    I'd say only Holyfield and probably Bowe.

    Tyson would KO Haye in 5 seconds when he was 11 years old. He would bob and weave his way to the inside and knock him out with the right jab.

    About what I thought, 2/3rds of people think Haye would hear the final bell in at most 2 fights. Some good points were made about fighters near his ability going the distance against the champs of the past, though.

    Perhaps I underestimated Haye a bit. I still think Wlad's "performance" against him was atrocious, even by Wlad standards.

    Wlad is a bit of an oddity, and will probably be remembered as one. Wlad vs Haye was a weird battle in reflexes, speed and boxing skill. It looked awful, but made sense for the two men in the ring.

    If Haye fought to win, not just survive, I don't know that he'd go the distance with any of them TBH.

    Why are so many picking him to outlast Bowe?

    Strange post this.

    Bowe would do very bad things to Hayes chin, and very early at that.

    Holyfield would definitely grind Haye down to a stoppage, terrible style matchup for David.

    I must admit I haven't really watched many Bowe fights myself, but from what I've seen he tires out mid fight.

    Fair play then, so does Haye btw ;)

    I don't think it would even make it that far honestly

    In all honesty no.


    Peak Ali could stop him mid or late depending on what mood he was in. Haye would likely **** him off so i'd go mid round.

    Foreman, Lewis, Bowe and Tyson would all bludgeon him at some point.

    Holyfield would have him blowing out of his arse and showing him what the word stamina meant...and what cruiserweights are really capable of at heavy.

    Holmes similarly would have Haye blowing out of his arse while giving him a boxing lesson before stopping him late.


    Haye isn't near this class of fighter and his chin ain't good enough either.
