Two absolute world champions at different times.I would give the victory to Holyfield.He keeps hitting better cardio and it is also better in my opinion.

I take it you saw that against Bowe, Foreman and Tyson, all bigger punchers than Haye, Holy was able to absorb plenty of direct shots? No chance Haye knocks him out. Holy to outland him in a competitive first half, Haye's heart breaks around the midpoint and he goes out like a candle around the 8th.

I think he did not look old fights Holyfield.He remembers his old already.

I think Haye had bigger one-punch power than comeback Foreman and Bowe. But as Holyfield was as tough as old boots, it doesn't really help him.

Evander KO, no question.

There is zero evidence to suggest Haye has more power than Bowe. Bowe was definitely the bigger puncher.

I think this could be a great fight.

Haye has had 6 heavyweight fights, if you count Bonin. Which of these are you basing your assessment on? Audley? I rate Haye, but I don't think he's demonstrated the sort of power that either of those others did, though I grant you, it makes no difference here; no way he's knocking out Holyfield.

I struggle to see a prime John Ruiz surviving past one or two rounds with Riddick Bowe or Lennox Lewis, let alone the used up old guy who went nine with Haye.

Valuev lasting against Lewis, Bowe, Foreman, Tyson?

Haye is not a 'better puncher' than Holyfield's major opponents. Just when you thought Eddy had made his stupidest observation, he produces a new and even more moronic one.

The Real Deal by mid rounds TKO

How has Haye shown at HW that he had bigger one punch power than Bowe? Foreman?

He knocked out an old Ruiz and Audley Harrison...what that didn't convince you?

Well what about Monte Barrett, he knocked him out too ya know. Still not sold? he also knocked out Derreck Chisora

I'm not a huge believer in comeback Foreman's power. I suspect Valuev would have outpointed him. Hide looked a bigger puncher than Bowe, who was more of a wear you down type. Haye's power must be similar.

I was messin about, truth is holyfield would take haye apart easily, haye has shown nothing in his career to suggest he could hang with holyfield at cruiser or heavy.
