It doesn't matter in this case, as Haye is shot and injured all the time now. You saw what a former 175er in Bellew did twice and GGG punches harder than Bellew. Haye can come in as HW and GGG will still KO him with ease, Haye's achilles is gone
A healthy Haye would destroy GGG in 1 round. There's a reason we have weight classes. GGG might have a granite chin, but he takes punches from MWs. Haye would have a 65 pound weight advantage.
We're not talking about a healthy Haye though are we. He can come in at 240, he's still got a knackered leg and shoulder.
I know GGG hits hard, but you've lost the plot if you think he hits harder than Tony Bellew who is naturally like 3 weights above at cruiser. Also he ain't called the bomber for nothing....He has power. Not like some of the top heavyweights, but he still has power that should be respected, fighter or not.
Golovkin isn't knocking out HWs. He's not knocking out CWs. He's not knocking out the upper echelon of LHWs. He's a very hard MW hitter, and I believe his power likely transfers to SMW. Let's not get crazy.
A former 175'er is 15 lbs. above where Golovkin fights at. And like you said, FORMER. People grow. Bellew walks around at probably 220 lbs. I would be shocked if Gennady has ever weighed over 185 lbs. in his life. Haye is shot, but he also dwarfs Golovkin in everything. The guys thigh is probably wider than Golovkin's torso. Let's see GGG KO some LHW's then we will talk.
Haye over 4 inches taller with 8 inch longer reach over GGG and obvious weight advantage, has to be the favourite to win, Bellew was not giving away height advantage, had longer reach than GGG and was only 10 pounds less than Haye in his 2 bouts against Haye. So Haye wins in my opinion.
Haye wins GGG does not hit as hard as bellew this is getting daft lol next thread will be loma vs haye who wins
Give GGG a few fights against bums at LHW and CW, he could pull it off. Haye is a sitting duck, with no legs, he can't sit down on his punches to generate power anymore, and GGG is faster than Bellew, and yes, if he connects clean on the button, MW's or anyone else with a decent punch, can KO HW's. It would be similar to Cotto-Maravilla.
