Holyfield, he would have a hardish 1st half trying to get to haye the he catches him up and prob stops him in the next few rounds
That's what I'm thinking , Holyfield is an ATG who was tough as hell and dosent know how to take a backward step and haye has power and speed granted but would never be able to keep Holyfield at bay for 12 rounds even with his hit and run style . Holyfield ko as soon as he tags haye with a couple of shots .
I have stated that Evander Holyfield would win via 8th/9th round TKO. But for everyone making out like this fight would be some kind of a walk over for Holyfield are discounting the facts. David Haye has the power, speed, and accuracy to land on Evander Holyfield. David Haye is one of the most defensively allusive Heavyweights of all-time, when he wants to be. The one positive thing you can take from the Waldimir Kiltschko fight.....is that a 6"6 Super-heavyweight who is fast, has great co-ordination, 3 stone weight advantage, and great ring generalship..... Could hardly land upon David Haye with any real consistency. And David Haye was not in 100% condition this is just a scientific fact, he could not train at optimised levels for 3 weeks leading up to the fight. Evander Holyfield does not have a 3 stone weight advantage or height and reach advantage. David Haye is up for these kind of fights. This is a better match up for David Haye than Lennox Lewis. It would be a competitive fight, and as the fight goes on and Haye struggle's with the pace. This will be the only time in that Holyfield starts to land more than single punches, but early on in the fight! Haye would land punches stun Holyfield, more than Holyfield stuns Haye. But all of the time throughout the fight, Holyfield would land more jabs...... And then the wheels will start to fall off for David Haye, and the engine and Holyfield's own speed will get to David Haye. At a intense pace, i think David Haye falls apart after 6-7 rounds. Its just his body type, it's nothing to do with conditioning. David Haye is like a specific 100m sprinter, where as Evander Holyfield is like a 400m sprinter, not as explosive but still pretty fast and powerful! With immense speed endurance. David Haye will be beaten into submersion via the 9th round........."Adam Booth throwing the towel in".......But it would be a total war. Any-heavyweight from the 90's in the same size Demension of Haye, Haye would blast out. Haye would blast out Herbie Hide, Michael Moorer, Tommy Morrison. His too Toughest fights would be with Ray Mercer and Evander Holyfield. I think he would **** up Ray Mercer aswell.
it would be a good maybe great fight at both weights but i fancy holy all the way yer cant say haye is an atg. he never did anything great even at cruiser. holyfield on the other hand established his greatness at cruiser. he was only a novice when he beat an established excellent champ in dwight muhammid qawi who did haye beat at cruise of any significance. dont get me wrong i think haye has shown signs of being great but he hasnt done anything yet to establish it
Excessive head movement out of range isn't and shouldn't ever be considered 'defence'. Haye has literally nothing in this fight.... second best at both boxing and slugging.... and lower in every attribute out of ten - including power.
Is this some sort of JOKE? Haye wouldn't have lasted 6 rounds against a prime Holy. Using a clip of Holy fighting Byrd when he was old and shot is idiotic. What has haye ever done at HW? Beat Chisora?? Who the hell is Chisora. A simple B level domestic boxer who NOBODY would have heard of if Wlad hadn't picked him out of the blue as an opponent. Without that stroke of luck, Chisora would still be fighting small hall shows. And that's haye's big win?? Holy was in with the best, and BEAT the best. Holy vs haye would be an epic mismatch. Epic.
