Seeing the weigh in today, it reminded me so much in the physical differences between Gerry Cooney and Michael Spinks all those years ago. Gerry Cooney the big left hook punching, lumbering giant with long arms. Verses the fast moving and fast punching bulked up light heavyweight Michael Spinks. In that fight in 1987, Spinks weighed 208 lbs Cooney 238 lbs, what happend? For the most part Spinks peppered the crap out of Cooney out speeding him and out punching him.
Is this fight on saturday going to go any differently? I don't think so, Haye punches harder than Michael Spinks and he's just as fast. Is Harrison better than Gerry Cooney was? not really. Despite the weight and height difference I can't see things going well for Harrison.

Re: Haye-210 1/2 lbs Audley-253 1/5 lbs, Is this Spinks v Cooney all over again?
