    Haye by a mile. Kovalev has never fought at Cruiser, at least not too my knowledge. Just because you can have in impact at LHW, doesn't mean you will be as good moving up. The jump from LHW to Cruiser is a big jump.
    Also, Haye might be a loud mouth prat but at Cruiser he was a very good fighter. Haye knocks him out or shuts him out. Too much speed, too much power.

    I think kovalev catches up with him.


    but on normal consideration you gotta give haye the edge. but I just don't think kovalev is that normal, hes got even odds against haye in my view.

    If Kovalev has a year to build himself up to a Cruiser, be properly condition to his new weight and has a few tune ups, I think he stops Haye. If he just jumps right in with his first match against Haye, David would probably win.

    :shock: You know the man crush i have on Kovalev, and even i would concede that haye must be a huge favourite in this one. Hes a big cruiserweight with more speed and more power, and can be very elusive. Kovalev has never fought at 200lbs, Unlike beterbiev. Thats more realistic imo. Artur is just avoiding usyk he is a cruiserweight. :lol:

    My crush is stronger than yours:hey I said Haye would win if Kovalev jumped right in with him at CW, but if he had time to build himself up into a proper CW he may have a chance.

    But Usyk KO's them both and Beterbiev as well.

    I think David finds a way to cancel the fight...

    I'm curious about the HGH gut and boxing. I saw a picture of Haye with one of those low-fat yet bulging bellies. Some say that HGH make the innerds grow thus causing that unique muscular yet pregnant look. Maybe if Haye supped up with HGH and caused his vitals to expand that might not bode well for his ability to take a body shot. I don't know if his guts would go back to normal size if he quit taking HGH. But I'd definitely test a body like that with a steady barrage of body punches.

    BTW, Kovalev has KOed several with body punches, even a jab to the body for a KO win:bbb.
