    Who wins this matchup? I favour Haye, but more importantly what are your thoughts?

    Usyk is far more skilled than Haye but Haye had more power, Haye`s speed would be a factor but Usyk would out skill him.

    I think this would be a very close fun fight. I would favor Haye as well, but not with enough confidence to put any money down. 50/50 for me, going with Haye by a hair,

    Uysk's game plan would be to stay away from that right hand while keeping in constant motion so Haye can't set his feet. I believe he would be successful.

    At heavy Haye was mainly a counter puncher although his footwork was good he never had quick feet.
    He’d have to chase Usyk and I don’t think he’s as effective being the aggressor.
    One thing Chisora obviously hadn’t learned to do was cut off the ring he basically pursued Usyk in straight lines, if Haye managed this it would increase his chances because he certainly possessed the power and hand speed to cause Usyk trouble.
    I’d go with Usyk to stay outside and unload enough of his flurries to win a UD.

    Haye might feel some vindication now:

    Usyk by narrow points win. I am not impressed with him at all as a heavyweight. But I think his busy workrate would probably earn him a close points win.

    Uysk can be hit... and hit clean.
    I think he's beaten better fights than Haye did at cruiser overall but head to head he wrecked Del Boy - while Uysk outpointed him...
    I'd lean towards Uysk and could see him stopping Haye who didn't have a great chin..

    Good fight - Uysk just.

    Haye is too fast and powerful for Usyk. He'll take him.
