    I feel Carl Thompson was exactly like Andries and that Hearns would of destroyed Thompson compared to how Haye gassed and got knocked out by this bum also Hill would out jabbed Haye even though he lost to a 30 year old Tommy what do you think?

    Hard to say. 175 pounds? Haye was more built for that division than Hearns was.

    Hearns knocked out a natural light heavy in the form of Andries and Haye was knocked out by Thompson who did not punch harder than Tommy plus Hearns had a reach as long as Muhammad Ali at 78".

    I feel Hearns would of stopped Thompson quicker and not missed with so many punches Haye has problems with a long jab.

    Hearns started at such a lower weight. To me the fight is too big a difference in size. Many people think Hearns can go up to any weight because of height, but I don't think that is true. When he fought Ray or Benitez or Duran, he didn't look that huge, just thin and tall.

    I’m not mad on Haye, but I think he’d spark Hearns.

    It was his reach that bothered those guys, his reach was the same as Ali`s at 78" I think Andries could of beaten Haye had they been around at the same time because Andries was just like Thompson and punched hard enough to stop Haye.

    Judging Haye for what he did in his 11th pro fight doesn't make sense. Also judging how Haye would do at light heavyweight doesn't make much sense either, considering he never fought at that weight.

    Andries could have beaten Haye. Yes. Andries was underrated in many ways, but even though Hearns beat him, stylistically. Andries was a stronger guy than Hearns naturally. and some guys who Hearns struggled with Andries would not... I think Andries could have beaten Barkley at 175.

    Why are we comparing a career long cruiserweight and heavyweight campaigner in mythical match ups against light heavyweights? Haye would be so drained at light heavyweight that Nathan Cleverley or a 51 year old Hopkins would blow him out.
