Who has the better resume: Wladimir Klitschko or David Haye??

[Garo]

Wlad has a better resume and much more experience, no doubt about it.

[Lord13]

Wlad can beat Haye without using his right hand at all.
Let's see Haye do that to someone like Austin. He'd get knocked out cold.

[Chunk..]

Wlad = 54 fights.

Haye = 22 fights.

Thanks.

[Dan...]

Obviously Wlad. Although looking through Wlad's list there makes me realise how weak HW is right now.

Haye's opponent this Saturday is someone Wladimir defeated eight years ago:

Haye won't even beat Monte.

Who had the best resume after 22 fights?

Wlad's 22nd fight was against Steve Pannell, Haye's was against Enzo Macirenelli.

Combined opposition records up to 22 fights:

Wlad: 368-210-20
Dave: 496-213-22

In 22 fights Haye became unified World Champion at Cruiserweight, Klitschko had won the WBC International Heavyweight title, Haye has 20 knockouts in 21 wins, Wlad was undefeated at this point with 20 KOs in 22 wins.

After 22 fights Haye has had the greater achievements. Wlad's 22 fights spanned just less than 2 years. David has been a professional for 6 years.

There's no question that Haye by this point in his career has fought better opposition that Wlad had by the same point. It's unfair to compare his resume with that of Wlad who had had some 32 additional fights in an additional six years as an active professional.

World class post!

What a dumb question Haye has beaten one good fighter
Wlad has been beaten good fighters for the last five years.

Both Klitschko brothers have beaten better fighters
but of the three Wlad has beaten the best.

In 22 fights Haye became unified World Champion at Cruiserweight, Klitschko had won the WBC International Heavyweight title, Haye has 20 knockouts in 21 wins, Wlad was undefeated at this point with 20 KOs in 22 wins.

In 22 fights Haye's record was 21-1 (20 KO)
In 22 fights Klitschko's record was 22-0 (20 KO)

It took Haye 6 years to get 22 fights and 5 years to get a title belt.

It took Klitschko 2 years to get 22 fights and 4 years to get a title belt.

After 22 fights Haye has had the greater achievements. Wlad's 22 fights spanned just less than 2 years. David has been a professional for 6 years.

In 2 years Haye's record was 11-1 (11 KO)
In 2 years Klitschko's record was 24-1 (22 KO) - That's more fights, wins and KOs than Haye had in 6 years.

In 6 years Haye's record was 21-1 (20 KO)
In 6 years Klitschko's record was 40-1 (37 KO)

Who had the better resume after 2 years of fighting? After 6 years of fighting?

There's no question that Haye by this point in his career has fought better opposition that Wlad had by the same point. It's unfair to compare his resume with that of Wlad who had had some 32 additional fights in an additional six years as an active professional.

No, you're the one making the unfair comparison. You can't just cut Klitschko's current resume in half to compare it with Haye's current resume. I guess that's the only way you can argue that Haye's resume is better, by cutting Klitschko's resume in half.

Also, I can argue that a fighter's "point in his career" isn't based on the amount of fights he's had, it's based on the amount of time he's been fighting.

Currently, Klitschko has a much better resume than Haye, and it's just unfair to compare fighters' resumes based on the first 22 fights...
