    Okolie is destroying all the cruiserweights out there. How would he do vs Haye.

    Need to see Okolie have his chin tested before making a prediction on how he'd do against Haye

    Nobody at cruiserweight can touch it.

    He hasn't fought anybody close to Haye's level at CW, anyone who fights a prime David Haye at CW is going to have their chin tested. End of.

    He could have a good chin and still end up getting KO'ed vs Haye. For all of Haye's flaws a lack of power wasn't one of them, he's cracked some good chins.

    Who is Okolie destroying? 34 yo almost 2 years out of the ring Glowacki... How is this stuff not glaringly obvious to "boxing fans"? Not to mention the size difference.. Not really a fair fight in any respect.. A fight he should have won given the circumstances. Typical careful subtle (not really subtle if you look into it for more than 30 seconds) matchmaking.. Okolie will get chinned when he fights legit game opposition at cruiser let alone Heavyweight

    Not well vs in good shape Haye for sure.
    Haye was far more effective vs the same Chisora than Parker, Usyk and Fury, guys, please be realistic thinking here.
    Well, the same mistakenly with commercial intent represented fight Glowacki vs Briedis.
    Widely represented in internet as dirty win. LOL at boxing business and noobs.
    Course of fight ( LOL ).
    Glowacki gets hit on guard and his hands hits his chin with loud sound despite sound from unbearable loudly yelling crowd it is easy to hear.
    Glowacki lands full power rabbit punch on back of head with impressive loud sound.
    Then he gets very small little lesson and wow, there so much problems.
    Glowacki too should not had been in semi final, he should had lost via DQ vs Vlasov.
    Now Glowacki, who had anyway lost this fight, is "wictim'' and suffering cos bad officiating.

    Haye if in good shape I think hits far more hard than Briedis or Gassiev, not alone if talk about Usyk.

    I really appreciate co ck y eddie who is thinking that his clauses and purses should had been maybe like for beltless ring rusty Glowacki the same as for Briedis with 2 belts and coming out from winning streak.
    Now old ring rusty post injuries the same Briedis looks that was not enough suitable nor for Okolie nor Makabu.
    Damn and maybe this will be Cieslak as IBF mandatory. If Briedis is in good shape and able to make weight, this will be huge mismatch.
    While the same Makabu vs Briedis might be far more watchable than Doricos vs Briedis.
    I forget that WBC had allowed Makabu to fight vs 40 y.o Durodola who had lost vs the same Briedis when he was 35 y.o.
    Integrity matters a lot and competitive pro boxing too.

    Okolie is a refreshing breath of fresh air from what that division has become in recent years...I suspect he would have made for a highly exciting matchup against one of the last great CWs in David Haye, but at this stage I don't think he's had to go to the well yet so it's tough to say how he'd fare in a long and grueling fight with David Haye.
    Haye was from a different cloth than the guys running around that division now

    Becuse top boxers origin looks not suitable for you nothing more here.
    Boxer will be good boxer if he form you assumption will have " proper " origin.
    Therefore there is huge disrespect to CW division, including former or current top guys and tribal and nationalistic posters like you.

    Different cloth?
    Haye had been beated by Bellew who instead of facing his mandatory in " bad boxer " for you in prime and in good shape Briedis had vacated his title belt and moved up to HW to beat Haye.

    Sure from DIFFERENT ORGIN NOT DIFFERENT CLOTH, DAMN F*****K.

    Boxer for you like damn a lot posters here should AT FIRST HAVE PROPER ORIGIN.

    This for guys like you is from different cloth, of course.
    Therefore " pillow fist " Usyk had sparked Bellew in fight where Tony had demanded that Usyk should put all his belts: The Ring, WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO belts on the line.
    Most laughable thing there were commentators and judges, they had dream that Usyk is boxing vs Bellew for judges cards and posters in internet forums.

    Cos for guys like you BOXERS ORIGIN IS = BOXING SKILLS and figh result too damn.

    I don't even rate Okolie much; however, one thing that's apparent is your insatiable thirst to spread hate masked as revelation. Agnostic or not, I will pray for your spiteful soul my young angry grasshopper.

    Please understand I love you my brother, and truly wish the best for you despite what you may think.

    It is good that you looks that talk from 2nd profile now.
    So first claim how bad CW division might had been was what?
    Not proper boxers origin for sure and damn in depth this is core why for long years a lot of posters call this as bad division and bad era.
    Not proper boxers origin, I even do not talk about Usyk, God help.

    CW division competiton level according to a lot of posters was bad etc.

    Real core for these posts looks that is because boxer's origin more than anything else.

    So where is entire farce at CW?

    Reality: even the same HW Povetkin.
    Huck from " bad CW divison " being approx 209 lbs had normally hanged vs then 32 y.o undefeated in pro ring Povetkin.
    Whyte from more competitive and better division had been sparked out cold by 40 years 11 months old Povetkin while being 252 lbs.
    Ofc now again will be excuses and casual claims, too predictable.
    Haye, being approx 217 lbs sparks out Chisora in 5 rounds. Ohh, again there will be excuses how bad division and still real core for claims: boxers NOT from Proper countries in top!
    This is what this is in reality.

    LOL, and of course only one entire farce here it is.

    Haye probably knocks him out but Okolie is naturally much bigger (yes, Haye was not even a big cruiser and Okolie is) and Okolie does have power even if limited. I’d make Haye a pretty solid favourite

    Uh, he beat Glowacki post covid, and no one else of note.

    I am big on Okolie, but he has a ways to go before we start doing hypotheticals with past notables.
