    David Haye's cruiserweight acheivments?

    David Haye was undisputed (?) cruiserweight champion and now wba heavyweight champion, but how good is his record really?

    I don't know much about the cruiserweight division which he fought in, the only fighter I would know of is Enzo Mac. So here are my questions - what were his best wins at cruiser? Mormeck who he won his titles from, how good was he? Was he a prime champion? How strong was the division? How dominant a champion was Haye?

    Can anyone clue me in on this as I've only started to follow Haye's career since his move up.

    He was never undisputed cruiserweight champ.

      But was he considered the man at cruiser?

        Beating Mormeck was a pretty good win, but Mormeck was 40 years old at the time I believe. It was a very weak division at the time (and still is).

          Yeah, but that's not saying a lot. His best win at cruiser was an old Mormeck

            He was floored by a few of those cruisers.

              He never had the IBF title.

              He brags about being "undisputed" but he ducked Cunningham, who called him out some weeks after his Mormeck fight.

              Haye won only two title fights at cruiserweight: past-prime Mormeck and glass-chinned Macarinelli.

              He avoided the best cruiserweights like Cunningham, Jones, Adamek and Wlodarczyk. None of those had ever been stopped.

              Haye always choosesr OLD, FADED opponent or GLASS-CHINNED ones.

                hayes career = talking at a camera and beating fighters age 38-40

                i dont know if anyone has ever been so blatant about it, UK scene is weird to even tolerate him much less make him a superstar

                  Not a lot of love for Haye I see.

                  What about Fragomeni? I've heard it said that this is his best win as he was in his prime and undefeated. I guess I'm trying to figure out what Haye's signature win is or is his cruiserweight acheivments not up to much?

                  Thanks for all the info guys btw, much appreciated.

                    Yeah those all would have been excellent challenges for him, he is just a disappointment and a poor representative for the sport. The sooner he retires and becomes an actor the better.
