    How is David Haye still a top 4 heavyweight? Goodness me. Sad state.

      True,, these guys are the most skilled heavys but its a fun division to watch if the fights get made,,,

      like GeneralZod said, haye-fury is a good start,,,

      throw in
      wilder-chisora
      cunningham-price
      huck- povetkin 2
      stiverne vs chisora
      wilder-mitchell
      adamek-huck

      just to name a few,,, their is alot of exciting fights to make,,, not the most talented bunch but fun to watch,,

      way better than when the division was:
      rahman-ruiz
      holy-byrd
      bryd-quendo
      etc

      I have seen worse eras before

        Top 4? He might be the best after Wlad, depending on how far gone Vitali is.

          As boring as those fighters may be, Ruiz and old Evander and Chris Byrd would beat almost all the contenders today. James Toney would beat them.

            Lamon Brewster
            John Ruiz

            Calvin Brock
            Wladimir Klitschko
            Samuel Peter
            Nicolay Valuev


            Even that looks better than what we have now.

              Who would be your top 4,,, obviously

              1. wlad
              2. vitali
              3. povetkin???
              4.??????

              I think haye has a good win over chisora, iced a guy that went distance with fury, vitali, helenius...

              i think haye is 3 and pulev is 4, povetkin is 5 Just IMO

              but yes its a pretty weak talent division

                It was rhetorical in pointing out how bad the division is.

                Haye, with 1 win in 2 years over bottom tier Chisora, is a top 4 heavyweight.
