"Mediocre" heavies who could SMOKE David Haye

[brocktonblockbust]

Sad state of affairs these days when a Michael Spinks, an Ike Ibeabuchi, a Ken Norton, an Oliver McCall, a Gerry Cooney, a Buster Douglas would literally SMOKE David Haye. Guys like Jerry Quarry, Earnie Shavers, Jimmy Ellis, Mike Weaver, Tim Witherspoon would spread him across the ring like peanutbutter on hot toast.

Tyrell Biggs, Pinklon Thomas, and probably Trevor Berbick could smoke Haye. I would have to add an late 30s to early 40s Larry Holmes would have a good chance of beating him too.

I think the WBA title holder could take out Norton. Ken Norton never handled power all that well. I think he could take out Golota fairly easy too and both of those guys were good fighters, good boxers.


Shannon Briggs in his prime would have been difficult for him 6'4 225-230, fast hands, big power, decent durability. Tommy Morrison would have been a little dangerous for him. Ron Lyle, Donovan Ruddock, MAYBE Tex Cobb (only due to him durability...so the WBA title holder would have to fight like he did vs Carl Thompson to lose that fight), MAYBE Gerry Cooney. Tony Tucker would give him some trouble, Ray Mercer, Oliver McCall, Michael Dokes maybe, Chris Byrd, David Tua. Hell there are guys who are average that would give anyone trouble...I don't know if any of those fights are necessarily "easy" one way or another. And these heavyweights were only considered "mediocre" in their eras so that has to be taken into consideration.
