    - Wlad fought Chagaev, who Haye should be fighting instead of old Audley

    - Wlad fought Chambers and Vitali fought Kevin Johnson. Both Chambers and Kevin Johnson tried to get the fight with Haye for November 2008, but Haye instead chose the old, faded Barrett who had been KOed by Cliff Couser.

    The Klitschkos take on all comers, and fight the best available HWs.

    Since moving up in 2008, Haye has yet to fight a heavyweight younger than age 37.

      No one else was willing to face Wlad. Also, I don't see anything wrong with racking up title defense after title defense, against top opponents and lessor opponents who may have name recognition. Wlad is gonna be around in 3 years still fighting and beating the top guys. I don't see a problem with him occasionally fighting an opponent who isn't in the top ten...

        Hayes had 4 fights at HW, the Klitschko's have been fighting bums like this their entire careers, Wlad only got to the top when every other decent HW retired.

          Haye was cherry-picking at cruiserweight too. All his opponents except one had been KOed before. And he avoided the prime top cruisers like Cunningham, Wlodarczyk and Adamek.

          He had only two title fights at CW and was never "undisputed" despite his frequent boasts. Steve Cunningham would have schooled him.

            How does his opponents being KOed before have any significance to how good they were when Haye faced them? By your logic Wlad is **** because he's been stopped. Haye fought the belt holders are they not the top cruisers? Haye has achieved a lot more than either Klitschko did at the same point of their careers. - Fact

              He held WBO, WBC and WBA-belts at one time. Please explain how someone gets all three of them by cherry picking.

              I think everybody would like him to fight a Klit, Adamek or Povetkin. But let's keep it real please.

              EDIT: 2 of his CW opponents were undefeated btw.

                The Britsh Queen Diva Gaye is claiming they fight old men? When he hasn't faced a man younger than 37? And isn't Diva Gaye yonger than his last four opponets by an average of 9 years?

                What a ****ing twat c*nt, why are some Brits too ****** to see through the facts?
