Little reminder for the Haye haters: Here's Haye toying with Valuev, almost knocking him out: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SISRW7_XS0[/ame] Here's your hero Holyfield getting dominated by Valuev: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5y3TCQlEwRc[/ame]
I like David Haye but Holyfield takes this for me via KO. Holy took some beastly punches from big heavyweights during his time and had a great chin, stamina, heart and recovery powers. That alone tells me he's too much for David who likes to potshot off the back foot with Hayemakers, you better believe Holys coming inside and bringing it to him. Evander would engage with David, rough him up too and by the mid to late rounds Haye would be too tired to keep up - this is where Holy drops him or the ref steps in with Haye taking a beating on the ropes.
at Heavyweight fight wont go past six rounds, at Cruiser weight it will go a little longer but Haye still gets knocked out, lets add some Prime Holyfield to this thread instead of the blatant past prime evander vids, considering this is prime vs prime right...

When has Holyfield ever faced someone as athletic and lightning fast as David Haye? People bring up fights vs. washed up Mike Tyson and past prime Lewis as evidence, that's just preposterous.
Holyfield doesnt have stopping power? yet he dropped, Bowe, Mercer and Tyson, 3 guys known for granite chins, Well chins that are better than Hayes.
Tyson was not washed up idiot, Holyfield was more advanced and faded than Mike was, Look at his fight with Qawi the first one then look at the Michael Dokes fight. That is a different Evander there with a higher work rate better defense better footwork and a higher punch out put in no way does David Haye win against Evander Holyfield in his prime
