    I like Bruno but this ones a bad style matchup for him. Haye would stay out of range from Bruno's jabs for a few rounds and then catch Bruno 3 or 4 rounds into the match. Depending on Bruno's recovery, this might last a few rounds more before the ref stops it. He does have very good power and a great jab, but Bruno is too robotic and slow to beat Haye. IF he had a better chin then it would be interesting.

    ps
    no Haye wouldnt .
    6 fights as a heavyweight in 6 years. Bruno was a real heavyweight with over 40 ko's. Haye wouldnt do jack sh.it except get rocked early and run the rest of the fight or get ko'd

    Bruno would have beaten Wlad IMO but Haye is all wrong for him.

    Bruno.

    He caught a lot of flack when he fought and people remember his title defeats, had that whole "lovable loser" label, but he lost to Witherspoon, Tyson, and Lewis, all far better fighters than Haye. It's not like he performed poorly in those losses either (except for the 2nd Tyson fight).

    The weaknesses that Bruno has in chin and stamina, so does Haye. Bruno's jab would give Haye all sort of issues and his power definitely would make Haye cautious.

    Bruno could get hurt somewhat easily and didn't know when to take a knee, he'd stand up and take too many shots and then get stopped. But Haye wouldn't take advantage of this like those other fighters did. He'd get stopped, or be so cautious and inactive that he would drop a decision.
