    I personally think Haye batters every HW other than Wlad at the moment.


    Who do we have over here in the US?

    Arreola?
    Mitchell?
    Jennings?
    Wilder?
    Adamek?
    Witherspoon? :lol:

    I'd give "Area around the nipple" the best shot.
    Chris can take Haye's shot & dude can punch.

    Chambers possibly, depends if Haye can land some flush shots though.

    I think Arreola has the best shot as well, due to his style and relentlessness. But he hasn't beaten a live body since he began his career. Plus, he did get dropped and legitimately hurt by Travis Walker. I don't know. :huh

    I would give best shot to the unified IBU, IBA champion James Toney

    best shot? maybe Chambers, but I dont think his chin is that good. If Haye connects flush, it would be game over. I also think haye's handspeed is just as good as Eddie's.

    Chambers lack of Punching power is exactly why I didn't even give him a second look in this thread. He has the skills... But yeah his chin wouldn't stand up to a "Hayemaker"

    IMO of course.

    I think p4p, Haye is the best HW, right now(just too small for the K'bros.).

    I think, when healthy, Chambers could very well out box him.

    I also selected Jennings, just on potential.

    Arreola would get the same ****ing fate Chisora did, probably worse.

    Flat-footed plodders are fodder for heavy-handed counter punchers. Especially when that flat-footed plodder has never turned up to a fight in shape, or given a good account of himself against anyone with a pulse.

    Chambers has the best shot. But still loses.

    Honeslty, nobody...I would give Eddie a chance but I think he would fall short because of his punch output...Haye is on another level compared to the American HW.

    No, Dereck Chisora is, but he's just too small for 6'3" Haye and others.

    I think Champers has the best chance... I think Haye would be too fast for Arreola

    I think Cris takes him in a slugfest. Unlike Wlad, Cris will make Haye engage.

    Chambers could take him on a good night. I'm not saying it's a given, but if they fight at range, his jab and 1-2 could carry the lulls Haye creates and swing some rounds to Chambers.
