David Haye vs Bernard Hopkins- Who do you think got this?

[.PrettyBoy32.]

Look at it like this, Bernard Hopkins is 45 years old,
Has never fought at Heavyweight before, Fighting a young quick strong boxer who has not lost in a number of years, With an extremely high Knockout Ratio coming off a great stoppage of Iron chinned John Ruiz.
Bhop is 6"1 where as the hayemaker is 6"3, not really a big difference.
I think if Bhop wants a world title at Heavyweight a fight with Haye is his best option,
Unlike the likes of Holyfield for example or any other heavyweights ever in the sport he doesn't throw his weight around,
Haye doesn't spend them throwing you around or leaning on you etc etc.
The weight issue wouldn't be as big an issue in this fight as it would be with the likes of the klitschko brothers......
Who has the better chin? Its obvious Hopkins has the better chin,
Haye has been put down by club fighters outside the heavyweight division and is well known to have a glass chin....
But I look at it this way,
David Haye is a legitimate heavyweight champion but he doesn't like fighting on the inside, which Hopkins is the master at doing,
When Bernard gets inside what will Haye do?
Cause I don't know? Haye has never really had to deal with anything like that.....
I think Bernard looked terrible lastnight against Roy Jones jr,
And this stage in Roys career he doesn't match David Hayes handspeed, doesn't match Hayes size or Power but I look at it like this,
Of the two guys Bhop is the technician and I think he can get inside on anybody......
Bhop won't stand there either and let David Haye land his overhand right either,
What you guys think?
Who would take it?

Haye has not really fought any good opponents yet tho

Haye by knock-out.

I think bernard is biting off more than he can chew. Bernard has never felt heavyweight power. I think it was George Foreman that said all heavyweights hit hard.

Yes but Bernard has never been Ko'd either way,
Haye has been Ko'd outside Heavyweight and has awful chin, its a fact

you dont become a undisputed cruiser champ and heavyweight champ by not fighting any "good opponents".

Haye was *stopped* outside of the heavyweight division. He was green when he suffered his first loss. He underestimated the guys chin and punched himself out. He has grown smarter since then though.

I am a big BHop fan but this would be suicidal. He looked poor yesterday. Haye is too big and strong, fast fisted. Technically Bhop's countering style is a good match against Haye, but age has diminished BHop.

Haye by TKO.

You can't fix a bad chin mate
