If Haye had been around in Tysons era

Those kicks are devastating.

I think that is Shane W.

And did you see that he punch heavy bag with socks?

 

He would have been decapitated by Tyson in round one or two, and he'd be one of the many nobodies on Tyson's resume.

 

I dont know enough about Adamek to really say for sure how much a win over him is worth.. Like Haye, he hasn't stepped up to do that " extra something special " yet... Frankly, Evander Holyfield made a far faster and greater impact on the division upon his ascent to heavy weight than Haye has thus far, despite campaigning at this class for nearly two year. Even Michael Spinks took the lineal crown in his debut at 200lbs, and that was coming strait from light heavy weight, not cruiser....

With all due respect, I think its a tad premature to be talking about what Haye would do if he were on Tyson's throne....

 

McCall knocked him down. And Tyson got right back up. That's from McCall's words.

Another source said it was from a body-shot. I'm not sure if McCall said something else.

Haye has been taken out already and has never had a good chin. It's no secret.

And if you thought a Pot-smoking, alcoholic, over-weight, shot version of Tyson had stamina problems...what's up with haye?

McCall knocked out Lewis by the way.

Also, McCall was known to be a Great Fighter in the Gym but worse in the actual fight because he had issues with fighting in front of a live crowd. Pressure is a *****. It happens.

Oh, and at the time McCall knocked Tyson down, it was for the Spinks fight. Same training camp Tyson showed up at 237 and late to camp and was dealing with "outside issues." His head wasn't in the right place and neither was his conditioning. McCall thought so too.

Many fighters get knocked down in sparring as well as fights. Even Marciano was knocked down in sparring and fights. Same with Hatton. Same with Lewis. Same with most fighters. Well, except McCall. Never been down.

 

Haye hits hard so it really doesn't matter about comparing power with Tyson... but so have others. It's his lack of action that gets him in trouble. Even early, Haye stops fighting and just moves around. That wouldn't work against Tyson...especially early.

 

He was out on his feet. He was looking for his mother. Emanuel Steward even said it was a good stoppage.

Say that fight continues...McCall would hurt him worse. He knew exactly what Lewis was doing. Emanuel was training him who saw all the flaws in Lewis.

hahaha...McBride? Against a Shot fighter who was a drug addict who was exhausted?
Tyson used to gas out after 3 at a certain point. Even Roach I hear took a shot at that. All you had to do is last a few rounds, Tyson would exhaust, and then simply lean on him and he'll go down.

One thing you don't want to do in a fight is get tired. Even Foreman got knocked out by Ali this way...and so have others.

Haye isn't known for his chin or his stamina and he is still healthy and in his prime. He's been down and out by?

Prime David Haye who is healthy and shows up in every fight in shape. Out in what round?

Maybe this was some "hometown cooking"

 

I like Haye as boxer but to tell you the truth there is no way Haye would last 4 rounds with Tyson!!!
When it comes down to power, speed, skill and chin Mike Tyson has all those major boxing attributes over Haye

People tend to forget the bombs that an unfocused Mike Tyson took against Douglas a 6'4 245 pound HW! Even after all those bombs Tyson still had the power to put Buster on his ass in the later rounds!! At 6'3 220 Haye would have not been able to keep Mike Tyson from off of him!!!

BTW I think this is more of a U.K vs U.S.A thing for you...........:-(

 

Exactly

Tyson has no chin.

And for damn sure no heart.

He bagged JOE CORTEZ to lift him up when McBride dropped him.

I mean WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

 

There are a lot of stories from that one. From Tyson not wanting to fight him (but not from Tyson's mouth so I need to hear it from him)....to Foreman not wanting to sign a Don King contract which I do have those words from Foreman's mouth.


OK, if Haye fought that version of Tyson...a shot fighter who had drug problems...I'll give you that.

But if Haye can be KO'd by who he fought while still being young/prime...you don't think a young/peak Tyson could do it?


Tyson took beatings before he went out. And he didn't even train right for the Douglas fight and took harder shots for a longer period of time than a trained David Haye who fought a CW when he lost.

You had to keep on him and keep beating him down. Well, up until Lewis got done with him and then there was just nothing left. Nothing left from what was already a shot fighter that was a shell of himself. Even Lewis called Tyson a "has-been" but did give credit for Tyson's abiltity to take a shot for as long as he did. Lewis said his hands swelled up for the first time in his career.
