    I agree with what you say apart from Wilder, Haye would make Wilder look very bad if they fought.

    I seriously doubt David Haye can beat Joseph Parker or Anthony Joshua.
    He never beat anyone like that in his prime and he's not about to start testing himself now.

    His best win is Chisora. Everyone else he beat was an old has-been or worse. His performance against Valuev was similar to a 46-year-old Holyfield. There's nothing there to say he'd ever have beat a young, big, athletic, 'live' heavyweight with a punch.

    And now ?
    Not a chance.

    Haye didn't want any part of Fury ...or Briggs for that matter.

    In my opinion;

    Joshua Fury would beat him convincingly

    Parker Ortiz could beat him as well but would be close

    Wlad Wilder Pulev Stiverne would all lose to Haye IMO... Although he has had a shocking comeback he does still have pedigree and was one of the best Cruiserweights of the last generation, some of that was through strength but don't discount his ability either... For me that is what sees him though against overrated and overage fighters

    (For the record I'm not a Haye fan at all and hope Bellew KTFO's him)

    Haye is actively shying away from fighting anyone with a pulse, so the rational thing would be to expect that he is UNABLE to beat any current top 10 fighter.

    Fury and Povetkin..maybe Ortiz. Wilder and Joshua are hiding China in their chins and are knockouts waiting to happen.

    Fury has a China chin too everyone seems to forget about cunningham flooring him and he's not even a big puncher. Wat makes fury so unpredictable is his ability to switch orthetox to southpaw that and he's nearly 7ft tall

    Haye has always been a tremendous talent and still looks formidable but we dont know what Haye can still do until he is in with another top HW.
    I think Haye could beat most of the HWs but may struggle with Fury, Wlad, Joshua, but I wouldnt write Haye off completely against any HW because if he lands...

    I have to agree. Takam is awful and would get quickly knocked out by Haye, Duhaupas is a punching bag, and Jennings has no Jab to keep Haye off him.

    I do not understand why Haye hasn't fought for the title by now he has shown to be clearly better then most . Perhaps no one wants to fight him or perhaps you are right injuries
