    Who takes this one for you?

    I got a lotta love for Floyd and I find it bizarre that some don't see him as a great but how does he match up with haye.

    For the first time in his life haye would find himself against someone with quicker hands. Haye would be the bigger man and could take out Floyd with his superior power.

    I rate Haye quite highly h2h and I pick to take Patterson out within 5 rounds.

    Thoughts?

    Haye's too big and powerful for Patterson I think. He has the same dimensions as Liston pretty much

    Bit taller than liston and not quite as stocky but he's definitely the bigger man in this matchup.

    Floyd is the second youngest hw champ ever. No mean feat that.

    Patterson's great but Haye would KO Patterson every time.

    I´ll be honest.....I love PAtterson, but I would be worried, Haye could beat him, no doubt in my mind.....

    I know some don't rate haye but I think he's a brilliant h2h fighter.

    Haye's right hand is overrated. Ingo' hit harder.

    Floyd may be hurt early but he applied his speed so much better than Haye and his left hook trumps Haye's sporadically thrown right hand. Floyd is a better combination puncher, better balance etc etc etc

    Patterson by K.O despite Haye being a solid 210lb guy. Different levels.

    This may come down to who is more worried about the other guys power.
    If Haye plays it cagey then i think Floyd will tee off on him.
