    Yes, a young primer Holmes was 2ce removed by Michael friggin Spinks, a guy an inch or 2 shorter and 15 lbs lighter than Haye with all the power of a leaf blower and still not the slickness, struggled and gifted against heaps of his contempories. LAter a fatter and older but more experienced and smarter version manages to out land a plodder in Ray Mercer. Suddenly he can withstand David Haye!

    George Foreman was 2ce beaten by 2 of the biggest featherfists to ever participate in HW boxing, Muhammad Ali and Jimmy Young when prime but the old slow version would KO Haye with a jab?

    Wanna see what would happen there, see Foreman vs Morrison!

    Holmes should have gotten both decisions against Spinks who probably would have beaten Haye anyway.

    Haye fighting like Tommy Morrison to win a decision, could happen but probably not either.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I never said David Haye would slug it out right in front of Foreman did I? Obviously not. It would be a successful hit and run job. An EASY hit and run job. Hell Morrison was a swarmer/slugger type fighter with good all round boxing skills as well, hit and run was not even his style and he pulled it off. The faster more practiced at it Haye could do it blindfolded I reckon.

    As for Spinks, maybe your right about those decisions but they were close to draws in my book anyway, disgraceful for a guy like Holmes who had been potentially gifted many times previous anyway. But as for Spinks vs Haye I think Spinks stands as much chance there as against Tyson!! F/A!
