    Agreed. Like I said, he was dangerous for two rounds. Even in his prime, his stamina was terrible, which is why he was KO'ed by by Hasim Rahman. And probably why Vitali wanted no parts of Rahman.

      I'm a huge Vitali fan, and I hate to admit it, but he does have a decent resume. nothing more. (Wlad is another story though)

        If Haye had beaten Wlad, I would be screaming for this fight, but look what happened there. He wound up embarrassing himself after the fight with that toe injury. Haye's most annoying quality is his most notable attribute. He does a lot of talking, very good on the mic. But he'd rather do that than actually fight. Instead of remaining active and beating the other HWs like Povetkin/Adamek/Price/Fury, he rests on his ability to talk to get a fight with the biggest names in the division. He's a very hard fighter to support. 28 fights in ten years, seriously??

          Wlad IS another story and that's what is so frustating about the Vitali hoopla. I understand they're brothers but, at the end of the day, they are two different fighters. And only deserves to be in the HOF.

            Rid**** Bowe was capable of being a true ATG but he didn't fulfill that promise.

            Being capable means diddly squat.

              I remember when Haye ducked Vitali in the summer of 2009 and fought Arreola instead, Cristobal called Haye a "vagina".

                I remember when Vitali had that standout performance against...oh wait.

                    I guarantee anyone who votes for the top 2 options will not post and explain their reasoning.

                      As for Haye running for 12 rounds. That's laughable. He's a blown up Cruiser and gets no props from people like you yet Klit couldn't knock him out or even land one telling punch to put him on the canvas.
                      I like I said I don't need to formulate some long boring drawn out argument, his resume and wins on video that you could easily find if you wanted speak for themselves he has fought some good and dangerous fighters but yes doesn't have a fantastic resume.

                      As for Haye we all knew or anyone that knew what they would be watching that he had a slim punchers chance early to make Wlad uncomfortable and not allow him to impose his normal rhythm on him and he failed to take a chance when he got his big opportunity just resolving to survive and not get hurt.
