Ezzard Charles wins by TKO, around the 10th or 11th round. He'd just put a humiliating schooling and beating on the basic Haye.
Haye has been a big disappointment to me. At cruiserweight it seemed that he was willing to fight anybody, and when he stepped up to heavyweight I assumed that he would have the same mindset. He even made an impassioned speech after the Marcanelli fight, in which he urged other top fighters to take risks. As it turned out, he has always been looking for a short cut at heavyweight. If he can advance in the division without facing a dangerous contender, he will. A fighter ultimately chooses his position in the eyes of history. Charles chose to be one of th3e greatest fighters of all time, while Haye has chosen to be a footnote.
How do we compare one of the best pound for pound fighters with one of the most overhyped ? Seriously ? Charles would chop him to pieces and stop him.
Charles took Archie Moore and Joe Walcott apart..what the hell is Haye going to do? I think Haye might be able run for 10 or 12 rounds but at 15, Charles is going to time him eventually.
