    Who wins this !!!!

    Morrison was great but never really the best in the division, Always lost to the best !!

    The same can probably be said of David Haye, great athlete/fighter but probably will never be the best in the division and will loose to the top guys !!

    WHO WINS ????

    To be honest, I really fancy Haye to beat either of the K brothers, people underestimate his tactical knowhow, will he stand in front of either of them? No, will he dance all night and unload only a few Hayemakers - most likely; If he gets caught he will probably go down like a sack of shite, but thats whats makes fights exciting isn't it? He has skills and power with suspect chin, but also ring smarts! - how can it not be good to watch?

    Realise I didn't really answer the question - I honestly havn't seen too much of Morrison - only going of reputation. (School boy error)

    :good I like this match-up, BIG WORM! Excellent!!

    From what I have seen (Thus far) from David Haye (Especially at heavyweight) I am going to pick Morrison via mid-late round tko.

    This has the potential to be a bone fide slug-fest!! And, as you rightly say both are (Probably) at a similar level, so I am basing my prediction on the fact that I saw the best of Morrison and imo "Prime" Tommy takes this.

    But it is entirely possible that we have yet to see the best of David Haye!! And if anyone wants to call this any other way I for one wont argue with them:).

    Absolutely right.

    Haye would beat Morrison 9 times out of 10. Bad opponent for Morrison.

    I'll take Morrison's picture perfect lefthook over Haye's haymaker anyday of the week.

    Either man can win this, it's bombs away. I rate Haye's power and i'd actually put a bet on a ko in his favour.

    Despite me picking Morrison via tko I can wholly envisage your scenario Teeto!

    One thing is for certain, it would have been a fire******* of a fight that would not have went the distance!!

    I agree, the fight doesn't go the distance but you have to favor the guy with the one punch KO's to his record. Tommy had that and decent enough fundamentals to get the job done.

    This fight could go either way, both huge KO power could end this fight in an instant... Morrison, though like to take huge risks/mistakes that resulted in spectacular KO wins and losses, which could make it very easy for Haye to take him out.

    Both showed tactical knowledge. Haye fought on the outside circling arround Valuev, outwitting the lumbering giant. Morrison ran from Foreman the whole night only for him to land meaningful shots from the outside instead of trading bombs. But Haye isn't as slow as Foreman, so this tactic won't work with Haye. Haye would be just too fast.

    I have to go with Haye TKO 5

    Great Matchup ...Morrison can destroy Haye wid one punch ...Haye can stop Morrison with a hayemaker ...altho ..Haye i dont think has faced someone that bobs and has the upper body movement (Tyson-like) like Morrison ....i see lots of shots missing and whizzing over his head ....

    I favor Morrison in this fight.
    Don't forget that Morrison has ben in with a lot of big names and/or big hitters. And his left hook is almost legendary.
    Like a few posters already said. If he lands it, it would be good night Haye.
    Of course there's a reasonable chance Haye lands first, only I guess Tommy wins 4 out of 5 times (all KO)

    Id go with Morrison in this one ....but after he admitted to juicing a lot during his career i wonder how much of him was actually fighting
