    Does Hayes toe hold up or does he get slept by that right hook.

    Whyte gives anyone a tough nights work but the Haye that knocked out Chisora would chin Dillian as well.

    Great blend of speed and power.

    A prime Haye would bang Whyte out.

    Haye in his prime beats Whyte who's chin and average stamina would get exposed

    Haye by ko... He gets so underrated nowadays.... Fair bit to dislike about him (toe excuse, pulling out of fights, etc) but he was a great fighter and the version that smashed chisora would wipe the floor with whyte

    Haye by brutal KO.

    Other than Fury, there isn’t a man in the heavyweight division that would have beaten a prime Haye.

    I just wish we got to see a prime Haye vs AJ. AJ would be having nightmares for weeks. Stylistically the worst possible match up ever for him.

    A prime and fully fit Haye banjo's Dillian.

    However, we very rarely saw a prime and fully fit Haye in the ring.

    The pull outs and injuries ruined his career in the end at HW.

    I would have strongly fancied Haye to beat him in first 6, but if he didnt Whyte would give him issues in second half my leaning on him as he slowed down. I think Whyte is to easy to hit and Haye would have got rid of him before it was an issue.

    I like Whyte because he has made the most, if not more, of what he has at his disposal.

    However, Haye at his peak would be too fast, too slick, too crafty setting traps and once in that trap, then BANG! and Goodnight.

    One fight I would really really loved to have seen would have been Haye v Povetkin when both were prime.

    Pure war!!!
