    Povetkin as he'll fight anybody .Haye only wants fighters over 35 and has established himself as a piece of chicken**** in the rain.:-(

    David Haye is a far better boxer than Povetkin. He beats him in every single aspect of technical skill.

    This thread is a bit ridiculous, do you guys even know anything about boxing or do you just jump on bandwagons/hype

    Povetkin is better but Haye is faster and hits harder.

    Better Heavy is of course Povetkin.

    Better fighter is yet to be decided.

    As much as i dont like Haye i think he beats him handily i feel the 1st 2 rounds of the Chambers fight show Povetkins weaknesses i know he is a much more mature fighter since but i think Haye has the goods to beat him

    I don't like Haye but considering Povetkin has been wasting his time for the last two years I have to go with the guy that just took a HW belt from a 7' monster and then defended it.
    Not that I really think Haye is any better... in a H2H I see it 51% for Haye - 49% Povetkin at the moment.
    A victory over Javier Mora is far less impressive then even a win over an old John Ruiz.

    Haye is the better heavyweight. But Povetkin has the better resume. And yes, I know about the beast from the east in Haye's record, I just don't put much value in such a win.

    In saying Haye is the better heavyweight, I refer to a match up between the two. I think Povetkin gets hit too much and you don't want that versus Haye. Though if Povetkin managed to weather the first half storm... he'd have a great chance.
