    Haye. I'm not sure if he stops Wills or wins a wide UD but clearly the better, faster, more explosive boxer and ring general.

    And you base it on what? Have you seen prime Wills to call him slower?

    I've seen all the footage of Wills available. He's very slow compared to Haye. The difference in speed is huge

    Depends on Hayes' big toe. If he injures it during the ring walk his goose is cooked.

    You do realize that the available footage of Wills is later in his career and hardly prime stuff.

    Which of these fights are before he was over 30 and way past his prime?

    He was 32 against Firpo and Madden. So the same age as Haye was against Chisora

    Wills had almost 100 fights at that point, Haye had 32 fights in his whole career.

    Did the 100 fights deplete his speed and stamina somehow? What's the science behind that chief
