Prime David Haye vs prime Deontay Wilder

Yep.

 

Wilder would duck him and Haye would be injured. Years long saga to make the fight ... which would fall through at the last minute even if it did get made.

Probably be a lot of social media bickering and pr stunts tho.

 

If it would have been anything like the spa it would have been rock 'em sock 'em robots.
Haye was better co ordinated and that might make him more difficult to hit with Wilders windmill style - i'd probably favour Wilder overall though he might have the odd scare. Wilder would only need 1 shot where Haye would need 3 or 4 maybe and Wilder despite his faults has been able to handle himself when hurt and survive.
Wilder by KO

 

Haye slaughters. Haye is the exactly type of boxer Wilder would struggle against. Quick and offensive with power.

 

If Haye can avoid Wlad ( whether people want to admit it or not an ATG) landing the big one on him, he can avoid everything Wilder throws. Haye stops him because he would land his arsenal before Wilder would ever land his.

 

Haye KO inside 6. Wilder is sloppy and easy to hit. Bad recipe against someone like Haye. Size wouldn't be an issue. Szpilka is around the same size as Haye and caused Wilder all sorts of problems.

 

This exactly. I think prime Byrd would also school Wilder for this very reason. That would be a sight to behold.

 

Whoever lands their bombs first would win. Haye’s fundamentals better but everyone’s fundamentals better than Beyoncé so not sure that is a relevant factor.

 

So do I

 

I know Haye was unified Cruiser champ and got a Heavy weight trinket against Valuev, but with respect to his skills / mouth he is easily the most underachieving British boxer in last 10-15 years IMO.

So disapointing, too busy trying to get a movie career and over-training etc.

I truly believe if Haye had spent less time trying to chase Hollywood and running his mouth off, and focussed on Wlad, he could have got the win.

Instead we got toe-gate (as much as I can imagine a broken toe probably does suck for a boxer, it's not exactly something u want to use as an excuse after a World Title fight!) then multiple injury pull outs!

Almost serves him right to have had the humiliation of ending his career with 2 defeats to Bellew

A focussed, prime Haye KOs Wilder in 8

 

Windmill struggled with OAP Ortiz's power and needed an extended break to recover.

Haye was way quicker and probably more powerful.

Haye tko's Windmill by round 5.

 

60/40 Haye.

 

Haye would be winning, but don't know if he could outmaneuver Wilder for 12 rounds. 1 bomb and I think Haye could be out of there. Wilder showed a decent chin against Fury so not sure his chin is as shaky as most people think either.

 

Wilder. Jab a blind man could catch, guard you could could drive a coach and horses through and falls across his own feet.
Haye. World Silver Medallist, multi professional Champion at two weights.
Haye would do to Wilder exactly what he did to Enzo Maccarinelli. Invite the mistake, the big launch and tuck him up.

 

Wilder knocks him out. Sure he can't fight off the back foot against a monster like Fury, but Haye was a counterpuncher anyway, he wouldn't be pushing Wilder on to the back foot.
