I don't discount Haye's "ability" I doubt his attitude and willingness to prove he's top 3....at least Chisora is willing to take on all comers: Fury, Helenius, Vitali...and it didn't take years and years for those fights to happen. Sure Chisora boiled condensed his twattish behavior to fit within a few weeks build up, but the point is he was willing to prove himself in the ring.

The problem I (and most others have) with David Haye is that he thinks he can debate himself into being thought of more highly in the sport. He tries to talk his way to high status rather than fight his way there....to make it simple for you David Haye is less Frank Bruno and more Jeremy Kyle
