    I see the comparison but Mike beat better competition and was undisputed champ.

    I don’t understand the Wilder hate though, from the start of 2018 he’s consistently chose to fight top competition.

    Fanboys are gonna fanboy though...
    I don't consider Mike being ''undisputed'' as a great accomplishment. I asked the forum in this thread what HW wouldn't be undisputed if those scrubs stood in the way.

    Haye would have been undisputed HW champ if he only had to worry about Berbick, Smith, Tucker and that other guy.

    Mike was a bad man but......not really.

      From reading around a ferocious fighter.

      Soon as Cus died it all started to dismantle. As others have alluded to on here Cus was like his surrogate dad and held him together physically and emotionally. Soon as King got hold him it started to unravel.

      Iam no expert on boxing having only read around eg boxing autobiography's etc and what I see on the television and old boxing videos but I have a feeling other fighters may have been technically better.Hence Muhammad Alli,Lennox Lewis and even modern day fighters like Fury.What Tyson had though was a bit like Wilder has today ferocious power albeit a boxer as well ?

        I think that’s debatable, I’m not saying they were murderers row, but does Haye even have a credible win above 200 lbs?

        Tucker, Smith and Bruno were all decent fighters.

          A "shell of Larry Holmes" that beat a Ray Mercer that gave Evander Holyfield hell in his prime FOUR YEARS LATER in 1992.

            Haye has a shltty HW resume as well but he would have beaten those ''champs''

              When Mike called on Holmes, Holmes was a shell of himself. Holmes even admitted as much in an interview...
              ''I wasn't going to pass up that money.''
