David Haye vs Michael Spinks

I can't give Haye much of a chance here. Even if they opted to fight at cruiser weight ( a division Spinks never stepped foot in ) I'd still confidently pick Spinks. Michael had nearly every tool that made a great champion, ie, ring smarts, speed, stamina, chin, heart, power, generalship, etc.. Haye is a good "athlete" but his success as a "prize fighter" was the product of careful match making and a weak era.

 

Yes, Spink's first opponent ever at heavyweight and one that was probably still more formidable than anyone Haye ever beat. Who did David face his first time above 200?

 

Spinks should win, but Haye wouldn't be dead in the water.

 

Says it as he is underrating him to death.

 

Against the run of opinion I think this would have been a great fight at cruiserweight.

I don't think Haye would have fought scared like he did against Wlad as he'd be the bigger man. Spinks was class and would probably out point the inactive Haye but holyfield aside Haye had the power to potentially stop any cruiserweight in the categories short history.

 

Spinks cuts him down, making him look amateur.

His jittery movement , feints and awkward angles would have Haye swinging at nothing , getting ripped to pieces as he looks to re adjust himself.

 

Spinks would beat the **** outta that bum.

 

How is Haye overrated?

Hardly anyone has a good word to say about him or his abilities?

 

**** NO, Spinks had sparring partners more formidable than that clown, My toe my toe, Phuck Haye....

 

Haye is overrated as ****.

He has a quick and powerful right hand, and athleticism. What about everything else? His actual skills are not impressive.

 

This sums it up well enough for me.

 

I actually think this is a good fight. Spinks has the better resume but Haye is very fast and had an explosive punch. Draw your own conclusions.
