How do you think Haye would do v Mason?

I think Gary Mason is the tougher of the two, so i'd pick him. But David Haye is more skillful, its a toss up.

[Master]

Haye is world champ, Mason never was. Which means abosultely nothing. Close tough fight, haye has speed but Mason had the punch. Pick em type of fight. Which means Haye is about European level in those days.

Thats the difference in quality between the bigger men now and then.

Back then, only the very best would think about moving up. Now any fucker is doing it

Exactly back in Gary Mason's era you had.

Razor Ruddock
Mike Tyson
Riddick Bowe
Evander Holyfield
George Foreman
Ray Mercer
Tommy Morrison
Michael Moorer
Lennox Lewis

ETC.

And barring Tommy Morrison, i don't think David Haye would beat any of those fighters.
