David Haye vs. Alexander Povetkin

[TheBoxingXpert]

Who is the better fighter between these 2 fighters?

[Daddy T]

It would be a fantastic fight. I think haye's speed would be the difference.

[Sun_Tzu]

Hard to say. I havent seen haye in against anyone close to world class in like 4 years.

I would rate Povetkin higher on paper ,but if they fought I would give Haye the win after seeing him again. He looks strong and is the harder guy to land a clean shot on. He also has more ability to go to any angle and throw punches.His reach could give povetkin trouble and pepper him from the outside,i could see povertkin unravel with frustaration in this one.

Haye's size is huge, I think he'd gas out unless he was very very smart in his energy output.

I believe Haye is aware of this and that's why he's slowing coming back against bums and now will go against Briggs who will push him to the next level, and after Briggs he'll probably be looking for a decent challenge, but I would expect more of a B level fighter as opposed to somebody like Povetkin. Haye is all business so Povetkin would also be high risk low reward.

Haye

Povetkin is sort, fat (when not on his peds) plodding and doesn't have a good chin

Haye vs Parker would be a great fight!

I think his chin is just fine, getting knocked down by Wlad and getting up to finish the fight doesnt equate to a bad chin. Haye might get him but his chin is fine. You may be right on the other points.

to be honest he went down off almost anything half clean from wlad, and i haven't seen him in with any other big punchers so...
