Who hit harder in Spinks and Haye?

Haye hit harder. Shouldn't have any bearing on how either man ranks or who would win in a head to head fight though. But even an ancient John Ruiz was still pretty hard to stop and Haye beat the living dog shlt out of him. And his cruiserweight stoppages should be factored into the equation as well.

 

You're not alone is that assessment.

Yeah, for real. WTF is Unforgiven typing, FFS. Toe jam, chin/gut check and glass heart. I'll add Dino Denis in there for good measure!

 

He had a better jab, for a start. A much stronger set of toes, too.

 

I agree with you, but you have to question what kind of pressure he'd be under mentally to fight three men on the same night.
Unlike in an ordinary situation where victory in 1 round would bring a huge relief of mental tension, in a situation where two more challengers await, the pressure of expectation would be enormous and the unspent physical energy would just add to that pressure. It's just not comparable to anything we know.

Tyson apparently cried like a baby in the dressing room after the Smith fight, for instance, because the pressure of the fight was still unnerving him. We've seen him crying and flying off the handle plenty of times. He was/is an overly emotional person.

 

yeah true, dude, one fight a night would be enough for anyone, uness you can kill em off quick inside say 2 rounds (eg shot retired sanders easily destroying prime Wlad in seconds)

 

I already answered in contri 18

 

Haye(in his prime) couldn't knock out glass-chinned fighters like the very old carl
thompson or w. klitschkbviously Spinks.

 

Haye could run but he wasn't fast at all he looked slow against
w. k and he was lighter than 211 lbs. Plus the Haye-super slow Valuev (who had knee problem) was a close fight.Haye was a little bit faster than Valuev.Other question Haye could run because he's a glass-chinned coward.
