    Both small heavyweights for their day, who hit harder in these two? IMO Haye certainly was a bigger puncher.

    Haye most likely hits harder. But, Spinks is a far superior technician in the ring than Haye. As a result, Spinks is more likely to land many more punches on an opponent than Haye. I pick Spinks in a head to head matchup over Haye at any weight. And, I also pick Spinks to do as well if not better than Haye did against any of Haye's opponents. Spinks is just flat out a much better fighter than Haye. And, truthfully, he isn't even that much smaller than Haye. Haye's conditioning at Heavyweight is pretty underwhelming with his added bulk. Michael would pick him apart and stop him late.

    Haye was a better puncher, Spinks was better all things considered.

    kliturd thinks unifying 2 cruiserweight belts >> winning undisputed 3 LHW belts

    kliturd thinks winning one HW title >> winning lineal HW title


    kliturd thinks beating valuev, ruiz and fraudley >> Co0ney and top five ATG holmes twice


    kliturd thinks getting easily beat by 40 year old man >>> beating easily beat by prime ATG.

    Welcome to Planet Kliturd, where much much less, is so much much more.

    Spinks is the better boxer....He was also a undisputed Heavyweight Champion...( haye only had 1/3 ) and ofcourse was perhaps the best ever LH champion
