Can't really say who would win as we've not seen enough from Haye yet. Bruno is stronger and probably hits harder but then Haye is much faster and better mentally. Chin probably goes to Frank and stamina is fairly equal.
As far as Haye vs Hide goes, Haye in 3

Can we not have some quality control before before people can join this place and be allowed to comment?
Kids these days... So much fiction in such a short sentence. Stick to bagging Enzo mate.
That post is waaaaay too eager to put me down over a honest mistake
Sure sign of what a w#nker you are
That should be 'honest mistake
s' plural (meaning 'more than one')
You made three glaring errors in one small sentence which means you have no idea what you are talking about.
So, for the uninitiated.
Tim Witherspoon stopped Frank Bruno in the 11th round, of a schedueled 15 round WBA title fight at wembley in June 1986.
Can someone ban Flint Island - annoying twat!

Asking for someone to be banned for remebering something inaccurately.
I seen the stoppage - I thought it was a 12 rounder - I knew it was late - mistakes happen.
Your a patronising twat.

Yes, he was stopped several times in his career but it was always by top fighters and big punchers (Bonecrusher, Witherspoon, Tyson and Lewis) and he was never really clean KO'd by any of them. Take the Witherspoon fight, it was a brutal defeat and Bruno took a real hammering but the ref stopped it as Bruno's corner threw the towel in. Witherspoon must have hit Bruno with half a dozen clean shots and he still propped up shipping punishment when it was stopped. I think Bruno was counted against Bonecrusher but, again, Bruno took loads of punishment before he went down. To say he had a glass jaw is harsh.
Like Nigel Benn said - Frank werent really chinny - is problem was he held a shot too well - instead of going down and taking a knee - he would just stay upright and take more.

That's ridiculous, you can't hold a shot too well. Problem is he became like a rabbit in the headlights once hurt and struggled to defend himself or to tie his opponent up.

There's no question Bruno could hurt Haye and I think David would be wary of his power. Bruno's jab would also be a dificult tool for David to deal with. I can't see Haye getting to Bruno early and I think there are big questions about Haye's stamina. I fancy Bruno would break him up and stop a tired Haye late on. Generally I favour the faster, more skillful man but in this case the questions I have about Haye's stamina and punch resistance would make Bruno my pick.
