    Haye isn't to gonna risk getting his glass jaw shattered before he gets his big payday against one of the Klitschkos. His handlers know he's one punch away from being exposed. This fight will never happen.

    Haye would never take the chance fighting Tua. The chance of him getting knocked out is big and there is no title on the line. I would be completely surprised if he fought Tua. Won't happen. Same as the chance Mayweather will fight anyone who is a risk.

    it would actually prove a hell of alot...i'd like to see Haye against a veteran heavy with big chin and big power and see how he looks...Haye of course whips Tua at this point, but i wanna see in what fashion does he get the job done...and Tua is still Tua, a plodding heavy-hitter with chin and his age won't change much about him except his punch output...this fight makes sense...

    I like this fight. Tua is past his prime but he still has power to KO haye. This would be a good win for haye should he defeat tua.

    This would be a HW version of Khan-MAB, 1 good shot would certainly take Haye out but....won't happen Hayes too skilled and to quick, Haye stops him, you ain't gotta be hurt to get stopped, that chin would just work Against him

    Tua usually wipes out guys who are not solid at heavyweight. He steamrolls them. I think Tua might easily stop Haye. If I were Haye I would never fight Tua.
