How do you think Haye would do v Mason?
I think Gary Mason is the tougher of the two, so i'd pick him. But David Haye is more skillful, its a toss up.Quote:

Razor Ruddock
Mike Tyson
Riddick Bowe
Evander Holyfield
George Foreman
Ray Mercer
Tommy Morrison
Michael Moorer
Lennox Lewis
ETC.
And barring Tommy Morrison, i don't think David Haye would beat any of those fighters.
cheers skel
tried to watch the fight on youtube the other night, they had it but the audio was all out of sync
allegedly lennox lewis never had a decent jab until manny steward came along :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
He took a lot there and a lesser heavy would've crumbled at his last rally there
Lewis was with Davenport then and was doing well. Manny certainly improved Lennox but it was from Pepe who ruined the good work Davenport did with Lewis.Quote:

Briggs and Haye are about as even as it gets.
