    tucker took some big shots of tyson and never looked like touching down, so i dont think haye would do any better, tucker stops him in9.

    I have absolutely no idea what I will think in a few years time, given I don't know what Haye will have done if much else by then, but I believe Tucker may have been Tyson's best test pre-Douglas. This guy could fight. He could punch and he could take a punch. He went the distance with a prime Tyson and gave a fine account of himself in the process, caused Mike some problems and didn't get destroyed. I would bet on him to beat Haye at this point.

    The reluctant Tucker would destroy the farce that is Haye. Haye shits his panties and quits after the 4th.

    Tucker would be comfortably outboxing Haye, who has poor defence & often throws sloppy, wide, crude punches.
    When TNT lands a flush bomb, such as the huge uppercut which lifted Tyson off his feet, Haye would be sparked.
    Tucker KO7.

    Anyone who discusses a "possibility" of Haye getting a stoppage needs to move to the General Forum.

    Haye is a better fighter, but in 1987 Tucker was big and sharp. I pick Haye by decision.

    Are you kidding? A-Force only landed ONE JAB on that 210-pound Willie Pep!

    He's probably one of the ones who thinks Tyson fought nothing but bums, maybe that's why. Tyson doesn't get credit for anybody he beat in the 80's according to Teddy Atlas, Ron Borges and all the fans who take their words as gold. But it's funny because when Douglas beat Mike Atlas glorifies the victory and makes it seem like Douglas was better than everybody Tyson fought.
