    I like Haye, and he's an exciting fighter with good power, but I honestly don't think his chin can live with the big boys.

    I would lovee to be proven wrong though...could be the fresh air the heavyweights need right now.
    I wonder, if Haye somehow happened to mow down all of the top HWs, if this division will somehow magically turn into a great one by all of the writers, instead of the worst one ever, like they're claiming.

        I'm not sure if it will hold up either, but I think his speed gives him a good chance on avoiding too many big punches. It's those big punches that get in every now and then that I'm conserned about. Wlads biggest fans have a reason to worry also.

          It doesn't really matter, if Haye does that then he unified Cruiser and Heavy. Mike Tyson unified a weak division and he is a top 10 ATG heavyweight.

            So if Wlad unifies he instantly becomes a top 10 ATG HW?

            And remember that Haye beat an old, inactive, recently KOd fighter for two of the belts and the weakest belt holder for the other one. He didn't seem to want any part of the toughest challenge, Cunningham.

              Cunningham only became the toughest challenge after Haye demolished two leading Cruiser's. If youve seen the Wlodarzyk fights and the Huck fight, you wouldn't deem Cunningham the mighty force so many poeple think he is.

                From what i have seen Cunningham is an arm puncher, Mormeck was a much tougher fighter and more proven. Only someone who hasnt seen the 2 fight more than a few times would think Cunningham is better imo.

                  Some writers say the division is not good because their favorite fighters do not win any longer, and the fighters they hate are winning constantly and look unbeatable forever like Vladimir.

                  It is like the boy who says a girl is boring and ugly just because she doesnt want to talk to him or give any attention to him.

                    True, Cunningham is a good fighter but NOT the toughest in the division.

                    This is also true, Mormeck is far and away the more accomplished of the two.

                      Id laugh if Haye loses his next fight, I don't think he could ever show his face again!
