Haye vs Skelton ???????

i agree

haye would have to land flush and ko skelton to win .


if haye lands flush and skelton walked through it , skelton would proceed to do what he does best and would maul haye and tire him out.

 

You sure you watched it? John got creamed and suffered 3 brutal knockdowns in that bout.The 1st punch Skelton landed put Big John on the deck.Everyone is well aware that Skelton is crude even Skelton himself knows this and doesnt deny it.But the bottom line is he can hurt people and he continues to win. 21 wins with 18 by KO is a very nice record for a guy pushing 40.

 

I dont want to sound offensive, but im surprised at how some people on here think moving from cruiser to heavy is the same as moving from feather to super feather.

Lets name the people whove made the transition properly!!!!!

Hayes jab is wank, and his chin is suspect - not ideal for the heavy division, but then the bandwagon has to roll on, doesnt it?

 

That about sums it up!:good

 

Thanks for the link The Lads.

Skelton isn't a puncher. He just suffocates you until the only escape is the canvas. Rare you seem him shake a heavyweight. A fighter with a solid jab and stamina should beat him.

Whether Haye fits that catergory remains to be seen. Mormeck closed the gap effectively and worked Haye on the inside, Haye wont be able to nullify Skelton by pushing him back in the way he did Mormeck.

I'd back Haye's quality over Skelton will, but I wouldn't be looking for SKelton in my next fight at heavyweight.

 

Haye will be able to land at will against Skelton, and there's no way he will be able to just walk through them. Haye will stop him in four.
