A credible heavyweight who is tough and is the same size as haye. My pick is Haye by TKO round 8, but don't take Minto lightly David.
Actually Minto is 5"11 and Haye is 6"3 so hardly the same size, but in weight yes they would be roughly the same.
Haye by KO in round 1. Minto is tough against top250 fighters; he has no business to be in the same ring as a top10 fighter. Sooner or later he'll get knocked out brutally.
a shot former short time top 10 fighter you mean. krasniqi could have easily finished him if he had comitted himself to the fight.
That top10 guy didn't throw punches, so the fight was close. I scored it like the judges (116:111 or 115:112), others thought that Minto was robbed. But: Whenever that top10 guy threw punches he landed and hurt Minto. That top10 guy was knocked out in 5 against TT in his next fight. Although that top10 guy was rated somewhere between 8 and 15 that top10 guy was shot to pieces and would've lost against every top25 fighter.
Who is this top10 guy? Can't be Krasquitti because that guy was never even close to being a top10 HW, top 30 at best. Anyway, Minto is a bum, beating him means as much as Bonin.
Haye is calling out the recognized HW Champ, he has to make a bigger statement than ****ing Minto with his first HW fight. It needs to be a legit top 10 guy. Not someone who was top 10 10 years ago, and not someone who fought someone in the top 10 10 years ago.
This matchup is merely a what if thing, right? Surely, they are not considering Minto, after Haye told Wlad that he'd fight two top ten heavies first.
