    Cruiserweight title Prime Holyfield v Prime Haye

    After the weekends debacle I prefer to think of these two at their best instead of the versions we saw Saturday night....
    So Holyfield v Haye for the Cruiserweight title.

    Haye could really **** at 190lbs but Holyfield is just about as tough as anyone to ever get in the ring. I see a couple of rounds being very entertaining but Evander to ride out the storm and score a ko in 6. Thoughts?

    - -Haye much bigger and more credentials when he turned pro. His cruiser titles were at 200lb, and even before that he was KOing 230lb Euro behemoths.

    So you're promoting a size mismatch. He didn't need vitamins to break 200 either.

    Match'em at hvy and you've got a decent fight.

      We saw on Saturday that Haye is better than Evan Fields. Nash out.

        Someone else with boxing understanding and knowledge can come in here and explain why Haye was not fit to hold the Bastard Maker's jock strap...

          Holyfield was much better in most departments. Haye might rock him early but Holyfield wins this by TKO in about 8 rounds.

            Holyfield has a much heavier jockstrap to wheel about. He may have Haye out-shaded as well. Holy would make the limey negro quit outright. Just because we now know Holy never was as good as Belfort does not mean he could not mop the floor with a born mop like Haye.

                You do know that Holyfield was stopped in 1 by Belfort?

                    The only logical conclusion to take away from last week's fighs is that . . .

                    Youtubers are at the top of combat sport, followed closely by the MMA, with boxing coming in a sad third place.

                    It is a brave new world.

                    1. Paul
                    2. Belfort
                    3. Ali

                    No other way to call it.
