Is David Haye GREATER then Mike Tyson IF he beats Wladimir Klitscko this Saturday?

Foreman Hoooook :hat:rasta:hat

 

wlad win might b better than any other tyson win, but old ruiz, barrett, fraudley don't even stack up as 'good' wins. plus having thomas, spinks, old holmes as lesser wins than SNV is a joke

 

Haye is a fake hero.

 

Yes... Mike was always over-rated! Haye has real skill!

 

He might win, but you still will be ******ed.

 

Definitely NO.

 

no he wont.....

 

The question will be:

a) academic..
b) hypothetical.
c) moot.
d) conjectural.
e) all of the above.

 

He wont even beat Wlad anyways

 

First i thought - what are you talking about :-(

Then after seeing your list of the Tyson's win - well not impressive.
But Tyson was GREAT in evey way. Youngest champ as the much smaller guy winning vs big HW.......He set the HW scene back then.

But again - he also did lose every time vs the best ..:huh

 

If Haye beat both Wlad and Vitaly (by KO) then you can have a point.

 

Well actually Tyson fell short against his biggest opposition. If Haye were to win then that means he really stepped his game up when necessary, combined with his cruiserweight achievements and it's not ridiculous to put him in contention with Tyson's achievements. Remember, Tyson didn't fulfill his immense talent (as is well known).

 

NOatsch

 

mike was a phenomenon. the youngest heavyweight champion ever. haye would have to beat both klitschkos and then defend the title a couple of times before he can be considered to be in mike's class.

 

Beating Vitali after and then making a few good defences and you can then make this argument.
