David Haye vs. prime Muhammed Ali: who would win?

[The Hammer]

If the current prime David Haye fought prime Muhammed Ali, who would win?

They are about the same size, similar height and body proportions.

Ali is to awkward and won't fall down when being told to like Haye's other opponents

David Haye wins.

The Clay is one of the most featherfisted champs ("like a butterfly") of all time (bottom-4 of all heavyweight champs to date), while Haye is one of the most heavy hitters.

And that already includes

• all contested/doubtful KOs (Bonavena, Sonny Liston, Williams, etc...)
• all overlate KOs (13+ rounds)

thus The Clay might very well be the MOST FEATHERFISTED famous fighter of all time.

The Clay is utterly worthless when it comes to KO power.

And his chin is overrated. My god, The Clay was even knocked down by featherfisted Joe Frazier (bottom-8 of all champs).

Moreover Haye is faster and The Clay is one of the easiest boxers to hit (due to absent reflexes).

Aside of WKO for Haye there is another possibility: Haye wins by DQ because The Clay is one of the dirtiest fighters of all time ("Dirty Clay"). What was allowed back then wouldn't be allowed now, thus DQ is a likely possivbility.

They did not have the same body proportions.

Ali actually had some balls

The trashtalk BEFORE the fight would be interesting. I wonder whether The greatest Clay would make his typical racist remarks because David Haye is 50% black, i.e. his parents are black and white and as you know The Clay wanted to punish such racial mixes by the death penalty.
