A fat Corrie Sanders gave him all the trouble in the World, so i guess a fit Corrie Sanders would have a really good chance...:roll:
Ayatolla with all due respect would you consider Bowe prime at this point you're talking about, 1998 and onwards ? He looked in serious decline after the two Golota fights in 1996. He then took eight years off and returned to action in 2004. If i've got the wrong end of the stick, forget about it. I agree a prime Bowe's a real handfull, in my opinon, he's more than a handfull for anyone in history....
Haye is really basically the same as Herbie Hide, fast hands, big punch, no chin (well, at least Hide wasn't embarassed by featherfisted Supermiddleweights and 40 year old senior citizens), loud mouth. And you see how that went down. :yep
Apparently, few very "smart" people on this board think that if Haye adds extra 30 Lbs to his weight, his chin will become iron.
his chin is poor. moving up to heavyweight and not having to dehydrate and force his body bellow a comfortable weight will help to move it up to average, but i wouldn't say 'iron'.
Tough call. I guess it depends i'd say 50/50 chance for either. Both are good. You know, i might favor Vitali a bit better in this fight. he's taller, awkward and doesn't squar off. He shoots from different angles and he's just as tough as Bowe.
It is hypothetical assumption that his punch resistance will improve. The only facts here are he's got poor chin, got KTFO by a Middleweight and has not been hit by a Heavyweight yet.
