Some people really hate Haye here
Seriously though, I think Haye wins a UD, or Cooney might stop him, not sure. It's a hell of a lot closer than some are making it sound though, I'm sure of that.

Agreed, Cooney's only pronounced edge is size. He'd have a hard time landing anything of note.

I don't see why you say that with such conviction. I think Haye is more unproven at heavy than Cooney was.
Yeah I can be a hard one to read sometimes. Let me say it this way, I believe that Haye would have a very deep toenail infection on the day he stepped up against Cooney.
In all honesty Haye was probably p4p the better of the two. While neither man did anything to seriously impress in the heavyweight division, I do think Haye left a bit more to be desired. Not sure how Cooney would react to Haye's quickness or style. But if he found a way to connect with any degree of regularity, or just happened to get him staggered early, its hard to imagine Haye recovering.
