ADAM BOOTH:Haye 3rd best HW in world! Where would you place Haye right now?

[imp]

As much as hayes last performance let the uk down. He is the 3rd best heavyweight..but who cares.

Fight vlad or vitali or dont bother fight again.

No....he's not. You do have to prove these things and so far Haye has only proven he can just barely squeak by so-so opposition in Valuev and Ruiz.

Haye lacks the mental strength and intestinal fortitude to be a legit heavyweight. Perhaps he shows everyone a thing or two vs Chisora but it's too little too late, his brand is that of a chicken. A shit talking wannabe gangster that folds up like a cheap lawn chair when he's met his match. Chisora is just "special"

[ruthless rocco]

i'd rank ali and foreman and norton and lennox and holmes and tyson and golota and bowe and douglas and holyfield and moorer and akinwande and tua and rahman and sanders and peter and jones jr ahead of him.

[TigerFan]

I'd place him in the top 10....Top 5 is debatable. For me he isn't active enough to warrant such a high ranking.

Compare his heavyweight resume to other top heavies.

Haye: Barrett TKO5, Valuev MD12, Jawny KO9, Audley KO3, Bonin KO1

Pulev: Skelton KO4, Guinn UD8, Vidoz UD8, Rossy KO5, Walker UD12, Sprott KO9, Dimitrenko KO11

Povetkin: Ahunanya W6, Donald UD10, Byrd KO11, Chambers UD12, Estrada UD10, Chagaev UD12, Boswell KO8, Huck MD12

Adamek: Golota KO5, Estrada UD12, Arreola MD12, Grant UD12, Aguilera UD10, Chambers UD12

Helenius: Bidenko KO3, Brewster KO8, Tony KO6, Peter KO9, Liakhovich KO9, Chisora SD12

Chambers: Rossy KO7, Guinn UD10, Brock SD12, Peter MD10, Dimitrenko MD12, Rossy UD12

Nah. I put him up there regardless. Certainly in the top 5. He performance against vlad was disgusting. Hope he gets another shot at the brothers end of this year.
I dislike what he is but he has still got the potential.
