David Haye vs. Evander Holyfield in 2011: who will win?

[The Hammer]

A fight with Hopkins is more likely.

Hopkins has said he wants Haye and if he gets past Pascal considering, Haye is represented by golden boy in America I can see that fight getting made.

If Hopkins defeats Pascal, he'll try to make the fight with Haye.

But would the cowardly Haye be willing to fight an old but difficult opponent like B-Hop?

Or will Haye opt for a shot fighter he knows he can beat, like Roy Jones?

silly thread

As I see it Harrison is a warm up fight for Haye, and a chance to coin in on an all British affair.

Without doubt he should have opted for a better oponent, but if it's a mere case of avoiding rust I can live with it. I will lose patience as a fan with Haye though if he fails to take on a better quality of oponent next time out.

Hopefully with the timing of Wlad vs Chisora, the two will finally face off early Spring 2011

Funnily enough, I wouldn't be surprised if Evander beat him.


I don't like Holyfield much, but he's all man...and it wouldn't be a shock to me if even this ancient version proved too much man for Haye.

I wish they would not have robbed Holyfield against Valuev,because Tunney is probably right David Haye will give him another fight,and send him even closer to the Parkinson's hell he is facing.

It really shouldn't happen there are so much better heavyweights out there than Holyfield.

[Davros?]

I wish Holyfield would retire, Holyfield was a great fighter but he is just way to gone to beat Haye. If Haye doesnt fight Wlad or Vitali next year he should retire as well.

Audley Harrison turned 39 on Tuesday Oct 26.

Haye prefers to fight old men.

I think David Haye will give a title shot to Evander Holyfield after he defeats Audley Harrison, probably some time in mid-to-late 2011 (he'll use the hepatitis B issue like Valuev did to duck his mandatory Chagaev).

Holyfield looked okay against Valuev, but that was a couple of years ago now.

Who will win this if it happens in 2011?

Its not going to happen to its a waste of a poll.

[BostonGuy]

Perhaps it's wishful thinking on my part...

How wonderful it would be to see Holyfield floor Haye, and the ref count him out!

I'm hoping Audley will be the guy that kos Haye.

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

Its not going to happen to its a waste of a poll.

People said the same thing about Haye-Harrison.


Yet, a few months later, here we are.
