Prime Lewis - How does he beat Haye?

Wlad Haye is the best blueprint, only as stated above, Lennox would be more right hand happy. Lennox can win going backwards or forwards, inside or outside. He'd manhandle Haye in the clinch, and arguably Haye is one of the few fighters who couldn't match Lennox for stamina. Lennox's chin stood up to a lot, and the two guys who knocked him out were genuine heavies. He wasn't out cold twice either, as in the McCall fight it was a questionable stoppage. He fought bigger bangers than Haye many times, in Tua, Prime Vitali, Tyson etc.

Can't see a good argument for Haye other than once in a blue moon, he MIGHT land a good shot, and Lennox MIGHT not stand up to it. But you could say that about Ernie Shavers fighting Joe Louis. It means nothing in the order of who is better.

I reckon Shannon Briggs of that era would beat David Haye more often than not for what its worth.

 

No disrespect but that is a shockingly bad post.

Tua was never dropped as a pro and recognised to have one of the best chins around and you compare him to Haye. Haye did not jump on Wlad, he backed away and did nothing. He did not even jump on Audley until the 4th round.

Haye was knocked out by Jim Twite in the amateurs, dropped and badly hurt by Super Middleweight Lolenga Mock, dropped and hurt by Mormeck and is not even a good finisher. He rushes in winging when he has a man hurt, and sometimes it works (Enzo) and sometimes it smothers his own work and lets the guy off (Ruiz round 1).

Lewis was knocked out "cold" a "few times" was he? Name them. He was on his feet by 6 against McCall. So the only time you could have it, is in Rahman 1.

Lewis took flush shots from Mercer, Bruno, Rahman (excluding the KO), Briggs and Vitali. Genuine heavyweights with real power.

Haye would be destroyed everytime.

 

I would fear for Haye's health in this one. If Lewis lands the right-hand he landed on Rahman, he might take Haye's head clean off.

 

Duffy's a troll, no point replying to him.

 

Lewis KO1. Haye offers nothing to Lewis.

 

From the 90s, Haye fights more like Larry Donald and Henry Akinwande.

He took 21 opponents in total who were top 10 at the point, going 19-2 which is impressive.

The only thing is Haye style isnt much like the others he fought...closet being Akinwande who was a negative but hard hitting puncher..

 

:hi: Black2023

 

And did Akinwande drop Lennox? ;-)

 

Any way he chooses.

 

He would win by a right hand..

 

Haye has just been steeped in the Union Jack too long for Lewis to handle.
Haye KO4

 

Haye would do **** all for 3 rounds, while trying to avoid Lennox's jab. Then Lennox would get a bit bored and take Haye's head off.

Lennox within 4.
