    spinks is a better opponent, and therefore more dangerous. way more danger of losing to him.

    haye wasn't better, he is a soft option. less danger involved.


    I think you might be referring to the word fatter, being a person who thinks fat boxers are the best.

    Better doesn't mean more dangerous, Haye was a bigger puncher than Spinks and more DANGEROUS.... :hi:

    If he was such a big puncher, and knowing as we do that Wlad doesn't have the best chin, why did he just fight to survive?

    At least Spinks didn't run from Tyson. He tried.

    BTW

    Have you ever posted in a non Tyson thread? I only see you posting negative stuff about Tyson.

    Obsessive/Compulsive disorder should not go unchecked.

    Maybe Spinks was just as "dangerous".

    Let's not overrate Haye.
    His KOs of Monte Barrett, Audley Harrison and a washed-up Ruiz aren't any more impressive that the way Spinks destroyed Steffen Tangstad and Gerry ****ey.

    Err because Wlad himself carries dynamite in his gloves....

    Spinks tried?? :rofl:rofl he was like a rabbit caught in the headlights.

    You saying that makes me believe you only look into Tyson fantasy threads, typical nuthugger I'm guessing.....

    Re****ation should not go unchecked either, book yourself an appointment ASAP.

    he's not more dangerous, though potentially he could hit a little harder than spinks, being heavier. So could Butterbean, but he never had the skill to do it well with agood opponent. But clearly you think fatter boxers are the best, and Butterbean was cheated out of being ATG number one at HW.

    haye is chickenshyte. his reaction to danger is to run from it. haye would be pretrified of fighting someone with a pulse, and ran from good opposition, or from crushing defeats to guys who weren't much, or less. Haye was scared of danger, is what you mean.

    spinks on the other hand, had no trouble unifying LHW followed by becoming lineal at HW without balking once. His skills strike fear in men.

    Haye likes to punch on weaklings. theres nothing specially dangerous about a man who does that. t
    the word you are looking for is BULLY.

    Haye is an anti-hero of English boxing at best.

    Lets take it to the physical extreme - Earnie Shavers was reputed the hardest hitter in HW history. But he wasn't the most dangerous HW you could face, WAY WAY far from it.
