    I think a peak Leon Spinks wins by KO

    I think he would out work him from the start, and is better in every way

    I sure don't.

    This is the Coetzee fight all over again. Leon walks into the guy's power. And it'd be all over quick. He'd be fortunate to last as long as he did in the Holmes fight because Haye throws big shots and won't be boxing like Larry.

    Everyone hit Leon. Ledoux hit him and he carries his left hand at his kneecap. With zero speed even.

    Haye is the superior defensive fighter and has those good legs in there and circles and gets in and out. Leon fights on rr tracks and goes straight in. He was never ever going to last long as a heavy.

    A better matchup for Leon is a guy like Bobick that would have traded with him at close quarters and maybe Leon outworks him inside. But he may not be strong enough for Duane.

    Probably a fight Haye would win, by KO.
    It would possibly be his best win though. Toss up between Leon and Chisora.

    Leon wins on points, if he has his best.

    Cruiser weight was Hayes best division and even there he was about the same size or bigger than Leon was when he beat Ali. The fast handspeed, power and skill of haye would make for a short night..

    David Haye TKO 3 Leon Spinks.
