    Tucker by KO6

    Iron Cheen, way More power, more strength, Taller, longer Reach, Bigger ring IQ, Bigger Stamina, more ability.

    Not Hypeing up Tucker - just Haye is OVERATED.

    It's a shame that Tucker could n't have done more to Mike Tyson in the later rounds of their fight,what did in the first couple.

    Yeah. The 1987 Tucker was in a different league to Haye.

    Tucker was a terrific heavyweight. Underrated a touch, and he's actually well regarded.

    He stops Haye before 8 rounds are out.

    the same shot that rattled Tyson vs Tucker would flatten Haye.

    I said the same, Haye would be out for a count of a hundred from that atomic uppercut.

    Rudduck was shot when Morrison beat him and Tyson past his prime when Lewis and Holyfield got him. And out of that List Green, Smith, Tubbs, Thomas, Tucker, Biggs(at that time) were very fighers, Tyson made them look average. And Douglas was good too but he wasn't even the best out of all those fighters. AS for Spinks, he was also an all time great, and Tyson destroyed him, so quit saying Tyson didn't fight nobody.

    Lewis gets destroyed by a prime Tyson or Post prison, Holyfield gives a prime mike a better fight but would still lose too.

    Tucker would beat Haye, doesnt really matter how because Tucker could either stop him or outbox him. Tucker was very durable and the uppercut that lifted Tyson off his feet would have knocked Haye out cold.

    At this stage Tucker has to be favoured.

    Haye is a tremendous talent, but none of his fights at heavyweight have really shown me what I need to see yet, but I think we have all spotted his achilies heel.

    Tucker was crap but he'd beat Haye up.

    Realistically Haye would never even fight someone as good as Tucker, and Tucker was hardly good at all.

    Haye has no chin. He was ko'd in a Cruiserweight fight. No way stands up to 1987 Tucker.
