David price..is he still a contender?

[Max Power]

eric;

I mean I agree with you that Haye would have obliterated Fury.

Really?

He struggled with an old Ruiz, took 3 rounds to throw about three punches against Harrsion, looked pants against Valuev and Klitschko, got dropped by Barret.

Haye knows which side of his bread is buttered and getting beaten up in sparring regardless of the tiny highlight real they released he knew he was in for a very rough night against the most live opponent other than Klitschko he had faced.

Yeah man really this time. No doubt about it whatsoever.

David Haye is an excellent boxer. If Adamek can handle Arreola image what Haye could do. Arreola has chin on Haye, that's it. And maybe a bit of power and stamina (maybe).

The skills and speed combined with Haye's definite punching power and elusiveness is a pretty overwhelming combination for any opponent but the very upper echelons of the modern eras.

He would clown Fury and knock him out.
He would annihilate anybody pre 80's
He'd be undoubtedly beaten imo only by guys like Lewis, Bowe, both Klitschko's and Mike Tyson.

You would lose money would you bet otherwise. Haye's mouth before the Klit fight was not completely unfounded.

If someone put a gun to your head and said pick the winner or you'd be shot, you would not put your money on Fury. He's decent but he is an oaf compared with Haye.

Another way to look at your examples is that Haye stepped up to the HW rank, he is a natural cruiser. In this HW era he is expected to fight massive opponents compared to his natural weight. And he's pulled through with all of them bar Klitschko which is nothing to be ashamed of. He even KO's them!

Compare Holyfield, struggling with fossils, got KD's by Cooper, finally fought Riddick Bowe, the then equivalent of Klit and got beaten too! I see no real difference there. Except Haye wasted some opponents and they were massive (even Ruiz was highly experienced and not exactly small! Plus he was reknowned awkward fighter).
