David Haye at his peak or even just after 'Had better movement, slightly more hand speed, greater punching power, and I also think he was physically stronger than Usyk' Haye fought Chisora head on, and he was not rag-dolled or forced to change his tactics 'Haye carried on with those tactics and knocked Chisora out' Haye clearly stood up or was not as phased with Chisora's strength to the same degree as Uysk was etc
Haye was quite a good boxer also, he had to execute near perfect boxing tactics and discipline to defeat Nikolai Valuev.
Even when Haye fought Kiltschko 'A peak Kiltschko had a extremely difficult time landing on him, those where the positives of that fight from a technical perspective' If Haye came to a cognitive decision, that he does not want to get hit 'He could avoid most heavyweights offense'.
Haye was clearly the better heavyweight for me 'There will be people now trying to make out that Uysk has greater boxing skills 'But Does he really?'. Usyk gets hit more often than David Haye, and unlike Haye 'Uysk is trying to fight the exactly the same way he did as a Cruiser weight at Heavyweight.
David Haye became a ambush fighter at heavyweight, tactically.
Usyk's "better skills" are just that pivot he does and slightly more clean looking combo punches. It looks nice but when you are eating shots off Bellew and Chisora and can't really defend effectively against them that's not skill.
Compare Usyk vs Bellew and Chisora to Haye vs Ruiz and Chisora
