    David Haye beat the worst heavyweight champion of his day by getting on his bike and barely fighting, an old caveman, A-Farce and then lost in embarrassing fashion to Wlad. How can you make a case based on that resume for him doing anything at HW? Not to mention the fact Vitali would have utterly manhandled him in a fight.

    I believe Haye could have won a decision against comeback Vitali.

    Prime Vitali vs prime Haye 50/50 for me

    Herbie hide? Come on now. Yes he may catch Haye, but 9/10 Haye wins

    we are talking about Vitalis resume here

    In my opinion prime Haye beatS everyone minus old Lennox.

    The lack of depth in Vitalis resume is shocking

    I'm saying Haye didn't show us enough at HW to know if he could do that. Herbie Hide could have starched him for all we know, as Haye didn't really do anything of note at HW and already had a shaky chin at cruiser.
    If you're trying to make the case that VK's record is weak I get it, but Haye's is abominable.

    Haye-Hide would be a great barn burner.

    Do you think if David Haye was Prime Minister instead of David Cameron he would have fought a war and won it against ISIS by now? I think yes.

    Is there anything Haye couldn't have done. If only England had picked him to play in 2010 and 2014 they would have two World Cups by now.

    So the cliff notes is: No, Haye could never have matched Vitali's resume. Haye was way too distracted, disinterested and lazy in the sport.

    Sanders has the style to beat Haye.
    His handspeed could match with Haye,he was a great counterpucher, and had a good chin.

    I see the 2003/2004 version of Sanders winning vs Haye 9/10 times
