    .. As he did Valuev? Same tactics? If Haye could hang around till the latter round then move in on a tired Frank?
    I's this a winnable fight for Haye.?
    Bruno of the Lewis fight.

    He’d have a chance yes but I probably wouldn’t favor him to do it. Haye was extremely unproven at heavyweight and if truth be told was overrated at cruiser as well.

    I believe this version busts Haye up very good and wins more rounds until 8 or so. Its either Bruno via stoppage until round 7/8, or Haye late TKO. But I don´t think Haye was big enough puncher to repeat a Tyson/Lewis kind of win.

    Bruno was very beatable, so I would say yes.

    Even though Bruno was slow, he would catch people and was able to hurt even iron chinned guys

    Hayes elusiveness and what not is overrated ... Unless he runs the entire fight and loses a decision he will get caught

    If Bruno thinks he can win, he will no matter what Haye offers. A confident Bruno could take Haye's power, and would not run out of stream, as the Bugner, Coetzer and Williams fights show he can carry his power if needed, providing he is easily winning.

    Bruno wins the first 4 or 5 rounds easily keeping DH on the end of the jab before Haye hits him flush with a right hand or left hook, fight wouldn't last too long after that.

    I think Haye’s best bet is to be in survival mode the whole time and just hope to find an opening.

    Bruno is not Wlad Klitschko.

    I wouldn’t be too certain of that.. Bruno took batterings from Tyson, Witherspoon, Lewis and Smith while fighting back pretty hard.

    He was mauled by Tyson and did well against Lewis until he got hit clean but yeah he did very well against Smith and Witherspoon.

    Haye doesn't hit as hard as any of those guys.

    Tyson, Lewis, Smith, and Spoon are all elite top tier punchers ... Hayes power against legit heavyweights isn't that amazing.
