    Holy was a better counter puncher than Haye.

    If AJ lands anything meaningful Haye would be out of there, he was stopped by a cruiser.

    Ortiz would have boxed the **** out of Chisora, Valuev and Ruiz wasn`t anywhere near Ortiz`s level.

    Carl Thompson shattered Haye`s jaw and couldn`t even stop the much smaller Eubank Sr.

    Haye had a better chin than Joshua, was a lot faster, and had more heart. He edges AJ in stamina, is orders of magnitude more mobile and power is about equal. AJ just has height and reach that's like his only advantages.

    Joshua is so plodding and robotic, he's no 2009 Wlad, Haye would surely lead him into a big right hand at some point and then he'd finish him. Joshua has no chin whatsoever and needs several hours to recover after being buzzed.

    Haye by easy KO, Joshua is trash, the most overrated heavyweight I've ever seen, Haye was overrated but he did have some good ability as well.

    No, Thompson stopped a totally gassed Haye, AJ vs Ruiz is a glass shattering

    How was he one of the best Cruiserweights ever? What justification can you use to support that?

    Haye has a chance against the static 250lbs robot version of Joshua. None against the more seasoned fluid Joshua of the second Ruiz fight.

    Against the first version, I wouldn't be surprised to see Haye drop or seriously hurt Joshua then get dropped himself. I see quite a back and forth war with Haye being the last one to hit the deck and stay there.

    Would he? I'm not sure he would be willing to face enough of the top ten for us to make that determination with any certainty.

    If Andy “The Obese” Ruiz sparked him, then Haye sure as hell has a solid chance too.

    Ruiz, Klitschko and Whyte say otherwise. Prime Haye would have an excellent chance at scoring the upset.

    Thompson hardly shattered his jaw
    Haye was gassed and had nothing left to offer and got stopped

    Not taking anything away from Thompson, it was a very good win at that stage of his career and his experience proved vital
