Prime Tyson was ferocious. Haye has fast hands but Tyson moved his head well and knows how to slip punches. Haye comes at you with his chin in the air, he is bound to get caught. Do you really think he can take Tyson's punch? haha. Tyson by death.
Tyson won't just put Haye on ***** st., he'll be sure he also checks out ***** avenue, ***** lane and ***** drive.
I don't see why he couldn't take his punch, he was only ever stopped ( not KO'ed) very young because he punched himself out, the real question is, can Tyson take a Haymaker? the answer is no, no living man can.
How are Tyson and Haye alike ? Name 1 other heavyweight fighting outta the peek-a-boo style ! How do you beat a good jab, especially from a taller man ? Real speed combined with a peek-a-boo style.
How do you beat a good jab from someone taller? Ask hopkins, and Ask Calzaghe, they both did it recently.
Prime Tyson would beat 2008 David Haye no question. I dont think Haye has yet reached his prime though so you can't compare them fairly as we haven't seen how good or bad Haye will become from here on in. Tyson beat most of his opponent's before the bell rang through sheer intimidation and terror, I will give Haye prop's because i dont think he would have fell for this. Tyson also started to struggle in his career when the bully tactic's failed to work also Tyson would lose heart easily if he didn't get a man out of there and ultimately this became his undoing. With all that said i still see Tyson beating Haye, the relentless volume of hook's and vicious uppercut's would give Haye some serious trouble.
FEAR would be knocking on Haye's door rapidly if he were to have ever fought a prime Tyson! Just how can anyone feel Haye would stand a chance against a prime Tyson is ridiculous. Tyson would be able to outbox & outfight Haye, so Haye is basically fcuked! This fight would be over before its even started because of one thing: INTIMIDATION!
BS Ruddock, Tucker, Holmes and others weren't scared of Tyson he was just better, he started to lose after a 4 yr layoff and old age, so lets cut the bull ****, as for Haye I like him but but Tyson is better in almost every catetgory of the game and would KO him.
