    He could beat them all except Lewis but Mason, Bruno etc would be a risk.

    Poor old Joe. Even though it calls for prime Bugner, people still seem to thinking of him based on his lesser performances. He just can't lose that reputation.
    The Bugner from the Joe fight beats Haye.

    If I remember rightly (and I might not), Mason, despite beating Biggs, looked absolutely ****ed after a few rounds. Big man with huge stamina issues. Haye would be too quick and would box the right fight to make it an easy night for himself.

    All but Lewis.

    Bruno would be 50-50. Both have the power to seriously hurt each other.

    All others would play into his hands.

    Haye is much better than what lots of posters here claim.

    I think he would beat Williams,London,Cooper,Mason and Hide but he would struggle with the others.Despite the Valuev win he finds it hard to cope with a tall fighter who can use the jab Bugner,Bruno and more so Lewis all fall into this group.Bugner outpoints him Lewis and Bruno both stop him.He would also lose to Akinwande.

    Beats most but has no chance with Lewis and you'd have to fancy Bruno as well- loook at Haye's heavyweight performances- how can you possibly say that it warrants any claim that he'd beat Bruno?

    Haye has been lucky to be good looking and articulate for a boxer. He has also been lucky in the ring. He could easily have been stopped with cuts against Fragomeni, everyone reckons he beat Valuev clearly but I bet not everybody thought that before the cards were read out. He did well against Mormeck but could have was heavily on the deck- and Mormeck aint no hall of famer.
    His heavyweight career has been pretty pathetic. Bruon would have coped easily with Barret and Ruiz. If Bruno could compete with aprime Tyson for afew rounds then I'm sure he could keep Haye at bay for a full fight and catch him as wel as his guard is poor.

    Not many of 'em. Probably London and Cooper, maybe Mason if he gets on his bike. Obviously Williams and Hide would be an entertaining shootout.

    All but Lennox.
     
  14. Bruno would have raped anyone Haye fought at HW apart from Klitschko.

    With ease.

    Haye doesn't hit that hard either. If you put him in with 'Spoon, Bonecrusher and McCall I'm doubtful he'd even go 1-2 as Frank did.
