Haye partially unified cruiserweight by beating two weak title holders (old, shot Mormeck and glass chinned bum Maccarinelli). He never made a title defecne and he never even fought the best cruiserweights (Adamek, Cunningham, Huck, G.Jones, etc)
Haye is a worthless paper titlist. He hasn't beaten anybody with a pulse at HW.
Wlad destroyed the REAL WBA HW Champ Ruslan Chagaev who schooled Valuev.
Wlad is the rightful WBA heavyweight champ.
YOU FAIL.
My point, which you are clearly missing is that he is still at the start of his career. Most fighters do not even get a world title shot in 25 fights.
Let's compare Wlad's first 4 opponents to Haye's at HW shall we?
The Maccareneli fight was a domestic dust up that the fans demanded and did huge business in the uk. Adamaek wasn't even on the CW radar when Haye was down there. Cunningham is not a good fighter. Why keep killing yourself defending titles below 200 lbs?
Fragomeni has since won the world title, Mormeck was THE man at cruiserweight and Haye smashed him up i his own back yard.
It's easy to pick holes and hard to give credit for some people. There is very few easy fights in boxing, your seeing the game in black and white
25 fights
WBA Super World cruiserweight title
WBC cruiserweight title
WBO cruiserweight title
Ring Magazine Cruiserweight title
WBA World heavyweight title
His career has hardly even started and he's achieved this. Hard to attack his record at this stage. Maybe valid to ask this question in 2 years
He got dropped by Henry Cooper you ****ing twat. Ali was a lot of things but defensive genius he was not.
Go and watch some boxing before you start casting your bullshit
Haye at heavyweight is sick power and he's going to prove it. Knocked bonins head back with a soft jab and the bloke had sparred with the russian big hitters.
Trust Haye will go down as one of the hardest of all time when hes finished with that division. And with Klits chin... night night
Addison, btw. he didn't land more than three clean punches on Joe. Those were not hard ones.
If he fought with a little more enthusiasm he'd have some fans
Bullshit he landed quite a few good straight right hands.
Spent 12 rounds chasing Hopkins
boxing wasn't invented in the uk.the modern game was established.boxing had been around for millennia.
We standardised the rules that are used to this day
I think he loses to Campbell, Juan Diaz, Peterson and Santa Cruz.
The rest are toss ups because we haven't seen Khan in against a top fighter at lightweight yet.
Anything could happen in a Katsidis fight because of Katsidis' lack of defense but I'd give the edge to Katsidis.
A fight with Casamayor strongly depends on how much Casamayor has left after his battle with Katsidis.
Raheem should be able to beat him as well.
Contradicting yourself a tad there. Saying it's hard to judge then saying he'll lose to all those fighters
I could name 20 boxers in history who are better then Mayweather..
I reckon he's about... 35 AT now
If he beats Cotto and another top welterweight he would be scraping my top 10. But you have to prove it, no point everyone thinking your the best you have to prove it
