Mr. David "the Hayemaker" Haye would of

At his absolute peak (which he should still be in right now), Haye was never as good as Povetkin.

Haye would gas against both guys and likely find himself flattened on the canvas.

Totally agreed, Povetkin is world class.
I don't see Haye outboxing or KOing Alexander.

I reckon that all these Russian, Bulgarian and American boxing 'fans' dislike Haye because they know that he would brutally embarrass all their HWs on the same night. Pulev, Povotkin, etc. and all their blind fans are probably praying that Haye stays retired and doesn't expose their heroes.

Speak of the devil :

Wlad vs. Haye was a cometitive fight with Haye never being in trouble and rocking Wlad in the 12th. The scores were 117–109, 117–111 and 116–110.

Older, past prime Wlad vs. Povotkin was a complete whitewash with Povotkin going down more often than my girlfriend. The scores were 119-104, 119-104 and 119-104.

You were saying?

If Povetkin and Haye's entire HW careers consisted of their fights with Wlad, then Haye would have the slight edge, but alas they do not.

Very few people who do not read British tabloids considered the victories over retirees Ruiz and Harrison to be amazing feats. Povetkin has a couple opportunistic geezer wins (like Rahman) but he has consistently faced fit young HWs in eliminators and beaten all of them while Haye has stalled and whined.

He WOULD be the champion if Wlad wasn't around. His size would leave him vulnerable to all the giants coming up in the division, but he would be the top guy, not Haye.

Easy way to settle this though... Tell Haye to stop retiring every week and fight Povetkin. Alexander would sign it in a day.

Haha utterly ridiculous isn't it? That's the injury that rendered him totally useless.

Forget the "Injured Toe" - Haye's feet as a whole look weird as fuck.

WTF is happening between his big toe and the next?
