    First of all, Haye is a cruiserweight

    Second of all, there are lots of fighters that have skill in the heavyweight division.

        exactly

        one of the top boys now wouldnt have been allowed to fight 20 years ago

        makes you wonder what would have happened if the soviets and cubans could have fought in the 60s, 70s 80s and 90s

          oh well who cares, the champions of today have never fought cubans in the pros so i gues they aren't real world champions.

              Most of the Soviet men back then were forced to go in the army/military, especially the bigger,stronger Soviets....Most Soviet men had no freedom back then....My dad was in the Soviet army during the Cold War

                my dad was also in the soviet army but people who had talent in sports where trained from a young age. So no need to make excuses.
                It's just like the americans saying that all the big athletic americans are in basketball or football.

                      then why aren't the soviets dominating the other divisions, the heavyweights do suck. There are only 2 fighters who are in shape, and thats klitschko and haye.
