I have always been team Hayemaker, LOVED his Cruiser run...for real. But prime Tyson would annihilate David in nasty fashion. Imo, and it's not meant to be a knock, I have love for all boxing fans, but I believe one has to be at least in his 40s to have truly been there to know what it was like when Mike was truly a beast to behold. Not a knock on younger fans, just an impression I get...
Mike Tyson would knock haye out as fast as Bruno. David haye was never near Tysons level. Post prison Tyson knocks haye out too.
Which was prime HW Haye? The one who fought Monte Barrett? Or the one who fixed the fight with his friend Audley Harrison? Or the one who was gassing against Chisora before the KO?
I honestly believe any version of Tyson including the one from the sparring match with Sanders in 96 beats Haye
Mormeck almost KO'ed Haye, prime Mike decapitates him and this is from a Haye fan. Haye might drop a complacent Tyson early as Haye liked fighters to come to him and Haye would actually be a taller heavy for once but I can't see how he can keep Tyson off him. Haye's power is usually what keeps guys honest and give him space to work but Tyson is too durable and too aggressive to be made to stand off against Haye. Tyson is far faster than anyone Haye has fought, can cut off the ring better than Mormeck or Chisora who both got to Haye during those fights before Haye's power bailed him out from those tough fights. Can't see Haye being able to do the same, Tyson stops him inside 6 rounds.
