    Haye was a lot more fun to watch at cruiser compared to heavy. If he faced Jirov, does he stink it out? Or does a war ensue?

    Good fight, if Haye doesn't take him out early, he's in for a long, painful night.

    Jirov TKO11 IMO.

    I believe Jirov's slow aggression and leaky defense are tailor made for Haye. At close Jirov would do some damage but eventually he would be paying too heavy a price for that.

    Agreed with UGO. I think Haye's power and handspeed are too much for Jirov's non-existent defense.

    Thirded. No question Jirov is the tougher gutsier man but Haye just enough speed and power to deal with the pressure. He'd have Jirov resetting a fair bit and thus losing momentum. Would be an entertaining fight.

    I'd pick Jirov if Haye had to cut to 190
