    Lol I highly doubt it would go to a decision. Both hit too hard (edge in power to Tommy) and Morrison would take a lot of chances and go in for the kill if he thought Haye was even a tad hurt. I'd say Morrison by KO before the 8th. Maybe even having to get up from a knockdown or two.

    I'm to up in the fence to really choose a winner. While David Haye went relatively unproven at heavyweight, Morrison showed vulnerabilities against lesser fighters on too many occasions for me to confidently and comfortably pick him. I'm thinking its either mans fight.

    Weird matchup, my opinion flipped about Tommy when I found out about so many accusations about him using PEdS. I thought that was the Case after the post dx not pre dx. I really hate fcckin cheaters.

    What makes you think Haye is clean ?

    I am not saying he is dirty but there is no proof that he is clean either unless he admits it.

    Holyfield was /is dirty as they come but never admitted it, so , yeah, he is "clean".

    As far as the fight is concerned, if Tommy takes it serious that he will win.

    Haye does not have Mercers chin, so the running out of steam ain't working.

    Well, I don't think Lemmie Lewis would waste any time dispatching Haye

    Michael Bentt, ok, as mentioned above, al props to Bentt but Tommy really beat himself in that fight with the three knock down rule.

    On thing is for sure, Morrison has gotten up from some really big shots , think Razor and won the fight, Haye has never been tested by dangerous guys except WK and he went into running survival mode.

    Tommy WILL land and that will be that.

    IMO, Haye has average heavyweight power and good speed but Morrison has exceptional Heavyweight power in his left hook plus quick hands.

    Never said Haye was clean, but since im from the area that Morrison grew up it hits a bit more home. Having come to that lets just say prime for prime, if Morrison is crisp and CONSISTENT with the combinations , Haye wouldn"t last long . Haye was no Ray Mercer by any means IMO.

    PS dont get me started on HEadbutterfield, nevermind the synthetic substances, his skull is blessed with calcium. His head was his jab, Ive lost all respect for that guy.

    Most elite heavyweights are on PEDs.
    In fact most elite athletes.
    Anyone who thinks otherwise is probably just fooling themselves.

    ELITE PROFESSIONAL CHAMPIONS being "clean" is like Hollywood startlets being "all natural"

    It's a fight Haye could actually win.
    I'd call it 50-50

    Morrison would beat Haye to a pulp, but Haye would probably run all night long due to fear, so Morrison might have a hard time catching him, either way Morrison kicks his ass..

    I liked Tommy and I really dislike Haye, but realistically, Morrison is getting sparked. Haye trashed Chisora, who while not as skilled a pressure fighter as Tommy was alot more durable. Morrison is the type of guy who would box really well for a minute, than make a totally stupid mistake and get caught.

    I gotta go with Tommy Morrison I feel he was much better but as anyone who's watched Morrison's career knows he was very inconsistent I could see him having a much tougher time with Haye then he should maybe having to get off the deck a couple times to score a dramatic knock out and I could even see him getting caught and knocked out by Haye but I think Morrison was over all the better man in the ring and would probably be able to knock Haye out in about five rounds.
