    Haye, cause he wasn't just some random journey man from back in the day.

    Haye because he once shared a ring with a good heavyweight. No other reason.

    Agree...but 'back in the day' carries a lot of weight. I admit if it wasn't for box rec I would have though Henry Cooper was up there with the big HW's(like all casuals do)...but we know better...but for the sake of the discussion I'm saying cooper. Cos he's cooper. Did you see Haye eating Shredded wheat? No! Job done.

    I think the same could be said for Cooper.

    Haye never wore Brut. Eating shredded wheat, and wearing such manly aftershave gives Cooper a definite edge, but doing adverts for the flu jab evens things up.

    Yeah but Haye came close to winning even with a broken toe. :-(

    If only he had thrown one or two punches...

    Hayes broken toe vs Coopers easy bleeding?

    I know a bloke who drank a bottle of Brut, hospital job but still a legend. Shaggy trumps both. :deal

    I'm making no analysis on this matchup, but Coopers level of competition is being grossly underrated.
