At the time I said Haye would have wasted Fury.
I also said the only reason Fury was still relevant as a HW top contender was because he was lucky Haye pulled out.
The evidence at the time certainly overwhelmingly pointed that way.
OF course things changed.
OBviously the 40 year old Wladimir beat was way off game, 18 landed power shots all fight long. Is he shot? Did he just have a bad night?
Whatever the reason for Wlad's dismal performance, the fact remains that Fury was much better than both detractors and skeptics gave him credit for.
If not for the quality of Fury, he would not have been able to capitalise on Wladimir regardless!
So what if he had Haye? Fury appears to be much better at utilising his range and girth than given credit for. He is fast and mobile for his weight, accurate and well timed with the jab.
At a mere 6'3" and 215lbs, Haye, although possibly the fastest and most agile HW of all time and backed by crunching power to boot, the bridge that that speed had to pass would have been massive given Fury's now displayed qualities.
It would not be so easy for Haye to have got in and out on Fury as formerly predicted.
So what would have occurred?
Thoughts?
Does Haye waste the giant or does Fury do a number on an unsuspecting Haye as well?
