He'd avoid and duck anyone with a pulse. Then he'd pull out of every other fight with some excuse. Answer is he would do not very well. He doesn't have what it takes to be a pro boxer.
He hasn't fought in 3 years and is coming off shoulder surgery that was deemed career threatening. I don't see him doing that great; he'd win some and lose some if he fought everybody in or around the top 10.
Should be favorite against everyone else but Wladimir Klitschko and Alexander Povetkin. He was really talented fighter. Fight against Povetkin would have been thrilling fight...
And that's why Haye did everything he could do duck Povetkin. Whenever he was asked about Povetkin 2008-2012 "Yes we have to see" "We're opengin minded about it" Yes, we're also looking at other opponents". Haye knew one thing and that was risk minimization. When did Haye ever take a risk? Twice. When he went to fight Mormeck in France and went life and death with him. And when he went to Germany to fight Wlad and embarrassed himself. Every other fight in his career was carefully planned and chosen for minimum risk.
I would also classify going over to Nuremberg to fight Valuev who had got some crazy decisions in his favour a risk however I agree with your post in general
Yes like it was rocking when he was around. Haye was involved in some of the worst HW fights in recent history: Valuev, Klitschko and Harrison.
