    I hope my boy Haye doesn't face Tua in the HW division...Haye wants to retire in 2 years so if he beats Ruiz he should face Wladimir, Adamek, Povetkin, etc.

    Styles make fights...and I think he could beat these three and hurt them.

    I doubt he hurts Tua...Tua's weakness is the jab as we saw in the Ike, Lewis and Byrd fights, Haye has power and speed, but not a good jab.
    that's what i don't get. a 40 yr. old , past prime , out of shape , undertrained lennox tko's the best klit brother in his prime......yet the klit fans still want to talk crap. silly people.


    haye needs to stay away from tua.

    he can beat tua up for 12 rounds but if tua gets one lucky punch in......

      Wlad has a good jab too and could beat Tua with it, but the reason I think Tua could test him and possibly hurt him because Tua is more offensive minded than Brewster or Samuel Peter, YES I know those were the fights in the past, but if you notice Wlad's last few opponents have been small heavyweights with not too great knockout percentage.

      I mean Chambers, Brock, Ibragimov, Chagaev, Thompson...these guys box rather than brawl, and its hard to outbox Wlad, but you can hurt him. Can you imagine one of Tua's left hooks with full force landing on Wlad? That would hurt more than Chambers, Brock, Ibragimov, Chagaev or Thompsons best punches.

      Lewis atleast faced his fair share of punchers to test him like Klitschko, Tyson, Briggs, Tua, etc.

      At some point Haye will have to take punches from Tua. And not because Haye has a weak chin, thats a myth (Weight issues/drained at CW = weak stamina) more because Tua is one of the hardest punchers at HW and unless your a skilled defensive fighter or someone with a good jab you cannot beat Tua. A skilled offensive fighter will trade at some point and that will be the mistake against Tua, you CANNOT trade with this guy, Haye can box, but he likes trading...not a good sign.

          Lewis had a good jab too, he dominated David Tua with it.

          With all due respects it's not difficult to control a very slow 5'10" barrel-on-legs, who,after the first half of the first round, just plods slowly forward until his face meets his opponent's fist.

          Especially if you are 6'5" with long arms.

          Liston's jab and Wladimir Klitschko's seem equally powerful and punishing. Liston's more "pushing" and battering ram style. Klitschko's, however, is much faster, and snappier, causing more accumulative damage.

          Holmes comes next, then Lewis, then, last of all, Ali, who's jab was comparatively harmless, although fast, not thrown with any power, and not particularly accurate.

            It could have been interesting if you'd included both Klitschkos in the poll.
