    On ATG radio this week.

    Is he right?

    Or just bitter that Haye ducked him at Cruiserweight??

    Bitter. Fury has straight glass as a jaw.

    Bitter I guess. You don't need skills to KO Fury.;)

    Skill wise there is a strong argument to say Cunningham is better than Haye. I could see Cunningham out boxing Haye if he could avoid getting knocked out.

    if a USS overhand right dropped that oaf, imagine what a quicker and much heavier Haye OH right will do

    I don't really think Haye is quicker, just much more powerful.

    Considering nobody has KO'd Fury how do you come to the conclusion that you don't need skills to KO him ?
    Haye may have a better resume at HW, and he obviously hits much harder than Cunningham, but Cunningham is the better technician and Fury had little trouble finishing the job once he decided to start boxing and stop posturing.

    Haye's punching power and lateral movement will be the deciding factor

    Neven Pajkic (6'3) was able to put Fury down early
    Steve Cunningham (6'3) was also able to put Fury down early

    David Haye (6'3) is faster, stronger and more athletic than both Pajkic and Cunningham

    Their only common opponent is Dereck Chisora who came in overweight for his fight against Fury and was able to push him to the 12 round limit whilst David Haye dropped Chisora twice and stopped the fight in 5 rounds

    There is no possible way Fury can win this fight

    Where did i say Fury would beat Haye ?
    I am simply highlighting the fact that Fury has never been KO'd, yet people seem to think you don't need skills to KO him, based on what ?
    As for common opponent triangulations, they mean jack ****.Just because fighter A beats fighter B, and fighter B beat fighter C, doesn't mean fighter A beats fighter C.

    Cunningham doesnt have huge power at Heavyweight judging from the Adamek rematch but still drops Fury, Neven Pajkic wasnt known as a big puncher but still put Fury on his ass.

    Haye has tremendous power in both hands and judging how he took care of Chisora proves he has far more strength than Fury and has proved time and time again how heavy handed he is. Hence why Fury is going down and staying there.

    Fury's chin and defence are enough to leave him to be knocked out by any fighter with enough power, the only trouble is reaching his chin because of his height and maintaining your stamina to be able to land however Haye doesnt need any skill to beat Fury (despite having it) all you need is enough power to land on his chin
