My brain says Fury but my intuition says Haye. He outboxed Valuev and I believe that he was injured during the Klitschko fight and without the injury the outcome may have been different
Tyson vs cruiserweights - Usyk x2 and Cunningham, his 3 toughest fights. I still think he takes it for some reason though.
I’m sorry but if you struggle to beat Valuev, you would get battered by Fury. Fury even then would batter Haye
Fury's size alone just leaning on Haye would've caused some sort of injury to Haye as he was seriously injury prone.
Yeah that was an interesting matchup. I have a feeling Haye wouldn't be able to take Fury's power as well as Fury could take his. Fury isn't a huge puncher but still has HW power and Haye relied on not getting hit at HW. Fury would probably be able to land on Haye quite a bit once Haye slowed down. Haye would be pretty dangerous in the early part but he doesn't have the engine of Fury or Usyk. Fury has proven by now he can weather storms and finish fights, take big shots and come back etc., Haye never showed that. Late TKO for Fury I think but who knows.
If Cunningham could drop Fury heavily, then Haye could have done some severe damage, in 2013 I'd have gone for Haye.
Nobody had Fury winning that fight, do not lie to yourselves. Everyone and their mother was picking Haye to win.
If Fury turned up fully focused and fired on all cylinders he could have gotten it done, but it would have been a risky fight. Haye was better than anyone Fury beat other than Wlad.
People have to remember at this time Fury wasn't highly thought he was still known as the meme Heavyweight who punched himself. My issue with Haye is that he bottled it vs Wladimir so he may do the same vs Fury. But Fury was also still green at this stage in his career so it's still a winnable fight for Haye considering Fury was still a work in a progress. Remember folks Fury in 2013 was getting decked by Cruiserweight Cunningham who had a below 50 percent stoppage ratio compared to Haye who had over a 90 percent stoppage ratio.
