    Haye versus the greatest Cruiserweight of all time.

    Predictions?

    Holyfield would rip Haye at mid range and the inside, Haye would not like Holyfield's workrate 1 bit either

    Haye is knocked out in 2-3 rounds tops, he is a fraud The Real Deal destroys him.

    Holy would make Haye regret ever putting on a pair of boxing gloves.

    I guess the best version of Crusierweight Haye was Macrenelli. Evander was impressed as well LOL.

    I see Evander winning a technical decision, but if Haye gasses out maybe a late stoppage.

    Holyfield is under8ed as a puncher, but so is Haye.
    Also, Haye is under8ed as a boxer.
    Each could hurt/floor d other man and l8er finish him. Holyfield never fought anything like Haye @ CW, and while I can accept Qawi being considered as better than Haye p4p, Qawi @ CW was not as 4midable as Haye and was nothing like him anyway. And look @ Qawi vs Holyfield #1, if Whitaker was robbed vs Ramirez / Chavez / both , then Qawi surely won vs Holyfield in their 1st fight, but again, Qawi was not like Haye and it does not tell 2 much.
    What does tell somewhat more is that Bert Cooper was robbed of a stoppage win, and d HW world title vs both Moorer and Holyfield, in de same manner.
    It is not impossible that Haye could repeat Cooper's feat, just like it is not impossible that Haye would either gas out like he did vs Carl Thompson, or simply get punched out worse and quicker than Tyson got.
    @ 190lbs Haye is more likely 2 gas out, but might still surprise.
    @ 200lbs I would favor Holyfield but not as overwhelmingly as almost every1 else would .

    Probably a decent fight for the first 4 rounds and haye might have some success by stunning holy but ultimately he'll wilt under the pressure holy brings to the table.

    For the first time in his career haye will be up against someone just as quick as him. Vander will punish with those combinations and haye will be really up against it


    I imagine holy secures a standing stoppage after 6 rounds.
