15 rds Dokes vs Haye

I think Dokes was a more accomplished heavyweight than Haye was. He spent his whole career there and while the quality of his wins aren't much better than Haye's I'd still give him the edge. As for Dokes being knocked out by Wlad, well the only reason why Haye saw the 12th round was because neither he nor Klitschko were much willing to engage . That was a horrible fight from an action standpoint. But in any event, I'm not picking a clear winner. I will say however that on the night Dokes fought Holyfield, he gave a better losing effort than any effort Haye ever had in victory or defeat. Haye might have gotten knocked out by Dokes on that night.

 

I love that fight but I take it with a grain of salt too. Holyfield made countless fighters look great because he allowed himself to get hit and didn't punch back hard enough to take them out quickly (or at all). That version of Dokes definitely wouldn't beat Haye, as evidenced by what razor did to him shortly after. Prime Dokes would have a real chance, but I wouldn't favor him.

 

I think Ruddock hit a bit harder than Haye at heavyweight. And the punch that he caught him with was one of those signature smash left uppercuts. Also lets not forget that Dokes was 240 for that fight. Not something I'd use as a gauge.

 

Dokes is a cut above Haye, and his resume is actually a lot better than Haye's.
Even a 15-round Draw with Weaver is better than all Haye's HW fights combined.

I doubt Haye could beat Ocasio or Cobb either.

 

Ouch.

 

michael dokes no problem ...........even the dokes that showed up against holyfield woulda knocked out david haye ...

 

dokes had a questionalable chin???? :huh

 

Co sign, Cobb had a set of Ballz, which is more than i can say for Haye who ran from Klitchko like his a$$ was on fire, then after the fight took the cowards way out and blamed the loss on an ingrown toenail:huh

He would have been better at track and field, than boxing:verysad
