    Default Haye vs Holyfield

    Opinions at Cruiser & Heavy?

    I actually think Haye might well win at both - I think he's very underated and expect to be in the minority here.

    Just watching Haye vs Klitscho and it's so impressive how good Wlad is here - I sometimes wonder if he's true "golden generation" class but watching that and considering I rate Haye very highly I think he is

    Thoughts?

    Although I regard Haye pretty highly, especially at CW, I don't think he compares anywhere near Holyfield.
    We have to remember Holyfield single handedly made CW a popular division before even getting into the HW division, and although it's true that they were both champions at HW , Holyfield was more of a champion than Haye was. The names on Holyfield's resume blow Haye's out of the water.

    Holy's chin is too good, haYE DOESNT HAVE ENOUGH KO power. Haye's speed will give Evander some fits for 5-6 rounds but then the georgia junk yard dog takes over in a big way and knocks that piece of garbage's charlatan ass out!

    I'd give a HW Haye a punchers chance against Evander when he had just moved up there himself, say around the time of the Bert Cooper fight or something like that. I don't think Haye could beat Evan Fields though From around the time of the Tyson or Lewis fights say.

    Holyfield is too tough, too strong, and too durable....Haye got taken to the limit by Fragomeni for fucks sake!

    Heavyweight, cruiserweight, wouldn't matter Evander 'Real Deal' Holyfield all day long and twice on Sunday!

    I think Dwight Qawi and Bert Cooper would have given Haye fits! Not to mention Michael Spinks!

    "small" Dwight Qawi would have vexed David haye. Haye would miss every punch. haye cannot fight a bobbing/weaving pressure kind of fighter.

    Holyfield was a machine at cruiserweight. He was efficient, durable and perfectly conditioned and would have too much for Haye.

    At heavyweight Holyfield earned his number 1 position the right way by fighting the top contenders. Haye did not.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    are u serious? wlad looked good against haye? both fighters did nothing the whole fight. it was absolutely terrible, haye running and wlad not stepping it up even with a terrified opponent. sorry but wlad sucked balls.

    Firstly Haye wasn't terrified - and is a huge puncher - it's not like it's Alex Lepai in there so im pretty sure thats why Wlad wouldn't go near him in terms of trying to finish a fight.

    Everyone would be saying what an idiot wlad was to trade with him if he went in for the kill - when Haye was never actually hurt and then got tagged with one of Hayes extremely quick big shots and lost the fight.

    Secondly I did think Wlad looked good in terms of how good he is - it wasn't a spectacle don't get me wrong lol - but to control Haye the way he did for almost all of that fight has to be respected - a bit like floyd - it was boring but super effective
