Hopkins/Haye - who wins?

[z0jo]

When has Hopkisn get hit flush. Factor in that Haye throws haymakers from a mile away. It also took 12 round of accumulation for him to hurt Valuev, who has been wobbled by Monte Barett when Valuev was peak.

dont forget haye broke his hand in that fight

dont forget this is hopkins mate.... same guy who had a close fight with calzaghe..... same guy who beat the piss out of pavlik.... i think it would be a tough fight for haye... but i would put my money on a haye ud....

also the same hopkins who loses against equally sized, equally talented fighters...he needs to be getting at dawson after jones...can't see how nobody can see that he's setting up the duck move...

Hopkins gets hit flush just like every other fighter. Sure, he gets hit flush LESS OFTEN, but the fact remains.

And sure, Haye likes to throw haymakers. But he's also a smart fighter with an extremely underrated trainer. Against Hopkins he'd fight intelligently.

For all I like BHOP, I think Haye is just a weight division too far.

I agree with you.

Hopkins is great, but Haye kills him. Particularly at this point.

why hopkins wait till the end of his career to talk about fighting bigger men...its a sham really

Hop ko's Haye with a straight right, headbutt combo.

[P4P Opinion]

Haye stops Hopkins at heavyweight. He is far too big a puncher and far too fast for his size. Hopkins would lose speed moving up as well and couldn't hope to back Haye up. Eventually something would land flush and it would be lights out. Not a good fight for Hopkins. He talks about Roy Jones beating Ruiz, but Ruiz is an entirely different style to Haye. Ruiz has never been quick, mobile or a big hitter, so Jones always had a chance.

It would be a brilliant achievement, but I just can't see it happening.

lol...lately he's been setting up the punch with a headbutt

[Kris Silver]

Hopkins goes on about this at times, but has Haye ever said anything other than Ruiz then a Klit brother? So I don't know why Nard is so convinced he'll get the shot, if he is convinced that is.

I reckon he'd win a lot of early rounds but by not being able to hold his ground and back his man up like he's used to, he'd really dwindle at the end with the pressure. I could see a late TKO. He's deluded, and Ruiz is not the same size as Haye really, depending on his fight weight he's generally at least a stone heavier than Haye.
