[hugh grant]

Haye within 5 rounds.

Your absoloutley have to go with Haye, the thing is I do think heavyweights like Chisora and Whyte could possibly beat Haye if they applied constant pressure behind a tight guard, only letting one or two punches go, before attacking late and testing Hayes stamina.

Thing is though at some point whyte couldn't resist throwing some sloppy wide ass shots from miles out of position and you know at that point Haye is just going to crack him on the counter with a lightning fast brutal counter and Whyte will be on his back looking up at the lights. It'd be bound to happen.

Better question... Prime Haye vs Prime Povetkin?

Haye is too fast and elusive for Povetkin. Povetkin was "quick" for heavyweight and usually had a handspeed advantage but he'd be just way too slow for a prime Haye who wouldn't stand still and let Povetkin use intelligent combinations.

[Hooded Terror]

I remember all the big talk back in 2008-2010 from Haye about facing a top heavyweight. Then the on/off Klitschko stuff. Then the toe. Frankly, I think Haye was a complete disappointment. He jerked off a lot but produced little. Then the Fury disappointment. His best win was after everybody figured him done, against Chisora. No, if prime Haye were around today there'd be no Whyte match and no Povetkin match. They'd dust off Carlos Takam or maybe, just maybe Bryant Jennings. Povetkin? Not a chance. Prime Haye would almost certainly avoid Povetkin, today's Povetkin, given his non-event career history. Hell, Povetkin has a FAR BETTER resume, NOT the type Haye ever chased at heavy.

Big call considering that Haye never really did much at HW....

I stand by it, he had the beating of them all until he lost his reflexes... apart from the two Ukrainians who were too big and too good.

I’ve been a huge fan of Haye since he lost to Carl Thompson early on, he took a good beating in the 2nd half of that fight and carried on, wasn’t all flashy skills, he had a bit grit to him too.

John Ruiz, Valuev and Chisora are good wins.
