    interesting. Id go with Haye, he hits hard enough to stop Bruno, but he also has that touch of class about him where Bruno was your more typical upright boxer, albiet a strong one.

    Both have **** stamina so ill go for an 8th round TKO for Dave.

    I've gone for Bruno, but it wouldn't be a huge surprise if Haye KO'd him.

    Bruno by KO he was a massive heavy and packed a big punch something I think we have yet to see Haye take, BTW Bruno chin is underated I never seen him Koed and was more repeated hits that stopped him. He did however freeze when hit but I think he has the tools to get rid of Haye in 6

    It's a difficult one, especially as Haye has fought one fight at heavy.
    The stamina issue is not a problem, as Bruno has worse stamina than Haye.
    If haye can box and move, he could stop Bruno in about the 8th, but it might be difficult to keep Bruno away.

    Going by the results so far, most people believe that Haye would rip through and KO a much bigger man, very Competitive past HW, and HW title holder.

    :think

    The only people that beat Bruno were genuine world class heavyweights. Very good ones at that. David Haye's chin, whilst not the worst ever, is not the greatest, and that's at cruiserweight.
    Let's be honest, a stiff Bruno jab would seriously bother Haye, whilst a huge right hand landed flush would put him out for about 20 minutes. David Haye could win if he boxed clever and go for a late stoppage, though.
    I'm a big fan of David Haye, but I'm not falling for this idea that he would just rip through everybody.

    Claypole - you are generally correct, but Bonecrusher Smith world class?!?

    Bruno was an excellent fighter, but had about as much ring savvy as Cristiano Ronaldo. I have never seen a guy school someone for 9 1/2 rounds and be KO'd because he failed to just hold on the inside. Surely he knew the guy would just come out throwing bombs in the last round?

    Haye has not in his prime yet at heavy, so kind of un fair but Haye wins this I think.

    The current Haye vs a prime Bruno would be a bad mis match with Bruno winning convincingly. Bruno was a top class heavy and world champ while Haye has had only one fight at the weight and that was a joke. We will be able to judge this better this time next year depending on how Haye does at heavy, he could be great or he could be embarrassing.
