How many people have achieved what David Haye has in 24 fights?

[The Gambler1981]

Wilfredo Gomez won the title in his 15th fight then went on to defend it several times before fight 24.

ahh, i wanna be even more clear. the alignment from knee to ankle was off, causing his foot to almost roll. ouch. that had to have caused a short but somewhat sharp line of pain in his lower leg.

Not with 8 champs in each division.

Not that big of a deal at all to be honest.

So why isn't every boxer doing it?

All the names mentioned in this thread (apart from Leon Spinks) were very good fighters and nowhere near bums.

Did that also cause the spit to come dripping out of his mouth?

no, he is a big guy and mouth breathing to compensate for the lack of oxygenation.

edit: btw, if u have ever worn a mouthpeice.....

More than Spinks has been named.

Oscar De La Hoya.

I mean seriously, how many times do you need to be made to look a fool?

WTF are you on about? I said "All the names mentioned in this thread (apart from Leon Spinks) were very good fighters and nowhere near bums."

Did Spinks win titles in 2 divisions in his first 24 fights?

I'm going to disagree.

I remember going into the Qawi fight that Spinks was 22-0-0, and after that he made a few more defenses at 175. He may have been like 26-0-0 or 27-0-0.

Maybe you are right. Doesn't matter though.

Haye is not a bum, I wouldn't say that.

I would say Valuev was exposed twice by people Haye's size or smaller, so let's not get ahead of ourselves and proclaim Haye as this monster either.

Time will tell on Haye's heavyweight ability.

And with 4 minutes on boxrec, we could name numerous fighters with better pedigrees in their first 25 fights and people who moved weight classes.

I know what SIX is getting at, but let's not overhype Haye either.

[RightCross94]

I see a lot of people talking **** about Haye and not giving him any props. So c'mon guys list all the fighters that achieved more than Haye in their first 24 fights.
