    The two most successful British Heavyweights not named Lennox Lewis.

    What transpires?

    Bruno is naturally bigger and stronger but it wouldn't matter, Haye would find a way to knock him out.

    Even though I might be (rightfully) blamed as modern-day and wald pussy lover, I o agree. Haye runs to avoid exchanges where Bruno would beat him, and eventually Bruno runs into his counter or gets tired. Excellent styles match up for Haye

    I don't see this as one of those fights Bruno gets gassed in. Haye isn't going to set a pace that Bruno can't keep up with and Frank won't necessarily have to chase him either. Either way it's one of those fights i wouldn't put a dime on.

    I wont lie...I HATE responses like this to Mythical Matchups. HATE'EM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It's a "Mythical" Matchup. The question of whether or not someone would take the fight doesn't apply, we're simply discussing the mythical fight itself. And I dis-a-fucking-gree with you. Wlad Klitschko is a far more dangerous opponent than Bruno and Haye took him on. Shit Haye took on the Behemoth from Eastern Europe as well, Valuev, so why wouldn't he fight Bruno?

    Haye was a better fighter than Bruno. Bruno was a big black dumb robot. No speed whatsoever, no finesse. Just big black and strong...with rigid robotic movements as though his joints needed oiling. Haye has limitations but he's fast of hand and foot, elusive and hits rather hard with that quick right hand.

    Bruno had a stiff, heavy jab, and was a very big puncher. Haye would never cope with his power, and Haye's not that hard to find.

    Haye is extremely overrated. Possibly the most overrated ever in boxing forums. He has power, but so did Bruno. Haye's vaunted handspeed is overrated, it is pretty much limited to single shots. His combos are sloppy and not fluid. There's countless heavyweights who throw faster, more fluid combos than Haye. Bruno's main weaknesses, stamina and chin, are weaknesses that Haye has. Bruno's hands were on the slow side, but he did have a very heavy jab that would bother Haye and make him cautious. If Haye is able to hurt Bruno, Bruno might do his usual thing of getting hurt but not holding or taking a knee, and getting stopped in the process, but Haye is so sloppy that I can actually see Bruno surviving this time when he's hurt.

    Bruno wins a decision in a slow paced fight, or maybe stops Haye. Also, what would the over/under on rabbit punches be? 30? 40?

    Hard to say. I'd probably lean toward Bruno, but I could see Haye koing him
