    David Haye could have been the most dominant boxer ever lived

    David Haye is one of the most talented boxers ever. I just wished he stayed in cruiserweight. He could have been the most dominant boxer ever lived. He made a big mistake by moving up to heavyweight. I know he won a world title but still. David Haye was unstoppable as a cruiserweight.

    I’m not sure about unstoppable but he was an excellent cruiserweight at his peak.

    I think it was unfortunate that he was in an era where heavyweights were becoming giants. Holyfield was roughly the same size as a lot of HW’s when he moved up, there wasn’t much of a leap for the most part.

    Haye’s era and this era has a ridiculous size difference between cruisers and the big heavyweights

          It was very early in his career.

            Haye became very formidable after his first loss . He probably still losses to Usyk because Usyk just has that knack of taking away opponents strengths and keeping them just out of line to be a step ahead . Anyone that can make heavyweight goes there for bigger money it’s why you don’t see long term cruiserweights much otherwise they would stay there if they could . Haye , Usyk, Gassiev are just a few names that went into heavy weight for better or worse even Holyfield had a short run at Cruiserweight then targeted Mike Tyson seeking those dollars ,we’ll see how Gassiev does to .

              Holyfield would have got whooped in Haye's era and this era.

                  Not sure about the most dominant boxer ever, but? He was more talented than both Joshua and Fury 'When you dissect him as a fighter'. I still think he would of beaten Tyson Fury, even at the time they where both originally scheduled to fight.

                  That would of been a great fight.

                    Shut up...

                    He only had 2 title fights at Cruiserweight.

                    Got dropped in one and the other was against Enzo Mc... hardly proved he was “unstoppable”.
