    Honestly I could easily see it. On vision alone, Haye is faster stronger and more consistent than any of the '70s legends (or as we should start calling them, wive's tales).

    Glad to see the over rating of Shavers continues. Haye is a terrible match up for him even if we assume Earnie was better than what he was.

    Faster, yes.

    But what about all of the other factors?

    Stronger?

    How is he stronger?

    I think Haye would have been the dominant champ if around in that era also and agree the Klitschkos or Lewis would have dominated if there also

    Really can't see him dominating that decade. He would be quite competitive though.

    A guy who couldn't and didn't do **** in his own era is going to magically transfer into another era and rule there.

    Ok then.
