Well you are most certainly entitled to your opinion ! for me if I take the Tyson of the Berbick or Smith fights against the best Haye I have seen ( so far ! ) then I just cant see Haye keeping him off.
I didn't say "the same chance". My guess would be: Haye vs. prime Tyson: Haye wins 3 out of 10 fights. Lewis vs. prime Tyson: Lewis wins 8/10. Wladimir vs. Tyson: Wladimir wins 6/10. Vitali vs. Tyson: Vitali wins 7/10. Haye vs. Wladimir: Wladimir wins 7/10. Haye vs. Vitali: Vitali wins 8/10. Wlad vs. Lewis: Lewis wins 8/10. Vitali vs. Lewis: Lewis wins 7/10. Lewis vs. Haye: Lewis wins 9/10. I don't rate anyone 10/10, 'cause all of the above fighters have been defeated by lesser fighters.
Haye more powerful than Douglas or faster than Spinks??? Please. Haye is unproven at HW. Spinks had beaten Holmes, Douglas was a big skilled underachieving HW, both would have beaten anybody Haye has faced so far. Haye's speed is overrated, he doesn't have very good footwork to go along with his handspeed. He can go from brilliant to sloppy in one round and was easy to hit for little Fragomeni, who doesn't have anywhere near Tyson's speed and power. Do you really think Tyson would get knocked down by Mormeck and have a give and take battle with Fragomeni for nine rounds?
LOL. Funny ****ing post. A peak freaked Tyson???? Against a blown up Cruiser with no ****ing chin?? Give me a break.
For that matter any of the top heavyweights that era would kill Haye. Even guys like Tony Tucker, Pinklon Thomas, Tyrell Biggs and Razor Ruddock would kill him the ******.
Seriously, these threads are getting out of hand. I understand there is a need to compare Vitali to the likes of Bowe, Frazier or Holmes. But HAYE????? To a _PRIME_ Tyson? Please.
If prime Tyson was as half as good as Carl Thompson I'd give him a chance but he wasn't. Sad but true. Haye KO1.
DING DING round 1, CRASH,BANG,WALLOP,KERRRUMP:scaredas: the commentator screams "the paramedics are in the ring", oh my god i hope David Haye is seriously hurt
Tyson would knock the **** out of Haye.If the only fighter for Haye to become world champion was to face Mike Tyson i would`ve said go back to your catwalk career.
