    No version of Haye beats any version of Usyk, ever.

    Prime heavyweight Haye will always be a little underrated.

    But really, how can Usyk not be favored here. Hes just too good imo for an athletic based bomber thats his size. He might suffer a knockdown in the process, but Usyk takes control down the stretch to batter Haye late.
    Usyk clear UD.

    As for the Chisora fight, Haye beating Chisora easier than Usyk did, has absolutely 0 relevance to a Haye vs Usyk fight. Haye fights nothing like Chisora.

    And if you felt his speed was just OK, I'm curious who and how many you put over him? As for his heavyweight campaign, seems Ike his body just broke down on him, **** happens. Being an average sized guy in the reign of a great super heavyweight didn't help either. But in a vacuum I feel he'd be a great matchup for Usyk.

    At this point I think I ought to note that Usyk's victory over Fury is better than Haye's entire career.

    In fact, either of his victories over Joshua is probably better than Haye's entire career.

    And Usyk never lost to a LHW, nor was he knocked down by a super middle. In fact, no one ever beat or knocked down Usyk at all.

    Really, this thread is a bit ridiculous. I respect Haye, but there are levels of excellence, and Usyk in on a separate plane of existence.

    Reason Chisora was even competitive is that Usyk isn't a huge hitter at HW.

    That's also why he was a nuisance to 'Dr Iron Fist'.

    If you can't KO Chisora, he just keeps coming.

    Chisora tried his same stuff with Haye and got flattened because he walked into some bombs. Same would likely happen with Wilder, Wlad, AJ, Povetkin, Zhang, anyone with a big punch who can land it.

    Point is, I think the matchup favoured Haye because Chisora is predictable and walks into punches and Haye was specialised to counterpunch people with big bombs.

    But Usyk is not going to plod forward and walk into Haye's bombs. He's going to pick him apart and when Haye tires, Usyk will put the pressure on and KO him cold.

    Usyk has shown he can take good HW power and also that he can hurt much bigger and sturdier guys. Let's remember that Haye was stopped down at cruiser by basically a LHW.

    Haye always has his PED-puncher's chance. But he's not good enough to beat Uysk most likely.

    Whoever thinks Chisora won that needs to log off the internet forever.

    Haye beat the biggest guy, between the two of them, so, I think he ought to be favoured.

    He does have power at any weight. Look at the 9th against Fury, the 12th against Joshua...or the seventh against Chisora himself.

    Usyk is an economical boxer who does not leave much on the table for his opponents. He has power, but he only commits to it when he has them already beaten. Or, in the one, singular case against Fury, when he had to change the course of things.

    That is the difference between a fighter like Haye and a fighter like Usyk. Usyk never shows the cards, and always has a plan B, C, D, E...

    The reason Usyk only outlanded Chisora in 9 rounds and only staggered him in the seventh is a combination of coming off covid and being bored out of his mind. Go to about 5:54, and watch Chisora back up when Usyk adds just the smallest amount of gas...

    I think the reference was more to Usyk taking out Bellew than Bellew taking out Haye! IMO Haye knew he was done and him and Bellew fleeced the public with those two sham fights. Bellew get's sparked by prime Haye IMO.

    But Usyk shuts Haye out - as others have noted, his style is bad for Haye who needs time to set for his power punches - I don't see Haye being able to time Usyk as he would be too busy trying to think defense

    CW Haye

    Stopped by a 40 year old Carl Thompson.

    Dropped heavily, badly hurt and almost knocked out by the much smaller (SMW-LHW) Lolenga Mock who was 0-4-1 in his last 5 fights. In fact, he was hurt so badly by that right hand over the top he had to rugby tackle Mock to the canvas to buy some more time for his head to clear.

    Can you imagine the crap Usyk would get if he'd been dropped heavily and was literally a punch away from getting sparked out by a blown up SMW journeyman who was 0-4-1 in his last 5 fights?

    Haye went life-and-death with Fragomeni. If the Italian possessed even a semblance of power he would've stopped him.

    Haye was dropped and put on spaghetti legs by Mormeck.

    Knocked out in the ABAs by a tiler named Jim Twite.

    Stopped by Solis in the World Championships.

    Haye's best wins at CW

    Mormeck
    Fragomeni
    Enzo
    Gurov

    Two of his best wins at that weight came against opponents who were packing serious glass in their mandibles (Enzo and Gurov). Both those guys could undoubtedly punch but Guvov had been stopped x 4 going into that fight, 3 times of which early (1st, 2nd, and 3rd rounds), and Enzo had been KO'd in 3 by a domestic level and would go on to lose 2 of his next 3 fights via stoppage too, and then the following year after that last KO loss he was brutally sparked out cold.

    Of their combined 14 losses 13 of them were inside the distance


    Haye's best wins at HW

    Valuev
    Ruiz (washed, never fought again)
    Chisora

    All of whom big slow plodders or slow plodders

    Haye stopped Chisora and Usyk didn't

    Belly is 3-0 against Chisora, including stopping him twice

    Usyk has fought more murderous punchers, a whole bunch the hardest punchers in the sport, KO artists and legit bangers than any current champ, in the pros, WSB, and tons in the amateurs too and has never been dropped by a headshot, let alone KO'd, but he's going to crumble against Haye? Haye has been dropped many times and stopped many times and he would be the one who was more in danger of getting KO'd by Usyk than the reverse.

    FTR, I always rated Haye. He was a very dangerous puncher but having to listen to his clown fans on social media acting like he would KO Usyk gets very tedious. He's not on Usyk's level and if they fought each other the only question would be does Usyk KO him, box his ears off and tire him out and stop him in the back half of the fight, or beat him comprehensively on points.

    Haye would not even get in the ring with Fury,highly unlikely he would even consider getting in the ring with Usyk either .

    Not only to mention the huge size, but very probably the most prettiest huge guy.
