    Lennox Lewis was still in his prime and fighting?

    He would.

    And he will not fight Vitali or Wladimir.

    Haye would still move to HW, he would just avoid fighting Lennox, like Riddick Bowe did.

    You reckon Haye would pull that trash bin move with a legitimate belt in front of cameras? :admin

    That was likely the single most embarrassing moment for heavyweight boxing, a champion in his own right doing that gladly.

    Offcourse.

    The British public might demand a fgiht between the 2 and Haye would have to avoid the massacre.

    He probably would have gave it a go, lost and then moved back down.

    Haye-Lewis would make Haye very rich he would do the fight he would not win.

    I could see Haye doing something like that, seems like the type. His "back injury" excuse to run from the Wlad fight was pretty sad.
    And you're right, Bowe dumping the belt in the bin was embarrassing, difficult to believe some people still defend it to this day.

    The most embarrassing moment was Rock Newman and Bowe claiming that Lennox Lewis was an unworthy opponent and then fighting a past prime................Jesse Ferguson :admin

    i dont understand how Haye can be called a ducker uno. He fought Mormeck who was number 1 at the time. He got stopped by Carl Thompson in his 9th pro fight!! I dont no any other fighter that had a tougher selection of fights cummin up, do you? Enzo Mac was being raved about and come of a good win over Braithwaite. Fragomeni is one of the top guys at Cruiserweight still. He fought arthur williams early on aswell who was IBF cruiser champ a few years previous. Personally i think he didnt fight Vlad becos of the situation with Setanta and it meant he would get beans for the fight. Lewis is my favourite fighter but his chin wasnt iron and a Haye bomb could lay any1 out so i dont no why he would be scared

    Yeah I'd actually give Haye a 3 in 10 chance of KOing Lewis with a big right hand...............more chance than most of Lennox's opponents had

    Vitali could not KO him and Tua could not, Grant could not, Botha could not, Mercer could not Bruno could not. They all hit harder then Haye so I am not convinced Haye could do it. Lennox VS McCall Lennox got up and was stopped. Rahman sparked him better but Lewis was unprepared. A well prepared Lewis would not lose to Haye, an outta shape undertrained Lewis might lose to Haye, might.

    well the fact he stated before the mormeck fight that he no longer could make the weight i think answers your question!
    Hes never ducked anyone despite all the klit lovers on here shouting it from the rooftops.
    Whether he had a back injury or not...setanta(his money for the fight) is the reason i think, however he wouldnt put taht much promotion into a fight to duck the guy! That crazy!
    Lewis v Haye would be like Eubank v Benn... = ££££££££££
