    Alexander Povetkin vs. David Haye

    Who do you think would win?

    With Povetkin's 75 punches per round and aggressive, come-forward style and with Haye's explosive style and offensive power, this one would have lots of fireworks!

    To those crybabies who are always whining about how bad the heavyweight division is, I say this is one of the most exciting, entertaining matchups possible in boxing!

    Yeah that would be a good matchup. A good plus possible exciting fight for the HW division. A fight Povetkin should take before he fights Wlad, but would be willing to take that kind of risk.

      I think that the accumulation of punches by Povetkin would eventually break down Haye's chin. Povetkin wins by TKO.

        You'd do better to poll a question like this when people are not still cum-drunk off of Hayes performance last night.

          Yeah with the way Haye keeps his hands low, I wonder how he will be able to handle the power of some HW's.

            Yes, some people are on a "Haye high" after the fight last night.

                Haye also doesn't have 1/10 of the defence that Chambers has. If David were to win, it would have to be by knockout, since he doesn't throw that many punches, especially late in fights. I just don't see it, Povetkin by UD, possible late round TKO.

                  Povetkin has faced much tougher competition, but his defense is still porous and Haye is a bad matchup for him. Povetkin just blotzed two very light punchers.

                  Both are beatable.

                    Let Haye have at least one fight at HW before asking this question.
