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

    EDIT: 1 of his CW opponents was undefeated btw.
    Haye had only TWO title fights at cruiser weight:

    1) Old Mormeck, who had been previously stopped by O'Neil Bell. Mormeck nearly KOed him, but he used an illegal rabbit punch to survive that round.

    2) Delicate-chinned Maccarinelli, who would never have had a cruiserweight world title if not for Warren's shady dealings setting him up for a vacant title against a clubfighter he'd already beaten.

    Haye ducked the best at cruiserweight, namely Cunningham, Adamek, Wlodarzcyk, and G. Jones.

      Adamek had beat nobody at cruiserweight when Haye decided to move up, how was he ducking him?

        No, at that time Adamek had already defeated several cruiserweights such as O'Neil Bell and was the mandatory for Kevin Cunningham.

        Adamek defeated Cunningham and won the IBF cruiserweight title in the late fall of 2008, around the same time as Haye his fight with Monte Barrett.

          Adamek fought O'Neil Bell after Haye had already announced he was moving up, Adamek had fought 2 bums before that fight. Get your facts straight.

            Wow, you won! GTFO - 36/37 point is he was 29 and Valuev was 36, that's a 7 year difference. The Kltischkos face yong undefeated HWs in their prime (Arreola, Peter, Jhonson, Chagaev, Ibragimov, Chambers, etc) all while being much much older than their competion (in the case of Vitaly but Wlad is no spring chicken either at 34). While Gaye has been picking on 36, 37, 38, and 39 year olds in his last four fights, all while being 28-30.

            The fact that Diva Gaye has any fans still make me question the intelligence of those fans, given that they have access to uncontravenable facts and all it would is for them to examine those facts. Instead they just read a press release from Brit Queen Gaye.

              John Ruiz: age 38 old, run-down, had been inactive

              Audley Harrison: turns 39 next week, older than Shannon Briggs

              Is there a pattern here?
              Haye has a very weak resume. He only fights old shot bums.

                    He has to fight Chagaev or Boytsovs soon or he should be stripped. Thats for sure.

                      He'll duck Chagaev for as long as he can. Ruslan will end up fighting for an interim title.
