Maybe Haye wasnt elite HW (he wasnt) but he was good enough to beat Bellew even when he was shot ,even shot ,injured Haye was giving him competetive fight ,Wilder is bigger and he didnt have many injures through out his careere like Haye
If Wilder break his leg in 1 then its another story
In a situation like analyzing Haye against another fighter, at heavyweight particularly, the important thing is if a fighter is vulnerable, or not. When haye becomes invincible its wrong... Haye never fought enough times, showed enough skills, to be thought of the way others were portraying him for this fight. He was indeed a better cruiser...
To understand this look at precident: People made the same miscalculation when Max bauer fought braddock for the heavyweight title in the 1930's. braddock, the cindarella man, had arthritis, was getting older BUT, he had learned to use his left as a strevedore on the docks, and while arthritis sucks (take it from me!) it does not mean one cannot fight through it for a fight when the adrenaline is pumping... and Braddock, though a bit older, was not so old for a heavyweight. Actually Braddock had experience and momentum!
Meanwhile the devistating Max bauer, was mecurial: he could be really inconsistant and a goof, he took Braddock lightly, and hardly trained. And if this was not enough? Bauer had a gorgeous physique, shoulders as wide as a Canadian football field, narrow waist, and was strong as an oxe! braddock was a pug, built somewhat like...you guessed it, Bellew.
Certainly Wilder is a talented puncher, but he is hardly invulnerable. Is a guy like Stiverne, for example, that much better than Bellew? What happens when Wilder starts getting wild? What defensive skills does Wilder have? How will he deal with an opponent that is more mobile? Not saying its a match, but I will ask the same thing I asked regarding this fight: What makes Wilder such a juggernaught? Who has he bested?Comment

Tony Bellew humbled his bitter British rival David Haye with a shock 11th round win in a non-title heavyweight fight at the O2 in London on Saturday. Former WBA world heavyweight champion Haye suffered a suspected snapped Achilles tendon in the sixth round, leaving him an easy target as he stumbled and limped around the ring for second half of the fight.
