More impressive 5th round heavyweight KO by a former cruiserweight... Haye vs Chisora or Usyk vs Dubois?

[FlatLine]

4 years after the move up to heavyweight, former cruiserweight champ David Haye was the first guy to KO Derek Chisora - and in brutal fashion. In round 5 he caught him with a counterpunch off the ropes which dropped Chisora like a sack of potatoes. Chisora had previously fought both Vitali Klitschko and Tyson Fury who both went the distance. To this day, Chisora is still seen as one of the toughest guys. Usyk himself was unable to stop Chisora when they fought. At the time Chisora fought Haye he was trained by Don Charles.

Fast forward 13 years and another Don Charles fighter, Daniel Dubois, gets stopped by another former cruiserweight Usyk in exactly 5 rounds again, with a brilliant counterpunch KO. The difference - Dubois had been stopped twice before, by Joyce and by Usyk himself. Chisora on the other hand, was seen as almost unstoppable at the time Haye beat him.

So which former cruiserweight really had the MORE IMPRESSIVE KO - David Haye or Oleksandr Usyk?

Equally impressive and in reference to Haye disappointing as he never really aimed to be a great fighter just make money and get out asap which he did. He had the talent to be more but is just too lazy, he said he doesn't do road work because he is sleeping.

Dubois is better than Chisora was and still is. But the question is about KO so it's Haye. Was great seeing Chisora KOd couldn't stand him back then or now.

Chisora had an iron chin at that stage just went 12 with Vitali, don't think he'd ever been down.

Dubois down x3 against light hitting larenas before larenas took a dive

But people like Usyk more so he will win the poll.
