    hell yea. Haye would have been completely spent by the 6th or 7th.

    Terrible style matchup for Haye

    It depends on whether Jirov could stay up for long enough.

    I do picture the possibility Haye could bag an early stoppage in this one...his explosiveness at the weight was amazing.
    But thats the only way he wins and I feel it is unlikely.

    I to think this is a terrible matchup for Haye...Jirov would just grind him down with bodyshots and workrate.

    Agreed.

    Actually, Juan Carlos Gomez is another tough matchup for Haye at cruiser. I think Haye can get to other cruiser titlists like Cole and an old Qawi, but matchups with the durable boxers types like Jirov/Gomez are going to be tough. Let alone considering a Holyfield at cruiser.
