How would David Haye vs Tyson Fury have turned out in 2013?

[Jacobson]

In 2013 Haye was coming off a 5th round KO win over Chisora and Fury was coming off a 7th round KO win over Cunningham.

Haye was 33 and Fury was 24.

How would the fight have gone in your opinion?

Would young Fury have been able to walk Haye down and break him? Or would Haye have caught Fury with something big and laid him out?

[M312]

Presuming Haye wasn't injured (which forced his 'retirement'). It's very hard to say. (If Haye was injured or on the way out, then obviously Fury wins).

Haye was the massive favourite at the time, Fury has obviously come on leaps and bounds since.

Its very likely to have been a very cagey affair tho, I imagine neither would've commited too much. Shame the fight didn't happen, but it probably depends on what Fury did. I wouldn't have been surprised to see it go similar to Wlad/Haye if Fury didn't commit. A bore points win for Fury. Or if Fury did overcommit, I can see him getting caught by a huge counter.

It would’ve been Fury’s coming out party as a quality fighter instead of 2 years later v Wlad.

Fury was still a very good fighter in 2013, and would’ve raised his game on his biggest night, like he always did and does.

It was only a year later in 2014 that he decided to fight Chisora as a southpaw and stopped him. Chisora is still competitive with top 10 fighters today. Fury took his 0 before 2013 and beat him again in 2014. So he showing he could beat decent fighters. He was also the only man to stop Cunningham who was a former Cruiserweight like Haye. He might’ve dropped Fury but we know now that it’s very hard to stop him.

Fury is a better fighter now for sure, but even in 2013 he was capable of beating Haye.

Asking this question in 2021, you won't find much support for Haye.

But in those days, Tyson Fury didn't have a lot of fans. The prevailing opinion was that he wasn't good enough to get a title shot, never mind actually win a title. There were at least 4 or 5 heavyweights who were supposed to knock him out, including David Price.

David Haye was supposed to annihilate him. And for those who think I'm exaggerating, I have proof:

I'm glad you posted that, because pathological liars would claim, "I always said Fury would beat him" as most of this site said otherwise

Yeah yeah..what big punchers had fury fought before deontay wilder? An already aged with no reflexes and cement feet wladimir ???

Wladimirs last good fight he had in him was david haye,fury just got him at the right time and even then it was hardly a miracle performance...wladimir looked shot to bits against jennings

Haye had power and he could box and counter punch from any angle with ease...haye 2013 would have been furys hardest fight he's ever had

Hayes not a one trick pony that started boxing at 25 then was gifted a belt by rolling over a bunch of cans

The fight just prior fury was badly dropped by the featherfisted cruiserweight Steve cunningham and haye was looking exceptional in sparring footage

Thanks for this. Denium is always claiming he knew Fury was going to be the best, now we know he's full of ****.

I like Tyson Fury, but Haye punches too hard for him. He's going to get knocked out.

Klitschko was supposed to annihilate him also and guess how that turned out?..... Haye kept cancelling the fight

[Scopedog]

I had tickets to this fight, I was mad as hell when it was cancelled.

Anyway, Fury wasn't anywhere near as good then as he is now, but I think Haye had already hit the wall even back then. Fury would most likely have beaten him decisively.

Lies again Robbie, I always said that Fury was a world class talent, but at the time I thought the Haye fight was too soon for him, Haye was still a beast at the time and Fury was nowhere near the complete fighter he is today.

I got completely sold on Fury after the second Chisora fight.
