    Is Denis Boytsov a better HW prospect than Haye?

    I think he is. Haye gets the attention because of national pride.

    And muscles, and the fact that limeys are gonna mindlessly root for any HW they can produce(e.g. Audley Harrison).

    Well, your usual noob ****.

      I don't think so, he's nothing spectacular.

      Even though Enzo's gonna have Haye come fight night.

        Boytsov hasn't faced anyone of note yet, his management is bringing him up slowly so right now I'll say no.

          BTW Kev, a unified Cruiserweight champion is not a prospect, even at heavyweight.

            Boytsov's last fight.

            I can't really say for sure unless they fight each other.

            Haye has done great as a cruiserweight but he hasn't really done anything as a heavyweight.

            Boytsov hasn't faced any top HW opposition.

            Haye is much more accomplished as a boxer.

              he has not fought and beat anyone good enough yet to make such a statement!

                Shane: fair enough about my loose usage of the term 'prospect'.

                Others: I'm not claiming Boytsov to be anything special

                  Be careful, you might receive tons of nasty comments and red K for slighting the mighty Haye.

                  Boytsov still has a long way to go, Haye (if you believe his fans) is ready for a HW title shot right now. Personally, I don't see how someone that can't take a punch at CW will do any damage at HW, no matter how good a right hand he has.

                    It's impossible to know just yet. Denis Boystov is an excellent prospect, but he's a bit small for a heavyweight. He'd be a star at cruiserweight I think.

                    Time will show how good Haye and Boytsov are. I'm just happy we have these two fine young fighters.
