Haye vs Holyfield

[Primo Carnera]

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!

david haye---the Biggest Charlatian ever!

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.

[Master]

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.

Would the cruiserweight Holyfield have lost to a 40 year old Thompson?

He wouldn't have been decked bu Cunningham either, despite actually being a former cruiser also.

[Memphis]

Would the cruiserweight Holyfield have lost to a 40 year old Thompson?

Would a heavyweight Haye have been turned into a drunk by tub of goo Toney?


At their best in either weight class Holyfield smashes Haye to bits. Haye's only chance is a punchers one.
