    David was listed as 6'2" , Frank at 6'3". Their weights at Heavy were similar. Haye's no Bill Sharkey.

    Haye wasn’t even a big cruiserweight. Guy used to make 190 no problem, and then 200 no problem, in fact he was doing lots of weights and drowning himself in protein shakes just to bulk up to anything anywhere near heavyweight. Look at the guy now, you’d never guess he was a former heavyweight if you walked past him, looks like a super middleweight

    Not sure I understand your point chap. In a fantasy fight between the pair, Haye would be coming in at around 15 stone 10. That's about what Bruno scaled for most of his career.
    Just to be clear, I'm not a fan of either guy.
    I guess you don't remember Bruno's "Fight" with Bill Sharkey.

    Neither am I. I do remember it, I could say the same about Haye vs lolenga mock etc. And you don’t understand my point? Well the original comment you made was in reference to Haye’s weight and the lack of a significant size difference, I was pointing that out.

    I remember the Bill Sharkey fight like it was yesterday. Saturday lunchtime on Grandstand. I remember thinking, "Why is he fighting this tiny little man ?"
    David Haye was a very different size, shape and proposition as a Heavyweight. I'm leaving this one here. I haven't yet seen you make a case for Frank.

    Haye by stoppage. He eventually times the right hand over the Bruno jab and wobbles him. Then jumps in for the finish. Mid rounds.
