You mean Lolenga Mock.

Haye mever wanted any part of Cunningham when Steve was IBF cruiser champ.

Haye would knock Cunningham out without even breaking a sweat. They don't even play in the same league.

Holyfield is a different story.

Something like 50/50.
Your a different story.

If Mock, Thompson and Mormeck who aren't big punchers for cruiser can stop, drop, wobble Haye then Holyfield would ruin him.

Haye wouldn't get anywhere near Cunningham who has gone on to beat more undefeated fights at heavy than Haye dare face. Oh, he didn't go near any...

Out of 6 fighters at heavy they had 25 losses! Not one undefeated, Ruiz had 8 losses and some would have you believe this was a good win and a reasonable world title defence. It wasn't. It wouldn't even be a good fight for someone on the level of Joshua!

Mormeck IS a big puncher you moron. Holyfiled HIMSELF is a featherfist!

I DO think Holyfield could hurt Haye because he doesn't have the best chin. But it's also plainly obvious that Haye has all the other advantages other than speed and stamina.

Besides we're talking the best versions of each aren't we?

I see Tyson, Haye and Holyfield as a good "styles make fights" example.

I think Haye would outclass Holyfield, Holyfield stops Tyson, Tyson knocks out Haye.

Holyfield could not even outbox bloody Moorer for crying out loud!
Michael Moorer was very very good at that point, what are you on about?! He was probably the best southpaw HW ever for a time, and hit really hard himself. The Holyfield that beat Tyson would have flattened Haye imo, Haye couldn't have possibly hurt him or sustained a workrate that would allow him to win without gassing out. I'm sure it would have been a great fight, but Evan Fields had way to much in the tank to lose to Haye.
