    Lennox is proven, his power and yes his chin. Now yes he has been
    KOed twice from one punch flush shots. However, Lewis ate hooks from Tua,
    bombs from Mercer, a few good ones from Tyson, Briggs, Grant etc. I
    honestly don't believe Haye's power can Knockout and finish Lewis. Ive got
    Lewis KO 2. Haye would be making a mockery of Lewis outside the ring,
    Lewis shows who the real pugilist is.

    Haye the best counterpuncher in HW history? :bart
    Does he even have a countershot KO or knockdown?
    Doesn't have the power
    of say Rahman.

    Haye would not make it out of the 1st round even if Lewis had pneumonia & a broken leg

    If Haye actually TRIED to go out there and fight, Lewis would end it early. But something tells me Haye would be in survival mode from the opening bell, running, holding and doing whatever he could to avoid any danger, which tells me this turns into a snooze fest.

    Haye might last the distance if he fights very defensive like he did against Wlad.

    Tua and Tyson did not hit lenni enough. Tua was always slow while Tyson was completely shot.

    Lenni used his Height and reach advantage to perfection that a lot of inferior opponents were not able to land on him cleanly.

    But he did have a girly chin. No all time great heavy weight has gone down via one big shot to the face.

    Haye always strikes me as being in awe of Lewis while in his presence. It would be no different in the ring.

    He could run his way to a UD loss or more likely be sleeping within 5.
