Ok I have seen a few people criticizing Haye's record at cruiserweight. I don’t get this in 22 fights Haye beat the No1 cruiserweight recognized by the Ring in Mormeck, He beat Enzo who was ranked in the top 10 by Ring and held the WBO belt and he also beat the current Euro champ Fragomeni. Becoming undisputed champ in just 22 fights is very impressive. I understand people questioning his abilities at heavyweight but i don’t understand criticizing of his career at cruiser.

'cause they're HATERS

all i got to say is this......

you brits have convinced me of haye's potential.

i've been going at it with wladowns and mt77 because of this.

if haye does turn out to be a HYPEJOB like those KLITORISES say.........

i'm gonna be pissed.

Klitschko will KO Haye...I have little doubt. But his cruiserweight record is quite good. There's not exactly a huge crop of great cruiserweights out there, but his opponent's records are all very good to excellent.

I'd like to see Haye face Herbie Hide

i'd like him to fight ruiz , rahman or tua......maybe even toney. those 4 are quite beatable for haye. those guys are also well known in the u.s. it'll help him get established as a big name in the heavyweight division in the u.s.

It's mostly WLAD OWNS who criticising Haye.

Yeah, Crusierweight is a **** division but he beat who he had to beat and was undisputed champ in 22 fights. I don't know how anyone can criticise that.

Haye has beaten almost every to cruiserweight there was to fight so his resume there is solid.

Hayes resume @ cruiser is pretty awesome tbh, whether he can step up to HW convincingly is totally unconnected to his cruiser record, all that does is give an indication of his power. The true tests will be when he faces a live HW opponent.
Stop hating on Hayes cruiserweight resume, its all but impeccable.

I think Haye's record at cruiser is more or less as good as it could be isn't it, excluding his KO loss. People criticise it because Cruiser is perceived as a weak division and so the fighters are relatively unknown, making some fans think they are bums.

This is true. But to be fair, cruiser is **** and a lot of them are bums. I like Haye though, I hope he does well at heavy. At least I will be able to watch a guy with a bit of personality and explosiveness out there.
