It is not, in my opinion. Haye is a bit of a question mark at heavyweight, he didn't prove a whole lot there, but Patterson isn't a natural heavyweight anyway so it doesn't matter as much. Haye will be able to fight off the back foot, which he likes. Patterson the far superior combination puncher will put on the pressure try and make Haye fight faster than he likes. I would make Patterson a favorite, but Haye is a very live underdog here. He has genuine pop and is most accurate against come-forward fighters. Patterson of course a shade better than the likes of Derek Chisora. I don't think Haye can win a decision. He'll have to hurt Patterson and finish him.
I don't think so... I feel Patterson would beat Haye but I think it would be a good competitive fight that would go rounds if not the entire distance..
Floyd has the power speed ability to defeat Haye but Floyd did not relish getting in the ring with 6 foot 3 215lb fighters with power and handspeed. During his prime he avoided fighters with those attributes and instead took on short slow mediocre manufactured fighters like Harris mcneeley London Radamacher When Floyd fought fighters with height reach and power he did not do well Interesting fight
