David Haye v Riddock Bowe *prime* This content is protected This content is protected I fancy Haye to have a bit of luck here and possibly do well early on, but to eventually succumb to Bowe's strengh and power. What do you think?
riddick on form would decimate the haye we've seen so far. haye is still too sloppy, without the required stamina or durability to finish bowe. haye needs to up his game.
A *Prime* Riddick Bowe from around the first Holyfield fight is one of the best heavyweights i have ever seen, i just feel his prime was too short for him to be considered one of the best heavyweights of all time. I'd go for Bowe KO around round 4 or 5. He was a great in fighter but would just keep Haye at the end of his jab and have him down 2 or 3 times before stopping him!
I don't see any advantage Haye would have in this matchup. Bowe is bigger, stronger, a better inside fighter, better workrate, much better chin. Haye may have a small edge in handspeed, but Bowe had pretty fast hands for a big man. Haye's power is porven at cruiserweight, not yet at the elite HW level, both are good punchers though, not a clear advantage for either man.
