones would be a lot more cautious. I see Jones easily winning a decision, the Jones that fought Ruiz that is. Haye has the power and speed to K.O. that Jones, so who really knows. It would be an interesting match up, but I would still go with Jones. Ruiz has a good chin Hypejob Haye on the other hand has a glass chin and can't even take a punch from super middleweight bums Prime Roy definitely had the power to KO Haye

I picked Jones by KO before.. I stick to it.

Haye by KO.

jones by ud only cause roy stopped gunning for the knockout in like 98 or something like that. from then on he would carry opponents, a la richard frazier, david talesco, tito trinidad, etc....

LOL, were talking PRIME ROY HERE! unbeleivable handspeed would completely overwhelm Haye |Roy of today far enough Haye TKO but not back then, not even close. Roy takes it comfortably. Prime Roy NEVER got hit flush, and he fought guys faster than Haye

That is what i was thinking as well. Jones would have to avoid power punches from a fast( unlike John Ruiz) power puncher with good skills to boot. I use to think that Jones would win( as seen in the beginining of this thread) but Haye is simply too big and too much. Jones doesn't have anything to back him off.

This is a mismatch, Haye is not an unskilled fighter and would land enough on Jones to get the job done. With his power just about anything landing on Jones' chin would annihilate him. Haye by KO in the middle to late rounds. However if somehow Jones miraculously avoids all power shots (unlikely), Jones UD.

i think Jones would beat the crap out of Haye TBH I personally believe that Haye would be too big for him. He is 6'4 and was really always a heavyweight that had been pulling himself down to make cruiserweight. Not only that but he is also very elusive and has the ability to get to Jones. His power would be devestating where as Jones's wouldn't to Haye.

I'm starting to think that Haye might be a bit too big now after really revisiting him. That plus the fact that John Ruiz was really the only big man that Jones has fought at a higher weight so we really can't take tou much off of that considering Ruiz is horrible. Haye is too strong and Jones's punch will not be able to hurt him. Haye also has enough skills to get to Jones.

fair enough, Hopkirk; but a younger Roy could fight a bigger puncher without getting hurt

Ruiz was always much better than Haye has ever been. He's proven at HW, that's all but doesn't have as much pop as Haye. Haye's power shots would tear right right through Roy's high guard. Mr Jones would then go to sleep for a few minutes.

Ruiz was always much better than Haye has ever been. Ruiz is not on Hayes level imo

What's the difference? Ruiz was always a pathetic excuse of a 'world' champion. A 200lb Haye makes mince meat out of Jones. Roy's just too small to stand up to a huge puncher at that weight. Ruiz was always much better than Haye has ever been.
