[TitoFan]

lyle, tszyu, mars, master


haye squeezed past valuev, he battered ruiz, and barring anything extreme he will win comfortably against chisora

Tito

Stop whinging

It's called "whining", Sherlock. And you're getting your ass kicked all over the thread on Haye. Why are you singling me out? You're making yourself out to look like the dick everyone knows David Haye is. Admit you're wrong and join the "Haye Is A Dick And Nowhere Near The # 3 Heavyweight" club.

[El Kabong]

He just hasn't fought enough for it....Haye could earn a top 3 spot (keyword: EARN) but hell he has taken the easy route ever since becoming a heavyweight and I told you guys 4 years ago "If moving from Cruiserweight to Heavyweight with success was so easy then everyone would do it".

Right now the heavyweight top 10 is like this:
1. Wladimir Klitschko
2. Vitali Klitschko
3. Tomaz Adamek
4. Alexander Povetkin
5. Cris Arreola
6. Tony Thompson
7. Ruslan Chagaev
8. Dereck Chisora
9. Kubrat Pulev
10. Seth Mitchell/Robert Helenius

David Haye hasn't fought since July of 2011 he doesn't deserve to be on the list.

you are spot on with your list

things is booth isnt saying haye is ranked 3rd or should be ranked third he is saying he is third

looking at your list nobody from 3 down would be favourite to beat haye

[El Kabong]

I'll do you one better Haye wouldn't get beaten by any of the fighters listed (bar Wlad, whom he "had to fight" to make big money) because Haye simply won't fight them......because he's a chickenshit ergo he's not #3, not ranked #3, not the 3rd best heavyweight, not the 3rd best anything

[rjj tszyu]

BUT he's still going to beat Chisora in better fashion than Vitali did. And then people are going to say things about Vitali you know? Things myself as a fan of Haye won't even agree with.

As far as talent goes I think Haye is 3rd right now. If I was an organisation ranking him I couldn't even place him right now as he is just not active enough. In fact I don't think he ever has been! One thing I'll give Wlad credit for is providing he's fit he'll fight 3-4 times a year. Haye is at his most active if he fights twice a year and now he has been out a full year no he cannot be ranked.

[Fenster]

How did Haye "have to fight Wlad to make big money?" They SPLIT about £30 million. They were equal partners. Wlad has never earned more against anyone else.

Haye made a reported £5 million for Audely. He's on a reported £3.5 million for Chisora.

The reason he doesn't have to fight those "ranked" heavyweights is because they are complete nobodies that offer him NOTHING. Haye's audience is BRITISH.

Guys like Adamek could have a wank in front of Big Ben and not get recognised here.

Im british and haye's not on my essential viewing list! And i'd recognise adamek like a shot btw! Who honestly bought any of hayes fights lol? Not me...

P.S A 40 YEAR OLD HARRISON WAS A 'SOMEBODY'??

if you if you recognise adamek so will everone else? and if you dont think that harrison was somebody enough to earn haye that large sum of money then it didnt happen?

well that settles it then, no point in continuing the discussion

the philosopher has just lived up to his name with a very philosophical reply

I should have called myself "Giant Knob"

You'd recognise Adamek because, I assume, you're a boxing fan. The MAJORITY of people that buy tickets/PPVs are "casual" fans (Haye has sold millions of PPV).

Audley Harrison is far more famous in Britain than Adamek. It's not rocket science to work-out why fighting more famous names is profitable.

Well smart guy if Haye didn't fight Wlad who else was he going to make that much against? In fact who not named 'Klitschko' could garner Haye that kind of money? And just remember Haye built that fight up for 4 years....4. It was a non-stop media blitz of "Super Trash Talker" David Haye, Steve Bunce, & Setanta for 4 full years.

Haye made that much money from Audley because British people are suckers for a "World Class Boxer"....it's not that Haye is all that great, it's that he's very British in that he talks a ton of shit, shows his ass, regards himself as some sort of boxing God, and doesn't fight all that great of opposition. It would be like if the England National Football team bragged & boasted that they were the greatest ever and then instead of playing Spain, Brazil, Argentina, etc they played Grenada, New Zealand, & American Samoa...but then again footie fans take the talent of opponents into consideration.

Haye's audiance is British because nobody else wants to watch the twat. Haye has an exaggerated image of himself, he's 10 pounds of crap in a 5 pound bag.

1. British people are thick.

2. Even though Haye (ENG) fought Wlad (ESP) he's scared to challenge the best.

3. Haye's audience is British because he's British (and they're all thickos).

Genius.

I'd agree with that. If Haye was to fight anyone below number 2 he would be favourite with the bookmakers.

[THE PHILOSOPHER]

Povetkin is the 3rd best.

[Fatsandman]

You'd definitely recognize Haye if you saw him in the street. He'd be the one with 'David Haye, AKA The Hayemaker' written on his shirt.

I really think Chisora scores a big win against Haye. I think Chisora Takes over after the fifth and takes either a decision or late TKO

I dont think there will be any taking over, Chisora will be pressing the action and be up in hayes face from the 1st.

Haye needs a fighter to be scared of getting hit or scared of their defensive skills for him to do well. If he gets pressured and doesnt get the space and time to work he cant throw his shots as he wants. Remember the Fragomeni fight? The man had no power and just bored forward like Arthur Abraham and Haye looked shit and was out on his feet knackered, falling in to the ropes until the italian just quit without even being hurt! If he had been a puncher, Haye would have been out of there.

Chisora may not be a puncher but his shots will and and will hurt Haye and Haye will tire from being forced to work and after a few rounds the speed and power just wont be there, then the stronger man will win and that will be Chisora.
