    Noodle neck Haye would likely be knocked cold.

    He still hasn't asked Vitali for his hat back.

    Umm, Lewis, by KO/Murder


    Lewis is the all around better fighter. Great boxer, powerful jab, right hand, fought every different kind of opponent.

    Haye's handspeed is faster, but Lewis has all the tools to beat Haye. Haye doesnt possess any particular skill that presents Lewis with problems.

    I dont see the point in doing an analysis. What does Haye do that would make you believe he would be competitive with Lewis. That fight would be over before the 9th round

    It would be very, very hard to argue in Haye's favour. As much as I like him, and even assuming Haye has a 'good' standard chin for a heavyweight, I think he leaves himself too open and would be KO'ed in 5 or 6 rounds max

    edit; Having said that even though a lot of people still underrate Lewis, we know how good he was. We can't be sure how good a current DH actually is.

    You seem to be over hyping Haye... to the 10th power.

    Wind up thread?

    Haye would be too scared to leave the cruiserweight division if prime LL was around.

    I'm not going to pile on with the stupid hyperbole.......

    Haye's handspeed would create some interesting moments in the first few rounds. But Lennox would settle into a nice rythym and get an 8th or 9th round stoppage.
