15 rds Dokes vs Haye

Haye by knockout or tko, mid-rounds. His range and power are far ahead of Dokes', and Dokes had a questionable chin.

 

Dokes would kick his a$$, as long as he doesn't run out of gas chasing Haye all over the ring for 45 minutes...

After the fight in which Haye runs more than Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump, Haye will blame his loss on his sore baby piggy toe, from running all over the ring like.a chicken....

 

I'd like to see it can't really even picture in my mind but one thing I know is Dokes on a good night would beat David Haye..

 

Haye is bad

 

Haye's a fraud. He's one of those athletically gifted freaks that are technically ****. He has speed, power and a killer straight right but that's about it.

 

Dokes,at his best comfortably outboxes the Hayemaker over fifteen. Mike was a very gifted boxer who,sadly,never realised his full potential. Like so many eighties heavies.


Merry Christmas to you all,by the way :good

 

Haye never really proved anything at heavyweight. And while his comp at cruiser was " okay " it wasn't particularly stellar either. I have to give Dokes the edge, though I never thought he was that great either.

 

I like Haye, I thought he showed power and speed vs Chisora and Ruiz and Valuev. Dokes was a solid Heavyweight with good hand speed combo's and movement and decent power. Guys are close in size, I think Haye would win

 

Dokes had great hand speed, toughness, decent boxing ability, and a good chin.He's more than a match for David Haye. Michael by kayo in 11.

 

A Dokes in top form wins this due to his much higher work rate. I have been distinctly underwhelmed by Haye who struggles to fight for the full three minutes of a round. Some of the 80's heavyweights were a class above in terms of ability and stamina and Dokes proved in his fight with Holyfield how competitive he was.

 

I would favour an on form and motivated Dokes here.

Dokes would outwork Haye, and make him fight at a pace he couldn't really sustain.

If Haye doesn't get a knockout relatively early, he is in trouble.

 

Dokes didnt accomplish much more than Haye at heavy, if that. At least Haye has a nice 200 pound career to fall back on and no degrading loses at heavy (wlad would knock Dokes out).

 

I think prime Dokes would quite possibly stop Haye. Haye has clear gifts but clear flaws too. He is a smoke and mirrors act largely, his HW resume is thin, he is a great self promoter but to coin a phrase "there is less to him than meets the eye". His punch resistance has never been great, he doesn't fight enough, just enough to maintain his celebrity profile here in the UK.

Surprisingly, Haye's style over substance smoke and mirrors act still fools plenty. This is probably due to the fact that he looks the part and has a few highlight reel kayos over sub-world class opposition.

Dokes was more successful in a more competitive era - he had flaws of his own (mostly coke based), but hung with better guys than Haye. His foghts with Weaver (2) and Holy (when past prime) prove his durability, stamina, seasoning, experiance and grit. His speed would offset one of Haye's assets. He could box well, was a decent puncher and is more proven.

I think Dokes wins either on points or fights at a pace Haye can't stay with and stops Haye when Haye has gassed.
