    If Tyson could KO Spinks, then Haye knocks out Spinks inside 3 rounds.

    Haye is ranked the 3rd best cruiserweight champ by many.Hayes Hw record is more impressive,take away Spinks wins over Holmes because we ALL know he really didn't win those fights and if you think he did you really need to examine what punches actually landed and a shot ****ey...well Haye is the better fighter on paper or footage,i still have yet to see what skills Spinks brings to the table other than awkward style if we are going to say he was great,he was a good counter puncher with angles but certainly not going to withstand a hard hitter if he was swarmed.

    Haye was obviously the bigger puncher(and naturally the bigger man), but Spinks was quicker, had better (awkward) footwork, better jab and far, far superior workrate. And his ring IQ was light years better than Haye.

    Haye's power is overrated. He preyed on carcasses at heavyweight.
    I don't see any solid evidence that he hit harder than Spinks, though he might have.

    I honestly believe Tyson could beat Spinks, Haye and Moorer on the same night. One after the other.

    Physically, yeah, easy.
    He might crumble emotionally though.
    Maybe throw Seldon in there somewhere for comedy relief to ease Tyson's fragile temperament.

    Haye wouldn't actually get in the ring with Tyson though.

    This is ironically the only thread or opinion that wass has ever been right about though im assuming its an agenda against Tyson ,though really there is nothing that shows Spinks to be better than Haye ,what does he really do better?No one can answer that.Haye is faster/stronger more footwork better counter puncher and harder to hit and has fought up to 230 pounds and maintained his speed.The only real blemish on him is when he was younger,and Wlad,who would put spinks out withing 4 rounds.

    That still doesn't answer the thread topic.Tyson,klitchko,godzilla,etc,etc are not the topic,its Haye and spinks on power.

    Haye at Heavyweight, Spinks could hurt you though with combo's but did not really add to his light heavyweight power moving up in weight. Haye is heavy handed and has good speed but significant power at heavyweight

    Haye, Moorer and Seldon are mentally more fragile than Tyson.
