Which Heavyweight today is a stylistic nightmare for David Haye?

Wlad? Fighting on the outside and trying to land single shots while beeing shorter and being probably the worse (technical) boxer is most likely the worst thing you can do if you fight Wlad

 

Both Klitschko brothers. Anyone with a decent workrate and chin as well. That being said the current crop isn't great so I would gve Haye a good chance against most of today's heavyweights.

 

It's possible however you can hardly argue it as fact when he hasn't really faced a single one :conf

 

He didn't KO Valuev, so this hardly qualifies as "fact". I doubt he'd KO Arreola, Povetkin, Helenius, Chambers, Huck, Johnson or Chisora either. - He might be able to beat some of them, but there simply is no evidence to suggest he would blast them out (and I personally believe that a few of these guys could give him fits). The 3 guys he has ko'ed at heavy were too ridiculously over the hill for anyone to gauge how much of his power he truly has carried with him from cruiser.

 

I'm not hating.....but has Haye ever faced a 6'3 240 lb HW with massive power and unrelenting aggression. We've only seen him barely outpoint a sluggish Valuev with a torn rotator. Beat down a nonagressive Harrison and a a similar Ruiz who was never known for his power.

The best win, stylistically is Barrett, and Monte had David hurt several times in their fight. And Monte is also not known to have the best chin either which was the great equalizer in their fight.

Guys like Mitchell, Peter, Helenius, Chisora, and maybe even Potvetkin would beat Haye IMO. Too much punching and too much agression.

 

Good post. Spot on:good

 

Haye is a great athlete. I don't see many heavyweights having the skill required to overcome the athletic disadvantages they would face.

A fully focused chambers and povetkin might make it interesting but I think i'd have to favour haye.

I'd be amazed if vitali could beat haye. Byrd gave him nightmares and david punches harder than chris.

He wouldn't fight in the pocket and walk vitali down as byrd did, I think he'd use a combination of head movement and ambush tactics to clown vitali.

Vitali doesn't have the punch to hurt haye anymore and he is pretty slow so haye should be a favourite here.

Vitali's volume would make it difficult for haye to run all night long so he'd have to be completely dedicated and focused.

So those 3 guys would be his most difficult opponent outside of wlad himself.

 

:rofl

 

Aside from the K bros, I think Dereck Chisora would be Haye's worst nightmare. He's a solid chinned pressure fighter, he'd swarm all over Haye and stop him early.

 

I say David Haye

 

Agreed, but he beats old Vitali too now

 

:roflatsch

Hard to win fights when you are too scared to engage and throw punches. Vitali would walk him down and KO him. Haye's power is way overrated at Heavyweight and Vitali has the best Chin in the Division. Haye would fight Vitali like he did Valuev and Wlad try to run and pot shot. Problem is it is impossible to out box Vitali Klitschko and he will show Haye zero respect in there. None.

 

Nah it would be an embarassing fight for Vitali, Haye would have no trouble hitting the old man and Vitali would be hitting air all night. He's too old and too slow now :hi:
