There are some more interesting match ups:
Bob Foster - this would be great while it lasted. Both guys throw bombs but could also be vulnerable themselves. Haye was probably a better technician than Bob, due to his long and illustrious amateur career, so i would lean toward haye being the guy that landed first.
Roy Jones Junior - another very good matchup. Haye would be by far the naturally bigger guy, but he would never have seen someone like Roy. Unlike Ruiz, haye would be dangerous throughout ...... a 50/50 pick-em for me.
George Foreman (Part 1) - only joking, young George would crush Haye like a roach.
Joe Frazier - Haye would be the bigger guy and unless he jumped on Joe early (Joe always started slowly, and haye is a quick starter and a good finisher), Frazier grinds him down and we see something a bit like the Carl Thompson fight with an exhausted and beaten up haye being stopped by the ref around the 9th
Foster was a great at light heavy but at heavy the greats crushed him still think Foster wins at cruiser.
Forgot that Frazier would be smaller but still think he would be too much for Haye.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
