Haye by late TKO or UD. Hayes speed, power and foot work could be too much for Tuaman. I see Haye landing heavy shot and running to late stoppage or decision Tua might catch him on course of twelve rounds tought
If anything he's underrated so much it's crazy and if you check my post history you'll see I'm not even a big fan of his. I mean Chis Byrd handled Tua and I consider Haye to be a better H2H champ than Byrd, Peter, Rahman and the likes (B grade champions).
Underrated? People act like if a guy who's HW wins are beating a few shot fighters (one of them barely, one of them he got dropped by too mind you) is the best fighter either Klitschko has ever faced and/or that he's legitimately in the same conversation with the Klitschkos while guys like Adamek are far behind. His detractors will underrate him sure but it's not remotely as bad as how his nuthuggers proclaim him to be so great.
Neither is he so great nor is he a crap boxer who'd get iced by Tua in 19 seconds. H2H I rate him as follows: Rahman, Maskaev, Sanders, Valuev, Peter, Tua, Byrd<<Haye<<Klitschkos, Lewis Tua is a third tier HW champ (without ever having won a belt...) in line with Peter, Byrd and the likes. Haye is a step above him (H2H only!).
I dunno... if Haye uses his speed and height/reach advantage I could see him pot shotting his way to a UD, Tua can't box to save his ****ing life. However if Tua catches him clean more than once, especially early, then it's over.
hahahaa Loving the poll results. Haye is a better boxer, but a fight between to power punches. Tua hits harder and has a solid chin. Hayes power at Heavyweight is overrated, nd his chin is poor. I like haye, but Tua is as stylistically wrong fr him as it gets
I don't think he ices him 19 seconds in Ruiz-style but it could happen and it certainly would happen imo before the fight is done. Stylistically Tua is just going to kill Haye, one bomb and the ducker is toast.
Haye would run the whole fight and try to outbox Tua. That might work for a couple of rounds. But the first time Tua connects, and Haye is relatively easy to hit and has a sloppy defense, Haye gets KTFO. Tua KO8 Haye
You guys are acting like Tua is this masterful fighter, he isn't. He's a one trick pony, I.E. his left hook. Haye would get KO'd if he connected, yes, but IF is the keyword. Hayes footwork and superior speed would be the factor here.
