Good list and analysis. Haven't read the front page story. My first thoughts are that you're being charitable to Haye. All the ones you have Haye losing are spot on. However some that you have Haye winning, close or not, I think are pick 'em fights. One example: Sultan vs. DH. You very reasonably have it as a SD for Haye. Now Sultan was a small HW, but so is Haye. Going from memory but Sultan looked about as bad vs. Wlad as Haye did. To me that's straight up 50-50 fight. Not so sure Haye UDs prime Peter & Ortiz. He definitely could on a good night, but I could see Haye losing one of those.
Reality would probably be that few if any of these fights would eventuate. There would be fight negotiation sagas taking up most of a year, Haye pulling out at the last minute, postponements. Many of those fights could have actually taken place but Haye was too inactive for whatever reason.
I don’t think Haye lasts 8 rounds with Povetkin personally. If he heard the bell for round 5 I’d be impressed.
Wladimir Klitchko UD Vitali Klitchko TKO Alexander Povetkin : povetkin ko Anthony Joshua Haye ko Haye UD Chris Byrd Haye KO Dillian Whyte Tyson Fury points Haye KO Hashim Rahman Haye ud ruiz Haye ud ibragimov Haye beats purity Haye ko sanders with some lairy moments Haye ko Chagaev Haye ko Eddie Chambers Haye points brewster Haye twats wilder Haye ko ortiz Haye ko pulev Haye points peter Haye UD Joseph Parker Haye beats hunter on points Haye /Tua... Not sure.. Feel like Haye woulda got caught by the Tua who did ruiz Haye UD James Toney
That’s Fair but favouring haye a lot. Ruiz would definitely come close to stopping haye if you ask me. Haye also wasn’t that brave when he wasn’t a big favourite to win.
Hayes best fight at HW was chisora. That’s what we go by I guess. Chisora is a iron chinned pressure fighter who cannot take a step back, it was a perfect opponent for a sharp ko artist like haye.
I’d agree with nearly all that bar Wilder an pulev, I think he can turn that the other way, and a niggle suspicion he might be able to do something with Pov if he stuns him same with Joshua
Nonpovetkin is too hard headed and consistent for haye, I mean when pov finds his range he isn’t rushed he keeps his form well. Haye gets sloppy.
People forget how vulnerable haye could look at times, he knew it himself as well. I can see the tougher fighters and better boxers giving haye plenty of problems.
If Ruiz was faster on his feet the no1 spot would be up for grabs between him an Fury imo, that’s how much I rate Ruiz. Fast hands, solid chin, solid as ****, that good he can throw a pinpoint combo after taking a shot that puts everyone else on ***** Street, hugely abused talent down to maybe spasticness. I’m being generous really, Fury ud’s the **** out of him but everyone else loses to a proper motivated Ruiz
