    And what's Fury's elite win? lol
    Wilder?:) he is horrible and would lose to most decent top 10 top fighters from Klitschko or Lewis/Holyfield era.

    Lewis yes i agree i agree on holy

    Fury has has faced better opposition than vitali

    Vitali is not in the same league as Lewis or Holyfield


    Fury is not as good as them yet . he could be or may not be the jury still out on him

    Yes, Fury has the momentum now, but everything can turn around quickly.

    Sanders KD'd Vitali. Everyone with power han hurt him. But they need to land often enough. Nothing that small plodders managed to accomplish against the towering low guard lean back style of Vitali. You need enough of height reach and speed for that. Haye is simply too small. Or you could try to outland him with the jab and go for his eyebrow ridge to cut thru the facial skin so referee stops the fight. Haye would not be able to succeed in such tactic either...

    Fury, Wlad and Joshua would be great matchups for this.

    I dont think so. Haye was so slick, quick and really powerful and super fit. I could see him winning on points quite easily but perhaps trouble If he got caught.

    He would still smash AJ now though!

    Not sure how you can say he emerges with any credit from that second fight especially. Was clearly in no shape to fight but milked a big ppv. Maybe that is gutsy to you. I call it a con job.

    bit harsh. He had surgery. Looked physically in shape, unlike fat bellies contenders of recent years.

    His ego was hurt. I reckon he was there to win. If he did then he may have got a 3rd fight = another payday.

    He'd blown most of his fortune and was there for a payday, 100%.

    yeah they’re prize fighters, it’s what they do. If haye had won 2, then he would’ve got another payday in a rubber match

    How was he going to win when he was at barely 50% due to injury? He was patched up with light sparring and gym work, was nowhere near in shape to beat Bellew who was a legit cruiser world champ. Haye should not have been in the ring second time.

    he tried to win. David Haye like most athletes have an ego.
