    Ffs Haye at heavyweight ran away from Klitscho for 12 rounds when his only chance was to get in close and land a big shot. Coward of a man

    Haye was knocked out at cruiser by a fighter that couldn`t knock out Eubank Sr, who starterd his career at 160.

    Fury is harder to hit than Haye was, Haye was awful against his best opponent.

    Haye was glassy and lacked confidence at heavyweight. Wilder would ko him with the first clean punch he lands.

    Hayemaker by stoppage.

    Haye too slick, too coordinated for Wilder.
    Especially Haye's upper body movement which you'll need against a guy like Wilder

    This. Haye was on another level than Wilder. And when he hurts Wilder he’ll finish him. Haye was a NASTY finisher.

    Haye ko... He gets underrated cos of getting injured before big fights and toe gate but the truth is... Haye was a great fighter, good style... Legit power, explosive, fast and elusive... Handful for alot of fighters.

    No doubt in my mind the haye of the Chisora fight would have flattened bellew in one

    Haye already made Wilder quit and sent him home, so did Wlad. When your boxing skills are THAT bad...

    There's a reason why Wilder took 38 fights to fight a live opponent, has never attempted a unification, and his first 5 defences were amongst the worst a HW champion has ever made.

    They also have to give away tickets just to fill 7k seats LMAO

    The jokes write themselves when it comes to Wilder.

    Haye's reflexes were freaky and exceptional speed for a heavy, plus good stamina. I can see Haye easily eluding Wilder and catching Wilder with regularity to a mid to late rounds stoppage. Prime Haye would have been all wrong for any version of Wilder. Comeback Haye in his last few fights would have been KO'd by Wilder in the first few rounds, that's if he didn't get injured beforehand.

    People who base their decisions off a 60-second sparring clip are idiots. Have himself admitted that the sparring with Wilder was very even, and that the clip was designed to show Have doing well.

    The fight itself would be intruiging. Both would sit on the outside waiting for an opportunity to land a big right hand from range. It could be a fairly low action fight. Wilder has more power, more range, a better chin, better stamina. I'd favour Wilder moderately.
