      I haven't seen much of Boytsov, but I hear he has potential.

        Haye hits harder and is a better finisher. Eddie is superior in EVERY other way.

          Er you forgot Haye has superior handspeed, I think Haye would KO chambers, who was anhialated by povetkin and is fat and small

              This is correct.

                I wouldn't call what Povetkin did Chambers an annihilation. What Pacquiao did to Hatton was.

                Chambers weighed 208 for Dimitrenko, and while he probably could've lost a few more pounds, he was still quick for the division. Plus, at 6'1 he'd only be giving up two or three inches to Haye, and Chambers is accustomed to fighting much larger opponents.

                  Annihilated by Povetkin? What are you smoking? Eddie was beating him badly till he ran out of steam, after which he was just outworked, though he still blocked most of it. If you haven't noticed, he's in much better shape now and fights 12 full rounds.

                  There isn't a noticeable difference in handspeed either way. Difference being Eddie's defense, counter punching, and accuracy are far superior.

                    These men would KO Haye, despite the Gayemaker's height and reach advantages:

                      I haven't seen much of Boytsov, but I hear good things. Could you recommend any fights that would be good to download?
