    I think Mason could beat Haye personally I don't necessarily agree with the comments here.

    Yes Mason was a bit crude but he had a very good chin he was never off his feet as a professional and he took Lewis's best shots.

    Mason also had over a 90 percent stoppage ratio.

    I'm not that sold on Haye he has quite a forgettable resume and whilst his win over Chisora aged well. I still think Haye gets a bit overrated his chin and stamina were a bit suspect and whilst he had speed, athleticism, his actually boxing skills were not of the elite level.

    If Mason doesn't have the eye problems against Lewis he probably goes the distance and gives Lewis one of his toughest fights.

    Yes Lewis was a bit green but he still hit very hard and I was impressed with Mason's durability.

    All in all we don't know what Mason's true ceiling was his career was cut short from having a detached retina.

    But I guarantee Mason would give Haye all he could handle and he has the power to get him out of there aswell.
