If Haye wins against Fury, where does this place him in the HW ATG top 20?

    I'm OK with that. It's possible that H2H Haye would put up a good fight with some of the greats of the past who were closer to today's cruiser weight, perhaps win.

    Speaking of current HWs who have moved up, I wonder if Haye and Uysk will ever fight, if so, when and what might go down. I wanted to see Haye - Povetkin get made, but both just drifted into chronic inactivity. Haye at 33 or 34 or whatever he is, still has time to improve his historical standing at HW. So in that sense the Fury fight is pretty significant as a fight he really can't afford to lose or look bad in.

    When you add in Haye's 100 (100 KO's) -0-0 hypothetical record to the Fury win you'd have to say at least top 3 minimum.

    It places him somewhere behind Valuev still.

    Hayepothetically speaking David beats any heavyweight that ever lived and a win against Fury puts him right up there with the greatest of all time.

    Realistically speaking however, Haye is irrelevant at heavyweight as his cv sucks balls and he never ****ing fights.

    Next question...

    I wouldn't writing Haye off just yet. With Vitali only one fight left to go, his WBC belt will be up for grabs next year and Haye will be there to get it rather sooner than later, if he beats Fury that is.

    I realise this is probably trolling but if you are rating Haye that high h2h does that mean Wlad is the HW Goat in your World?

    I think Haye would be a puzzle for Holyfield as Moorer was
    - :rofl holyfield and moorer KO him

    I think Haye would have been a good win opponent for Lewis similar to Tommy Morrison.
    -he would be ko's by lewis too

    I think Haye would have wasted prime Michael Grant
    -thats not even a given.....Haye has beaten 1 guy in his prime and that was chisora who had lost 3 of 4 fights :lol:

    Foreman could have knocked Haye out but the much faster Haye should have been able to UD him.
    - youre right about one thing...Haye would run from an OLD Foreman

    Haye hasn't lost to any other fighters sans Klitschko today.
    - he hasnt fought DICK thats why :-(

    I think Haye could beat Vitali today.
    -too bad he has pulled out of 3 fights with him...guess you will never know :deal

    I rate Wladimir in the top 3 h2h all time sure!
    - youre a noob

    I said "top dozen" is most likely seating.
    - a dozen guys in the 1990s would have beaten Hayes a$$ :deal

    :hi:
