Haye by KO

For some reason, Herbie has been the distance in 4 of his last 5 fights.

How does a guy go from knocking out guys who weigh 250lbs to being unable to get CWs out of there? I know he's getting on a bit, but usually the older guys keep their power even when they've declined in every other aspect.

I heard that he was being trained by one of the Mayweather family, so maybe they've just changed his style or something.

Anyway...Haye by KO.

I see a lot of similarities in them now that you mention it. Both are chinny, good power, good ring movement, defense is sketchy if they have to stand and block punches. Probably now you have to go with Haye but if its a prime Hide I think Hide knocks Haye out.

If Hide got caught it's game over. I don't think Haye's chin is really as bad as it's made out to be. Hide however does have a poor chin.

Hide is getting older, he's still good but definitely well past his best.

If he were the same as ten years ago, he'd beat Haye, but not now.

I've watched Hide a number of times recently. He's done. The guy has abandoned any semblance of boxing craft in favour of bludgeoning his opponent to pieces - agricultural fashion. In fact, he wouldn't be out of place in MMA.

Despite his run of fights going to the cards, he still possesses the equalizer. But that's all he's got.

Haye by plenty.
