    There's a common denominator with Bruno and that was he came up short on the big nights when he wasn't knocking over tomato cans.

    Frank just wasn't that good. Btw two judges had it even in Lewis v Bruno when Lennox finished it.

    Frank was good at blessing himself though.

    Use your eyes. The judges were wrong, Frank was bossing the fight up until the stoppage.

    If Bruno lands heavy on Haye he wins but I can't see that happening. Hayes speed and variety of punches would give Bruno fits but in reality it would be a dull fight with Haye running around the ring.

    The Klitschko's would absolutely murder Bruno. He would be cannon fodder.

    The judges and Frank's record can't all be wrong.

    As said, yet Bruno out boxed a superior fighter in Lewis for the majority of the fight.

    I'd give Bruno more of a shot at beating either of them than Haye who seems to be able to only throw a very limited number of punches a round at HW. It's almost as if he has to count them for fear of running out of gas.

    As far as a prime Mike Tyson goes, it's comical to even think of Haye in the same ring. I genuinely don't think Haye would last a round. I'd be shocked if he did. He can't tie him up, smother, he's not strong, he's slower, he's not going to be able to keep out the way, it would be seriously brutal and quick.

    The guy likes Haye, he won't be swayed by evidence and logic.
     
  8. Haye's punch variety consists of a windswept left hook and a windswept right hook.... generally thrown when off balance about three times a round.

    His technical regression at HW was shocking IMO.

    On a side not, why is David Haye's stamina so poor, is it just a genetic thing that the dude doesnt have a gas tank?

    Haye has shown he can throw a variety of punches throughout his career. In his heavyweight fights he has adapted his style against bigger opponents which didn't work very well.

    Frank essentially had one punch and that was a ram rod jab.

    I like Haye :rofl:rofl

    Thats the best one yet.:lol::lol:

    Some guys who know me from other boards will get a chuckle at that.


    There is no logic that says Bruno was better than Haye. All your evidence is anecdotal. Compare the records. Frank beat nobody except the Crazy Man.

    I'd say the opposite myself and go with the career heavyweight of 45 fights, in his prime.

    One only has to watch the Lewis/Bruno, Wlad/Haye fights, to see who's natural at the weight and who isn't. The one looks like a mismatch. Dave would love Bruno's jab from a reach that is longer than Wlad's. He can be evasive though, I give him that.

    Anyway, we all have differing opinions.

    So far, according to the poll, around 76% of folk don't think Haye would beat Bruno.:blurp

    My posts are about Bruno's legacy versus Hayes in the all time British list, look back on my posts that it clear. Haye's a 2 weight champ and undisputed at Cruiser. Haye is also a lot more talented than Bruno was. The fact that Haye is the biggest wanker in boxing doesn't come into it.

    2 weight TITLIST. How can he be heavyweight champ when he was never even the no.2? Do you even know what champion means? Use your own mind and stop being a sheep, at HW Haye was the definition of paper champ, his belt was utterly meaningless.

    Lewis beats him, Bruno beats him, and I think Cooper would too.
    I also think Gary Mason could potentially be another. Ive not seen much of London, and Danny Williams, depends which Williams shows up. Id pick Haye, but not without very tricky moments.

    Herbie Hide has the quickness to be a tough fight, but gotta think his chin would let him down.
