    If Haye was the same age as Wilder and turned pro the same year as Wilder, would he have eventually have moved up to heavyweight and how would he have fared if he did? Would Haye have met Usyk during a career at heavyweight or cruiserweight, how would that fight have panned out at either weight or both?

    He would have talked himself into fights with Fury and AJ anf conned the brits while avoiding Usyk at cruiser.

    I don't think he would have faired as well at Cruiser if he tried to run the gauntlet there. He'd be a top 5 fighter at heavyweight and maybe the stars would have finally aligned for a Fury fight which he would lose. Everyone is gonna say he destroys AJ and Wilder but I think more often than not he loses to them as well.

    I liked Haye but I cannot think of too many eras where he would have been anymore successful than he was in his one.
