In a Pro fight Haye would have won by KO RD1.

yea i'm not so sure about that because just by watching Solis last night he looked a lot more developed, and also he recovered pretty damn fast after that shot, and began boxing a lot better, while Haye would just throw wildly

I have only seen the one Solis fight yesterday but Haye would KO him if they were to fight today...Solis seems to have regressed and is way out of shape....

I agree he seems out of shape. Plus he would not have the referee to stop Haye finishing him after he took that flush shot in round 1 in the pro ranks.

It was interesting seeing them then and seeing them now. Thanks for the video man. Solis's hands have gotten much quicker, however Solis has become a zero risk fighter, Haye is the exact opposite a super high risk fighter. I think with Solis's tighter shell he should be able to go rounds with Haye, but unless he catches Haye with a perfect counter Haye wins a wide decision. Solis's workrate is absolutely horrible even by HW standards. Solis is definately not nearly as willing to trade as he used to be.

Arreola smashes them both

Solis' chin seems pretty good in the pros' its hard to say if Haye catches him, before Solis would catch him.

Haye would TKO Solis inside of 2 rounds.

Pros and Ams are two different worlds we've seen this many times before.

Sometimes yes and sometimes no.....Shane Mosley-Vernon Forrest I & II, they fought in the amateurs and Shane lost then too.

Just because guys like Tyson and Cotto can beat guys who beat them in the amateurs doesn't mean EVERYONE can.

Right.
But I would def. say that the majority of the time it's not the same.

Exactly. The aim of amateur boxing is to score points by landing the knuckle (white) part of the glove on the opponent and score points. Pro's on the other hand simply go out there to win whichever way they can and IMO the most effective way is to knock your opponent unconscious. Haye certainly has more ability to do that than Solis.
