Bonecrusher has a puncher's chance, certainly, but he was a very ordinary fighter... He lost a lot and it wasn't because of bad luck or bad management, it was because he was a limited fighter who really only had one attribute - power Haye is by no means sturdy-chinned and he is fairly one-dimensional himself but he has a big advantage in speed and he would be favored to play keep away, land the occasional eye-catching right hand and win a clear cut decision... I'd say there is a 20-25% chance he gets caught with a big shot that turns the fight... Other than that, he'd win by decision most times
It's just amazing how that shoulder of Bonehugger's managed to go out most everytime when he was getting his ass whipped, I'll tell ya.
Haye is a cute enough fighter. He is risk adverse and a very good runner with decent power and enough coordination to land sneaky combos, then run away. He's not talented, as such, he's just a bit like the antithesis of say, Carl Froch, he's physically talented enough to make up for his lack of intestinal fortitude, the same way Froch is gutsy enough to compensate for his lack of physical talent. Ironically, Haye, for all of his jive ass comments about the Klitschkos, is one of the very small number of fighters who is able to formulate a plan, then stick to it, a la Valuev, and Chisora. Against limited or shopworn dudes, he will turn in far more impressive performances than better or more talented fighters. Likewise, he will lose everytime to somebody with more guts than him and a proportionate degree of talent.
