    Both fantastic boxers in their own right and both ATG's but just how would these two match up in the squared ring?

    The above fight is a good indication I believe as to how the Haye vs Holyfield super fight would go. Chris Byrd was basically a poor mans Hayemaker minus the brutal stopping power of David. Byrd as we all know was a superb little defensive fighter, not quick as slick and fast as Hayemaker but very good never the less.

    Witness the slickness of Hayemaker above. Can Holyfield land against this?

    Holyfield's nemesis John Ruiz. Look how easily The Hayemaker deals with The Quiet man.

    Prime Holyfield was around 10-15 years prior to that fight Byrd fight :lol:.

    Prime Real Deal wins inside the distance against Haye.

    Imo Holyfield would have ground down Haye and stopped him late on, I know Haye can be slick but Holyfield had great ring generalship and would have cut the ring off making it hard for Haye to get comfortable.
    I still think there are question marks over Haye's fitness and this may have also been exposed against Holyfield who was always supremely fit.

    Big KO machine Klitschko with brutal stopping power couldn't even stun The Hayemaker yet Holyfield stops him? Bah, up your game lad. You can't hit what you can't catch.

    Yikes, mismatch, Haye an ATG? At cruiser maybe, not at HW. What weight they fighting at? Either way, Evander gives him a spanking.

    I voted Haye for a laugh.

    But I don't think this would be the straight-forward excecution many will claim, Holyfield at heavyweight is slightly overrated imo.

    Holy on points
