    Haye knocks him out in my opinion. Far too open. Haye could punch and was fast. He obliterated a prime Chisora. I'm not sure about Breidis, not enough as a HW.

    Having nothing to do with the thread, Brieidis recently said he might do something with misfits boxing. So we may see him back in some capacity.

    If you are hittable, the likelihood is Prime Haye puts you as stiff David Price on a windy day. Fabio included unfortunately.

    One of the most under appreciated boxers to come out of the U.K Haye. May be the most athletically gifted fighter for sure. The speed and head movement for a guy that size was absurd. Combine that with the power, you just cant be hittable. If you can survive 5/6 rounds and have enough left then youve got a much better chance.

    Speed kills. Wardley was stunned by Huni simply due to his speed, even though he isn't a big hitter. Haye is a terrible style match up for him imo.

    Wardley vs Breidis however is a very interesting one.

    Wardley shatters Haye's glass jaw - absolutely obliterates that fragile mandible

    Briedis was known as Wlad's only long term sparring partner that was never dropped or hurt in sparring. He's the real deal.

    It's just not fair to ask him to fight two guys at once.

    Parker was 6-3 up after 9 rounds. Briedis is probably too tough and skilled.

    Haye is very overrated relative to fighters who came after him, Wardley vs Haye is close to 50-50 imo. Put on skates by blown up SMW Lolenga Mock, stopped in 5 by 40+ Carl Thompson, ducked Steve Cunningham at cruiserweight for undisputed, scraped by final career fight Valuev on a debatable MD, lost 10-2 to Wlad in semi-survival mode, won a shootout in 5 against Chisora (by far Haye's most impressive win and seemingly the only fight people remember) which was arguably stopped early, ducked Fury a week out from the fight, came back a few years later to get stopped twice by Bellew. Given what he said about Wilder in sparring he wasn't confident in that matchup either.

    There's just no universe in which I see Briedis being beaten by Fabio , as much as I'm a fan and root for him every time.
    Haye could certainly be the one to knock Wardley out, but would expect Haye to get careless and get caught, hurt and stopped

    Sharp shooting Sniper Haye, definitely connects cleanly with full power on Fabio's chin.

    Whether Fabio gets back up off the canvas should be the question here.

    Briedis hard to say.

    David Haye was all wrong for Wardley.

    I favor both to beat him.
    Haye v Briedis would've been a good fight.

    They both beat him, they’re a few levels above him.

    Wardley has got by on determination and s decent amount of luck as well.
