    Haye would have absolutely ZERO chance.

    On some occasions yes but the majority of the time he adopts the same tactics employed by Wlad. Jab their head off,break them down and wait till his opponent has nothing left. He wasn't one for taking chances.

    I think Wlad/Lewis would be decent enough,one for the purist.

    Lewis KO R7

    As I say, against dangerous opponents that came to fight (i.e not Tua who was there to be picked off) Lennox would take 'em out.

    Wlad is also vulnerable; Lennox is going for him mate :deal

    I think this fight would resemble the Lewis/Briggs fight. He'd give Lewis trouble with his speed and power for the first couple of rounds but would then take a beating.

    anyone who bangs always had a 1% chance of connecting properly and taking Lewis out, McCall/Rahman both threw punches of a lifetime .. like some terrorists once said " we only have to get lucky once" and that logic applies to any heavyweight fight where there is an underdog with a punchers chance

    I'm a firm believer that someone who punches as hard as Haye always has a chance but a very small one.

    It is becoming pretty conclusive that Haye in the esteemed opinion of the british Esb posters has **** all chance. This is a sad day for the heavyweight division, because we basically don't have any one with a good enough boxing brain, explosive power, and durability to hang with most heavyweights from the glory days.

    Heavyweight boxing is dead!!! When will the savior come?

    Lennox is on another level to Haye at HW.

    Lennox would detroy Haye in all honesty.

    Just think what Lennox would have done to the giant freakshow, he would have toppled that tower.

    Lennox vs Valuev.

    That would have been tremendous to watch the big guy fall. Only one winner in that one and I think it may have been brutal!!!

    Lennox gets violent on the big guys. I don't know if he thinks they are threatening or what but he comes to hurt them - Grant, Golota, Vitali etc

    I know, and that is what makes Lewis an all time great and not even relevant for comparison for someone who threw 10 punches a round against a giant freakshow and got a UD.

    Lewis would have toppled the tower and within quick time, like he did with Grant. What he did to Grant still deserves watching today.
