    Haye is the type of fighter Foreman loves to demolish.

    Hell, Haye wouldn't have even done as good as Norton, except maybe running away better...and that wouldn't have helped him as Foreman was great at cutting down the ring.

    Haye definitely has the tools to land bombs on Foreman. He likely would get a couple in, and Foreman likely would eat them. Assuming Foreman consistently applied pressure, Haye would wilt by the mid rounds if not earlier.

    If it's the version who fought Lyle or Young, anything would go.

    Foreman via bludgeoning, round 5 or less depending on how long Haye can run and move his head. Although Haye might get a few counters in depending on how scared he was of Foreman.

    Yes indeed!

    Haye lost any credibility with the Wlad fight as far as I'm concerned.

    Mine too, I remember even Klitschko was getting tired of Haye diving to the canvas time and time again, around the 5th time he did it Wlad was shaking his head and a look on his face which said 'what on earth is this guy doing?'. God it was embarassing.

    It was either drop down or carry a gigantor's weight on his back.

    You must ask yourself why WK needed to incessantly do that in the first place .

    No it was Haye off balance and fighting like a girl.He was an embarassment to british boxing that night.
    He made it worse when he pulled of out of 2 fights with Tyson Fury, the second time claiming a career ending shoulder injury.
    2 years later he comes back out to steal some money, claims his shoulder's perfect.

    I don't dispute he has become an embarassment to British boxing , but it was this embarassment who Wlad had to dive down upon everytime he penetrated his wheel house.

    The 210 pound hYAE wanted to engage. The Wlad held on and back humped like a big sissy.

    They were both a pair of jokes that night. Wlad the bigger joke since he had all the advantages and was fighting in his back yard and promised his fans Haye would be his 50th KO

    Iv'e not watched it for years but I just remember it being really easy night for Klitschko Haye couldn't get past the jab and made himself look stupid after everything he said before the fight.
    I don't blame Wlad for the dullness of the fight, I blame Haye.

    He got passed the jab plenty. Wlad eventually got deducted a point for holding and leaning it was so bad.

    Its entirely Wlads fault since he had Haye trapped all night and refused point blank to engage him.

    This same Wlad would have been beaten by Fury. I told people Wlad was very beatable for years but no one would listen.
