    Yep, Enzo part 2...I think Bellew had a rare moment of honesty and said he(Haye) was the better fighter, just not anymore, but I cant find it...I may have dreamed it, but **** it its true anyway

    Not good enough.
    There’s nothing that indicates that he’s able to catch someone with Haye’s movement or defend himself against someone as explosive, precise and throwing from odd angles.
    Wlad’s punching and timing, let alone footwork, boxing iq and ring generalship was far superior than Wilders will ever be and look what he had to do to win. No chance windmill can pull that off.

    Haye was scared shidless of old stiff arm puncher Vitali K.....whose TKO 9 and TKO6 are his best "wins"...he instead aimed for his glass chinned brother.

    haye was absolute crap at Heavy.......his so called "power" was a no show.....Tua waxed a fresh Ruiz with ONE shot while Pinky Toe clubbed and clubbed for almost two thirds of the distance with the absolute shell of Ruiz.......

    He was dead afraid to engage with ultra safety first WK.....who in his prime was starched by complete ham and egger.......but Haye ran like a rabbit, he barely won any rounds.

    Haye sitting on the outside feinting and lunging in gets him ko'ed....rather quick, he is packing genuine glass......Wilder is not timid and he lets his hands go and if he can put the 260 pound 6'8 so called boxing genius Tyson Fury on his azz and almost out he will send Hayes head into the orbit.

    I’m sure Bellew said it loads in the build up to both fights

    Haye before his right shoulder exploded was a genuine concussive puncher. He could punch with both hands too - he badly wobbled Valuev in the last round of their fight with a left hook. If he lands on WIlder it's game over.

    However, the same holds true for Wilder. Haye would not take the Wilder right hand.

    50/50 fight IMO.

    Yes he was.

    A prime haye was a beast. One of the best cruiserweights of all time. I'm not saying he was the best technical boxer that ever lived, But compared to wilder lol he was levels above.

    Wilder has never fought anyone who would bring it like haye. Haye would spark him and do it early.

    Valuev was 7ft tall and klitschko was an elite level fighter that was a master of the jab and grab. And although haye was shut out against vlad he was never in trouble.

    Wilder does not have the boxing skill to beat haye, he doesn't have a stiff jab and he has no inside game. As soon as haye closes the distance and puts it on him its all over.

    Contrary to your deluded fantasy world Haye never"brought" it against "ANYBODY" at Heavy.....he ran for his life against his two best opponents...end of.

    Haye at Heavy was a fraught. Full stop.

    Haye never ever ko'ed ANYBODY on the top level at Heavy.....his claim to fame is out pointing the Missing Link in a stinker who a stone old Holyfield should have gotten the nod over too.

    Prime Haye was a good fighter, but Wilder would likely KO him at some stage in the mid to late rounds. Deontay would go for the kill more than WK did so that gives Haye a bigger chance too, but Deontay's right is very dangerous with that leverage and I'm not sure how good David's chin was at heavy.

    David Haye was an ambush fighter who was having a tough time with Chisora beofre Del Boy walked into a combo face first

    Wilder will stay on the outside doing noting before he walks into Haye's ambush. Its not Haye's style to come forward and try close the distance , but if he does it will favor Wilder who will be looking for the opening which he would probably find eventually

    Wilder knocks him out...Haye doesn’t want any smoke with a puncher like Wilder.

    He banged Chisora out if I remember. The only guy he lost to at heavy was klitschko and the only reason he lost of because Wlad was far too big and shut him out with his jab and grab style.


    Styles make fights and Wilder would be smoked inside 6 rounds. He could not shut haye out like that, he has no jab or any ability to fight in the clinch.

    Wilder is just garbage, any decent heavy would beat him.

    David haye funnily enough has probably a better heavyweight resume that wilder has and he only had a handful of fights and wasn't even an hw
