    Can Haye utilize enough movement to prevent Tua from setting and landing enough big shots, or this another one of those fights where it's just a matter of time before the puncher catches up and ends matters?

    I think haye probably wins 7/10 surprisingly easily and ends the other three cold as snow
     
  3. Interesting. Never seen this before. Haye should win a decision.

    Yeah, against the fat Tua maybe...

    96-97 Tua hospitalizes Haye.

    Yall are overrating the fuck outta Haye. Either that or selling Tua short.

    This isn't bum ass Chisora we're talking about here.

    Like I said, 96-97 Tua who was weighing 225 would eventually catch Haye end him violently.

    Agreed with X. Tua is the clear favorite in that fight

    I don't think what Hut is saying is that far fetched. Even in his prime, Tua lost a shitload of rounds, often to worse guys than Haye. I'm never confident in guys like Tua, Abraham and Broner who lose a lot of rounds.

    Agreed,Bum Maskaev was doing a job on him and he had a fraction of the elusiveness of Haye.

    Haye is trash.

    Prime Tua catches him eventually.

    I never thought too highly of Haye. His vaunted handspeed is overrated as it is limited to single shots, his combos very often consist of consecutive punches to the back of the head.

    Haye would probably have some early success with his movement, because this is Tua we are talking about here, but I think Tua would get to him and stop him with that left hook. Haye's chin wasn't good and his stamina was far from impressive either, which is probably why he threw combos once every eon.
