Also would henry have beaten Frank or Haye?

I have my doubts.
I think he would have beaten Bruno, although cuts off course was always a factor. Haye... not sure. Still alot of unanswered questions on Haye.

Still find it almost mystifying how a 39 (probably more) year old Carl Thompson beat him.
err cos it was his 11th fight his idea of training was getting pissed in tenerife / miami and chasing birds about, Haye had been blasting everyone out in a few rounds and expected to do the same with Carl, Carl was like somethig otu of the night of the living dead. Haye gassed due to setting off too hard and not training properly and also doing next to no cardio work.....put it togetha nd what do you get.....

you know the rest. :TU:
Yes, I do know this. Sorry worded it wrong, what I meant was more on an emphasis on Thompson being past it. Would prime Thompson beaten prime Haye.... I think it is a tough one to call, only prime fighter to have tested Haye who was decent was Fragomeni.... Enzo Mac and Gurov were both good fighters, but for due to Haye's power never got into the fight. Arthur Williams, Mormeck, Barrett were all past their primes.

Haye is still relatively untested - not his fault mind. His power is awesome, but I think Cooper would have gone a few rounds and tested him.
