    Most likely the fight would be in Britain, & just like Lewis-Bruno, both would be allowed by the referee to be very dirty with their holding & hitting rabbit punches. :lol:

    Bruno by stoppage.
    Bruno stopped better heavies than Haye did , he is more proven , both his chin and stamina are underrated . Bruno also somewhat bigger than Haye .

    Bruno outboxed Lewis. I cant remember too many doing that.
    Bruno also rocked Tyson in the first round, Other than Tucker i dont think anyone did that.

    Im picking Bruno, hes overrated, and underrated :)

    Haye is good dont get me wrong, but Bruno can box AND hit hard.

    The question is, who runs out of gas first and whether either of them can take each others punches....

    I reckon Bruno wins on points against a retreating nine-toed Haye.

    A ten-toed Haye KOs him in 1 round.

    I think there is sufficient proof that Haye's toe wasn't in prime condition. had they fought as early as 2007 then Haye's toe would be perfect.

    Or you could make the argument Haye's toe is simply glass.

    Toes are often the first thing to go in a fighter. And they can go overnight too.
    No one can deny that Haye's little toes were granite in some of his previous fights. There was no doubts about his toes, but some fighters lose their toes at age 30.

    The Haye who fought Valuev and Ruiz had ten toes of steel.
    In 2011 he has nine steels toes and a little shattered glass one. For a man of his style, that translates to being a totally shot fighter.

    Wladimir's own longevity is dependent completely on the extraordinary longevity of his own toes.
    Also, he's been lucky fighting in a weak era and cherry-picking the guys who toes are slipping.

    It's not rocket science.
     
  7. how would haye go against a prime bruno?
    would bruno be too strong for him?
    would frank succumb to the 'hayemaker'?

    Haye wins easily, Bruno is just too slow, his reflexes were average and his chin is no better than Hayes.

    Haye would outbox him. If Bruno connected Haye would be stopped, but I doubt Bruno would connect.

    loving all the 'black n' white skill n' grit chew steaks n' spit em out' versus 'strength training size rose tinted glasses nostalgia' conflict this fight has created.

    David Haye could not do what a ancient 47 year old, shot grandad Holyfield did a year before him And outbox fat old stinking DonKing-puppet paper champ Bigfoot ValuBum! Haye lapdogs sky sports scored it for ValuBum. I am kinder to cowardly fraud Haye, I scored it a DRAW.
