    Should David Haye get into the IBHOF?

    As the title states, does Mr. Big Toe belong in the IBHOF.......with guys like Timothy Bradley being inducted, while fighters like Marlon Starling are still waiting....what say you about Haye in regards to these new lower standards?

      No, lots of guys with better resumes would deserve it before him.

      Bradley didn't have the greatest career but he has more good wins and took more risks than Haye. also showed more heart and will to win in tough moments.

        I liked his CW career....wouldn't classify it as garbage.

          He essentially only had one good win against Mormeck. Who else did he really beat at CW? Fragomeni? Enzo Mc? The division was weak as f*** during that era.

          Haye made crazy money based on his resume, he was a great salesman in fairness to him.

            He had a decent career but no, not a HOF career.

                Former unified ring magazine Cruiser-weight Champion and Former WBA Heavyweight Champion.

                David Haye's individual achievements are still unprecedented and super elite feats 'Only Usyk has been able to duplicate those feats'.

                Does anyone here think there are many other Cruiser weights who can do the same? How many?

                Only talented and special fighters can move up from Cruiser-weight and win a World Heavyweight title.

                There are very few physical feats that compare outside of the Heavyweight division.

                Haye won his World Heavyweight title, while battling against the biggest weight differential 'There has ever been in a Heavyweight contest'.

                I believe the weight differential was 7 stone in difference 'Haye weighed in at 217 pounds vs Valuev 316 pounds'. That's is a difference of 99 pounds, close to 45 Kilograms'.

                Regardless if people try and play down the victory, that was a extreme feat to achieve.

                Haye also won his Cruiser-weight titles in more prolific fashion than Usyk, Haye blasted and knocked fighters out 'I personally at the time rated Haye as the Undisputed Cruiser weight Champion'.

                The fight between Haye vs Mormeck 'Should of been for the WBC, WBA & IBF titles, instead of just the WBC & WBA Titles'.

                Mormeck did not lose the IBF belt inside of the ring, so therefore Haye when he beat Enzo Maccarinelli 'Was the undisputed Cruiser weight Champion'.

                David Haye also achieved that by fighting on Mormeck's home turf 'If a world boxing series was created during Haye's time at cruiser weight he would of blasted everyone out'.

                Whether people liked David Haye as a fighter or not, his individual achievements and best wins 'Without a shadow of a doubt are good enough for him to considered a candidate' Nobody can really deny this, with any real objective conviction.

                David Haye's achievements were Super Elite.

                    Nah.

                    If he would've had a better showing against Klitschko, he'd have an argument
