    Parker looked pretty handy the other day when he destroyed that useless big pudding, how would he go against the hayemaker?

    Interesting shout for a fight...

    We really have no idea what sort of shape Haye is in right now... His two fights recently have been a joke so I would go for Parker by late KO..

    With the extra weight I would expect Haye to fatigue

    I might be completely wrong though

    Interesting fight stylistically.

    Experience- Haye
    Power- No Difference IMHO
    Height- Parker
    Reach- Haye just
    Speed- Parker
    Fitness- Parker
    Footwork- Haye
    Headwork- Haye.... headwork? (<- insert rude comments below regarding Haye)

    It really depends on who turns up for the fight. Parker seems to enjoy fighting opponents that aren't covering up and bulldozing their way close. Haye on the other hand like to counter-punch and stay away from trouble. Hence stylistically is could either be a ripper of a fight or both will be very wary of each other. I'd tend to say the former, as Parker likes to engage, and has the speed to cause Haye issues.

    A year ago- Haye 75-25
    Now- a 51/49 fight to Parker- The extra 1% is because I support #TeamParker

    Parker has good handspeed for a heavyweight.

    Parker 1st round knockout. No doubt.

    I'd still lean towards Haye. He hasn't shown any obvious signs of deterioration yet and, at his best, he has the speed advantage and enough power to keep Parker honest. With his age and inactivity though, Haye will probably fall off a cliff at some point, so who knows?

    Tricky one to call.

    Parker will come to Haye which suits Haye as he prefers to counter, but Parker is less effective when pushed back and Haye isn't a pressure fighter. So neither has a style that bothers the other.

    Haye though hasn't beaten anyone decent in years and you have to wonder how much he has left as since his comeback he's fought nobody that Parker wouldn't wipe the floor with.

    I'd slightly favour Parker as he's shown better form recently and he's one of the few who can match Haye for hand speed. But Haye obviously is dangerous, he has serious power and could even KO someone at durable as Parker. Parker doesn't have great defence so Haye has a good punchers chance.

    Parker takes way too many punches, so you have to think at some point Haye would land a big shot. But like you say, Haye 2.0 has yet to be tested. It's hard to call.

    Parker looks pretty reckless at times, would go for Haye here by KO rounds 4 or 5.

    Hard to say, haven't seen enough of Haye with proper competition right now but he obviously has some experience and previously proven performances. I say peak Haye beats peak (so far) Parker, but we don't know if this is peak Haye.

    Parker has been clearly having a bit of an off-year and having issues implementing stuff from the gym in practice, both him and Barry have been a bit exasperated that he's not brought the gym form into the fights and they've indicated there is much more sitting just under the surface and I think we got a taste of that against Dimitrenko. He made someone who beat Pulev in a few rounds look basically harmless, the guy landed hardly anything on Parker and started getting desperate to find ways to win - or stop Parker winning, and still got pummeled.

    Parker is clearly still building, though - probably won't peak for another 6 years which is an exciting thought.

    Yes Haye is the one that would get knocked out by Parker in the first round if they fought.

    Are you upset over my opinion? Did I DO that to you? Haha try to get over people having different opinions, you'll enjoy life more.
