    Is David Haye the best opponent Wladmir Klitschko has ever faced?

    I know that Wladimir is by far the best opponent Haye has faced but do you guys consider Haye the best opponent Wlad has faced as well?

    Wlad has faced many better opponents than Haye.

    Prime 2000 Barrett
    Prime 2000 Byrd
    Prime 2002 McCline (coming off a 19 fight winning streak)
    Age 41 Mercer
    Prime 2004 Brewster
    Prime 2005 Peter
    Calvin Brock
    Sultan Ibragimov
    2007 Thompson (not now though, he looked bad in his last fight)
    2009 Ruslan Chagaev (faded since then, as we saw in November)
    Eddie Chambers

    David Haye is on the same level as Derrick Jefferson: he's a dangerous puncher, but otherwise not a world-class heavyweight.

        Haye has done very little at heavyweight to justify calling him one of Wlad's best opponents.

        He might be the best cruiserweight Wlad has faced.

        Via his mouth, Haye has convinced the world -- well, some of the UK, anyway -- that he is a great heavyweight, but as of now, the proof is lacking. Against the best heavyweight that he has faced, Valuev, Haye looked like crap and could have, even SHOULD have, lost the fight.

            Not the best, just the most dangerous I can think of. He poses a one punch threat and has speed and power.

                Haye will be one of the best, but you can't say he's a tougher fight than, say, Merciless Ray Mercer or Corrie Sanders.

                  Don't do your self like this, Tunney. Of all people, a 41 year old Mercer? Peter? Brock? Thomas? Chambers? Barrett??? Dude, you are seriously trolling now.

                    The 00' Byrd would 12 round clown Haye for a boring, lopsided UD.

                    Ray Mercer and Corrie Sanders fans would still be arguing about why one of them KO'd Haye more brutally/quicker than the other...
