Who else thinks Fury was probably lucky that the Haye fight didn't happen?

I thought everyone thought Haye was the lucky one.. Guess not..

 

At this point I'm wondering if Haye might not have cracked fatso's chin.

 

If Haye really went for it like he did vs Chisora then yes he would've had a chance vs green Fury who was getting floored and hurt vs the likes of Pajkic, Cunningham.

But after seeing Haye run away and fight scared vs another giant in Wladimir, that doesn't fill me with much confidence in all honesty.

 

I don't believe David Haye is the one to change boxing history. I rather believe he would improve Tyson Fury's resume.

 

Haye with broken toe from wlad fight whacks Fury

 

Ridiculous assertion.

He ran for his life all 12 against w
Wlad... A heartless performance.

Against Fury, especially much older, he would run for his life again, except his legs aren't as good anymore and gets stopped late.

Even in their primes, Fury wins easy.

 

Haye was crap, and hugely overrated by his crappy fans. I hated when he was active. You'd always have idiots praising his paper thin CW resume, and giving him all sorts of chances against far superior opposition. When Bellew chinned him and did it a second time was karma coming home to roost.

I loathe Fury now, but that doesn't change the fact that he's demonstrably the superior fighter, and would likely have flattened Haye, maybe in a bit of a wild shootout with a KD or two. There's no way he would have been KOed by Haye. Put on his arse sure, but that would have only fired him up to gun for the stoppage.

 

Haye was certainly a big favourite going into the fight. It was seen somewhat of a cherry pick at the time. Fury was just about getting through British level opposition without looking great.
