    What would this Holyfield do to David Haye ?

    Things to also consider ..This was Holyfield's 12th pro fight ,23 yrs of age ,and the first time he fought a 15 rounder .Prior to that he had only fought 8 rds ..

    Haye is five inches taller and faster than Quawi. I don't see how Quawi is any better than Mormeck. I don't see Haye losing to Michael Moorer. If Haye can run from Wlad for 12 rounds without getting knocked out, he might very well avoid the toe to toe fight where Holyfield would kill him. I dislike Haye but there is no reason to deny his ability. Holyfield is an overachiever who absolutely maximized his talents and gave us incredible wars, but that shouldn't be confused with making him into an unbeatable fighter. Haye is a shady character and underachiever who may never maximize his talents, but talent he has plenty.

    For all the talent he has I really doubt his boxing ability and Ring IQ .And Michael Moore would have been a nightmare for him .

    And I can't believe that in the same the sentence you call Holyfield and over acheiver yet praise Haye on talent ..Shouldn't that be the other way around ..:lol:

    I don't think Moorer would be a nightmare for Haye. If Haye is both the taller and faster guy in a fight, he is hard to beat. Tough fight yes, but Haye is athletically superior. Moorer gave away the early rounds against Holyfield with his weird mental state and still won.

    A prime Holyfield was beaten by Valuev who was SOUNDLY beaten by Haye, Haye obviously wins by brutal KO.

    I think almost any version of Holyfield would be a nightmare for Haye. Even the Holyfield who fought Valuev would have to be odds on favourite to win.

    According to Haye he would be very competitive against prime Holy.
    According to me it would be a massacre with Haye being on the wrong end of it.
