    Lewis - Lewis takes UD, if he boxes as against Tua. A chance of an upset if Lennox turn too confident or aggressive.
    Mcall - Haye takes wide UD, although it's possible Mcall expose Haye's questionable stamina.
    Ike - IDK.
    Morrison - Haye TKO/KO him.
    Mercer - Haye by UD.
    Tua - KO/TKO for someone.
    Moore - Haye KOs him.
    Old George - Haye takes UD.
    Bowe - prime Bowe TKOs him, other version Haye wins.
    No. Please, no!

    Haye wouldn't be competitive in most of those. Given his present HW run, he'd probably have ducked all of them. But, if you're being serious, here's what would happen, IMO.

    Golota KOs Haye
    McCall KOs Haye
    Bowe KOs Haye
    Holyfield KOs Haye
    Lewis KOs Haye
    Ike KOs Haye
    Mercer KOs Haye
    Morrison KOs Haye
    Old George decapitates Haye
    Tua hospitalizes Haye

      Now, if it was Wladimir, that's a different question entirely. Haye is not elite; Wladimir is.

        Hehe. I know how you feel about haye

        He is annoying but I really think his boxing skills are something real. You don't find that fast and powerful HW very often.

        I can't really see that much slower fighter with non-iron chin would be a favorite. Haye can always keep himself from the outside and to prevent him to land a few times is quite a task.

        That's why I can't favor Golota, Mercer, Morrison or old george over him.

        Lennox of course clearly beats him as well as prime tyson and holyfield. I haven't seen enough from Ike but Ike might have been a favorite against any HW just because he wasn't exposed. Tua is toss up IMO. I think haye would be successful dodging his attacks.

        That's why I wouldn't be sure this slower version of Vitali would be capable of beating Haye even with his granite chin.

          Yet all you have done for the last 3 posts is bleat on about be calling you an idiot.
          I give up. It's just pointless - you can't get the point.

          Feel free to call me whatever you want.

            But you predict all those fighters to do what Wlad couldn't.

              Sure. They're not as conservative as Wlad.

              Also depends if Haye comes to fight, or survive.

                I think he'd give a lot of guys early problems because he's so different to the heavyweights of the time, but ultimately he'd fall short of the very top level because he'd be a very good 210lb fighter in an era of very good bigger guys.

                  He'd give some guys problems no doubt, but he would take a fair bit of losses because there's a major difference between talent in the 90s and talent today. People tend to forget that the 90s might have been one of the deepest talent pools in terms of the HW division. Guys like Mercer, McCall, Tua, Briggs etc all had the size, but more importantly the skill and the will as well. That's what we lack in the division today.

                  He could perhaps creep into the top 10 on occassion, but even that is doubtful.

                  Btw, I know Tua wasn't the biggest guy.
