    Usyk would have toyed with him at cruiser or heavyweight, Haye was awful v Wlad.

    Would love to see him try to crack Joyce's and Parker's chin.

    Oddly enough I agree he'd beat most today save for Fury, Usyk.

    I think those two would be he harder of the fights for Haye. Wilder might tag him too and Ortiz would give him trouble imo, though I favour Haye over wilder 70/30

    It's easy to forget or get caught up on certain performances
    Haye looked more impressive against a prime Chisora than Usyk did against a faded Chisora

    Hayes resume was shite both at Cruiser and Heavy.

    That said I don't consider Wlad having a win over him. That was a deserved DQ

    He would lose to AJ, Ortiz, Ruiz, Parker, and a few others.

    Povetkin woul KO him.

    You can”t compete at that level without two sound pinkie toes .

    Parker no imo. Ruiz no imo. Ortiz AJ tough fight. Maybe AJ gets him out of there. Povetkin would be a great fight. Let's no forget Povetkin went life n death with ****ing Marco Huck.

    It's forgotten how good Haye was in his prime

    When he beat Enzo it was a decent win and arguably based at the time as big as some of Usyks CW wins,

    Enzo CW champ
    Mormeck a CW champ
    Fragomeni became a CW champ

    Guvov was a decent win

    At HW he beat
    Ruiz who had arguably been America's best HW for around a decade
    Valuev who was a big decent HW title holder

    Haye beat and stopped a prime chisora in impressive fashion and several highly rated HWs get rated in this era for beating a faded Chisora with many losses

    Wish we got to see an underdog Fury destroy him in 2012

    lol! Usyk would have made Ruiz look like he was fighting in slow motion.
