Holyfield: ''Haye would be a simple fight''

[amat]

He might have won more rounds from Valuev then Haye did lol.

True point, aside from that damaging last round blow Haye's performance over Valuev was less impressive than Chagaevs, and no more impressive than Ruiz in the first fight and Holyfield.

He won the belt but looked like mediocre to me. Against Ruiz he didn't look like a world beater either.

I don't think he would beat many of the current top 10.

I'd fancy both Klitschko's, Thompson, Arreola, Chambers, Povetkin, Solis and Juan Carlos Gomez to cause him all kinds of trouble.

Even guys like Adamek and Kevin Johnson might be able to get to him.

He's a legit belt holder and so deserves his spot as the number 1 contender, but he's not beaten a top 10 heavyweight yet.

Valuev had already been beaten 3 times every time he stepped up.

if i remember i think i had valuev winning against haye. lennox lewis wouldnt even give john ruiz a title shot cos it wouldnt motivate him & no one wanted to see a 90 second fight obliviation of ruiz.

if haye dont fight one of the K's next then who gives a fk abt haye!

only people who go on & on abt haye generally are people in the pub who have never even seen the K's fight b4.

Which despite all the things that Haye lacks is a good thing... people who weren't die hard boxing fans or even boxing fans used to at least know and occasionally talking about the Heavyweight Champion of the world.

yeah i suppose so but they know abt one fighter just like most of the ricky hatton fans, then they get confused when they lose

His reflexes are beyond shot, Haye would beat him to shit.

He can still bounce around on his toes for 12 rounds though, that's pretty impressive. He also looks in such great condition in the ring.

A prime Holyfield would be Hayes worst nightmare. I still think he'd probably even be the best Haye has fought at heavyweight so far even aged 47.

...see my earlier post where I said Holyfield is as durable as Ruiz AND has better foot and hand speed...if Ruiz can land a clean jab on Haye then surely Holyfield can do the same?
