David Haye v Evander Holyfield

[ElTerribleMorales]

Holyfield was just as fast or faster in his prime and had just as explosive power at Cruiserweight, he had a higher work rate and incredible stamina, factor in that he had overall better boxing ability and technique, he'd pummel Haye in 7 and do it easily

In a contest between the two just talking about fighting haye in any condition beats evander hands down. In actual fighting i'd say holyfield would beat the crap out of haye. Holyfield actually fights....and top guys when he was in his prime. We all have to beg haye to fight anyone decent and holyfield we have to beg to stop. I wouldn't even put the two in the same class. The only reason haye is even remotely considered is due to the lack of anyone else worth a crap in the whole division. Go back to prime days of evander and we would laugh to even see haye's name in the top 10

. We all have to beg haye to fight anyone decent and holyfield we have to beg to stop.

True !

Dwight Mohammed Quawi (Evander fought twice, I think) would beat Haye. In retrospect to Holyfield's career you would have a hard time making an argument that Haye could hold a candle in Holyfield's furnace. But, you know guys fight differently at different weights, so it could have been a very competitive fight for all we know.

[TigerFan]

Holyfield for me.

[reece]

it would be good to see how Haye would hold up fighting somebody of Holyfield class you never know he may last the distance. (OR NOT)

Holyfield at cruiser would stop Haye late rounds but it would be a good fight.

Holyfield was inconsistent at heavyweight after the Bowe defeat, prior to that as a poster mentioned Haye would only be a warm up for Holyfield. Holyfield beat Dokes, Thomas, Alex Stewart all equally as good then as Haye is now.

The Holyfield that fought Bowe 3 or Moorer 1 could possibly lose but if he landed the knockdown punches in that fight he may have ko’ed Haye who I believe has no chin at heavyweight.

Holyfeild would crush Haye can't believe were even saying there name in the same sentence. Holyfeild is the greatest CW of all time and top ten greatest heavy of all time. To be honest Haye ain't shit really compared to Holyfeild i don't really see how he could win en less Holyfeild had a hart attack.

now thers a fight i`d like to see, i`m a big fan of david haye, but i feel like he really hasn`t been tested yet. if he could beat evander he would get a bit more recgonition in the boxing world.

ummm no he wouldn't, Holyfield is shot to bits now, he wont get any credit unless he beats a Klitschko and rightfully so, there's no one that the Klitschko's haven't already beaten, so there is no one of note out there that matters for Haye to fight other than Vitali and/or Wlad

[Master]

Haye could take him now.

I don't feel Haye has really peaked, and may have his best years ahead of him (if he can live up to his own hype with the Klit fights - doubtful), and assuming all of the retirement talk is bollocks, but if he fought Evander now he'd just lose even more respect.
Evander is a legend, but this fight wouldn't be a fair competition. Evander is 48 and Haye is 30. Less of a joke than the Audley fight still, and complete respect to Evander, as I'm sure he'd take the fight even now , but it has to be the Klit fights next for Haye.
Prime Holyfield schools Haye.
