    This is one of these ones where you had to wait. Now we know. In Holmes, Norton went life and death with a fighter arguably better than Wlad. Haye just can't turn it in at that kind of level, based upon what we've seen.

    I don't know,...with that power of his, Haye could definitely pose a threat to Norton, but I'd be for Kenny all the way..I'd hope like hell that he'd do a number on that joke of a fighter. Norton, whether he'd win or lose, was by far the more significant of the two...with more massive accomplishments. I would hope that he'd find that fragile chin of Haye's and snuff him out.

    Interesting battle of glass jaws. He who lands first takes this one. A toss up for me, not sure who to pick.

    Haye has never demonstrated the ability to fight a give and take battle like Norton did versus Holmes..and by cowardly avoiding a face-off with Wlad for 12 rounds, he did demonstrate the lack of integrity that Norton always displayed..win or lose. Haye never had to deal with a seek and destroy monster like a young George Foreman, or a Shavers. I doubt that he'd have done any better than Norton against either one of them.
