    Lewis vs. Haye would not be like Eubank vs Benn.

    More like a smaller recognized fight than Bruno vs. Lewis.
    Eubank vs Benn was considered a farce over in the states, everyone thought Eubank was "just another pushover" at that specific time.

    In the Uk with the right build up..it would be as big!
    Hayes trash talking would get up lewis's nose.

    There is only one Benn v Eubank rivalry. Lewis and Haye second best.

    No chance.

    Prior to the Mormeck fight, Haye was struggling badly yo make weight. Maybe he could have stayed at Cruiser for one more fight but I think even that would be pushing it.

    Why anyone would think he wouldn't want to make an absolute fortune by fighting Lewis I don't know.

    Lewis vs Haye wouldn't be anything like Benn vs Eubank.

    Perhaps Lewis vs Briggs - but ending earlier. Haye would certainly go down swinging, most likely in the 2nd or 3rd.
