    Bruno wins by landing a jab.

    Bruno didn't come from the very greatest era but the 80's guys could fight.

    If you make a poll question, make also the poll!
    Haye easily, imo.
    Too elusive, and too powerful for glass jaw Bruno.
    The worst counter-puncher ever for him.
    Haye would probably carry him from the second round like he had to do with Barrett and Harrison.

    Bad match-up for Haye, Bruno knocks him out.

    Look at who Bruno lost to, Bonecrusher & Witherspoon late and Tyson & Lewis fairly early. I don't see Haye beating any of them.

    I picture this fight being kinda like the Lewis fight, I think Bruno would carry the fight for a few rounds but eventually get caught by Haye and finished once those big arms begin to get tired and slow.

    always bet against the guy who is a known excuse maker. Bruno brutalizes the fraud known as Haye

    Bruno knocks him out, Haye actually has a worse chin and worse stamina than Bruno, which is why whenever he faces anyone who poses a threat and who he can't just quickly KO, he get on his bike and throws about 10 punches a round.

    Show proofs of his weak chin.
    He has never been knoccked out. Thompson was a dumb fight, on wich he simply gassed, and still thomspon couldn't finish him off.
    He was also green, young, and weight cut, the natural division of a 6'3 guy certainly isn't cruiserweight.

    This is a great match-up. Someone definitely gets KO'd. Gonna pick Bruno base on size more than anything. I think Haye struggles to beat someone with that sort of size and power.

    To be 100% correct Haye was actually knocked out by Jimmy Twite in the amateurs. But that was the kind of shot that would put pretty much anyone to sleep, he walked straight into it, and it was what 12 years ago, back then he wasn't the boxer he is now.

    Any case, Haye took some solid shots from Wlad and seemed no worse for wear. Even though Haye has been down a number of times in his pro career, he has always recovered very quickly, he seems prone to "flash knockdowns" but doesn't seem to get badly hurt by shots. All told you have to say that he's got a pretty OK chin, certainly not glass or weak chinned.

    PS: Haye is too fast for Bruno and his size won't phase him. Haye wins.
