Previous to the Ruiz fight i would be uncertain to the outcome . I think now it appears Haye can punch at heavyweight and his chin is upgraded from glass to suspect he may come away with TKO in like 6-8 if he goes in hard.
Bert Cooper would get beat of course, but Cooper was a good fighter...his fight with Holyfield is one of the best HW fights i've ever seen.
true but that was an overtrained holyfield who fought the wrong fight, brawling with cooper and trying to get him out early that said cooper did amazing with the biggest opportunity of his life, knocking holyfield down for the first time and proving he was a test for any heavyweight of that era the cooper of that night knocks haye out, the cooper of any other night gets knocked out
when i saw the title i was gonna write a smart ass comment like "frazier?! he couldn't even beat smokin bert cooper"
The post is premature. The fact is we just don't know. Haye has yet to fight a heavy that can punch. His last three wins were good, but all of them were old veterans on the verge of retirement. And none of them could punch at all.
