Thompson was a 2x British Cruiserweight champion, a 2x European Cruiserweight champion, 2x IBO Cruiserweight champion, and former WBO Cruiserweight champion. The only reason he gets no respect is because he spent his entire career at cruiserweight, a fairly obscure divison, and he wasn't American.
dude,,,he was 41 yrs old when he beat haye
This was Haye's 10th fight against a very game well schooled Carl Thompson.
A guy renowned for his will to come back from being almost Ko'ed.
Haye spanked him early in the fight and most refs would have halted the action in Hayes favour.
Rather than this fight being detrimental to Haye it actually benefited him and forced him to re-evaluate his commitment to his trade.
Like a lot of great fighters he learnt a lesson.
Just remember that the majority of men in the hall of fame all suffered defeats.
This kind of horseshit post reveals your true lack of knowledge about Boxing.
...The limey announcer said it best. "Hayes career is in taters". He resurrected and created an illusion by fighting bums ever since. Wlad would launch this guys head into orbit. Haye had nothing after the 2nd round. That's a special kind of shit conditioning. I never knew Solis stopped him in the olympics. I missed that the first time I saw this.
The Purrity fight was over 10 YEARS AGO....Wlad was only 21 years old.
Wlad beat the living shit outta Purrity for 10 rounds and completely ran out of gas....Wlad collapsed from fatigue
The Haye/Thompson fight was only 3 YEARS AGO....Haye got knocked out by a 41 year old light heavyweight.
Last time i checked it was a TKO loss. Big difference.
Thompson>Purity.

Are you serious man? Haye had only 10 fights to his name at the time and Klitschko had over 20 from what i am remembering. Haye was also beating Thompson at the time he was stopped. This is the double standard that i am talking about. Why be a critic towards him when you guys have a favorite fighter that has an infererior resume to Haye when he only had that many fights. Who did Klitschko beat when he only had 15 fights? Thompson is also a natural cruiserweight.

whatever spin you want to put on it, Purrity was a BUM plain and simple his record speaks for its self, you wouldn't see Peter or Chagaev lose to such opposition. Neither would haye :lol1:

wow your grasp of chronology is spectacular, and they say Klitschko fans are fucking retards...
Wladimir has been knocked out by worse fighters and i haver noticed that you are pretty big fan of his by occasionally browsing through these forums every once and a while. You are in no position to be clowning Haye kid. Ross Purity was a journeyman and never held a title, and he stopped Wladimir in similar fashion. I sense a double standard here. Carl Thompson was actually a crusierweight champion and i actually seen that fight live, back in 1998 if i am remembering correctly.

Sure looks like a knockdown to me.
And if his corner wouldn't have thrown in the towel when they did, Haye probably would've been eating food through a straw now, he was wobbling around like he'd drunk a half gallon of vodka.
:rofl: :rofl:
If you think that's bad, I suggest you rewatch Berto-Rivera.
What? He went down from one sneaky uppercut and recovered fairly well. That's not even a remotely viable comparison.

Wlad doesnt talk shit like gay haye, gay haye runs his mouth and he's 1-0 at HW. :rofl:
Thompson was a tough, durable guy, he was also taking a beating before Haye punched himself out and was hurt multiple times but kept coming back. Haye has improved a lot since then.

The Cat also beat Chris Eubank you retard, heavy weight division is full of American fatheads, Haye will dominate the division with no problems, Vlad has already been exposed.
Isn't that just America generally?

Who knows what could have happen Haye was wobbled but didnt fall who jknew what an 8 count could have did he was still landing more then thompson, he just got a better shot off, the ref towel came in prematurely i would fired my corner right after the fight!
