I found this on the bbc website while I was reading various sports articles and I couldn't stop laughing...

I can't believe macca thinks he has fought better opposition than haye!
I can't wait for this fight to happen.
Arthur Williams was a former world champ aswell, but like Braithwaite, he wasn't a threat in the fight. To old, too inactive, too out of shape, and not hungry enough.
What wins does Enzo have that are as good as the 4 i've mentioned, Hobson? No. Braithewaite? Maybe, although he was old, out of shape, and inactive - so i would say no.
To me it is plain to see that Haye has fought the better opposition, i don't know how anyone could think it is even close.
Hobson probably is. Dominguez and Braithwaite definitely are, unless you're saying former world champions aren't worthy of being compared to those who never were? Just because Bonin was rated in the top 15 by one of the heavyweight organisations, it doesn't mean he's actually that fookin good. Haye looked great in that fight while it lasted and I think he'll do very well at HW but lets not kid ourselves that he was facing anyone worth a damn.
I'm a big fan of Haye. I'm just not a big fan of those who seek to promote one by slagging off the other, especially when the arguments are usually bobbins ...
And better than Abdoul, Johansen etc. Both have enough fodder on their resumes.
I've never understood why anyone tries to compare someone's best wins with another's lesser names. It's just a poor argument. You're better off saying nothing.

They're certainly better than Bobby Gunn, Azzoui etc.

I would say his wins over Mormeck, Bonin, Fragomeni, and Gurov are better than anything Enzo has beaten.
Mormeck, yes.
The rest? A whole load of fuck all.
Apart from the Mormeck fight, neither have fought anyone of note really, mainly because it's a shit division. I've always been rather confused by a few people saying how Haye's level of competition is much higher than Enzo's when it plainly isn't.

Mormeck is better than nearly all of Enzos resume added together really though
Er, no.
Winning over there was impressive, and all the credit in the world to Haye for doing so. He has the "big win" (if a win over Mormeck can be classed as big) that Enzo doesn't but then Enzo has a few names on his resume that Haye doesn't. Neither resume is up to much, which is rather the point.
