Most all former cruisers that move up to heavy are always featherfists, even Holyfield, but Haye seemed to carry his power with him as well as his speed. Not that durable but so good he didn't really get hit much anyway!
Did he fuck!

There was Steve Cunnigham who was also a world champion at the time. He held the IBF title.

Haye wanted no part of him after he had knocked out Marco Huck.

Always bugs me when Haye and idiots call Haye the undisputed champ because there was another very good fighter around he completely side stepped.
Again, you do realise in the current landscape of boxing how difficult it is to become undisputed holding all 4 major belts at the time and keeping them? With one belt forcing you to fight someone and then another threatening to strip another? Things were a lot simpler back in the day. I don't think Haye sweated Cunningham! Fuck, look at the performance of Haye by comparison! No matter what he did you will always find some minor little issue to pick on, same for any other current and recent fighter but you can somehow choose to overlook the vast and more serious problems that would be encountered by your past time heroes.
You could then! This was 2007!

You said he cleaned out a division...

He only fought two of the top ten at that time, avoided another champion, only had two world title/championship level fights and never defended those titles together.

Hardly cleaning out a division.
Fair enough then, I wouldn't say he avoided him though, I'd say he achieved enough there to be considered the top dog by far. He was better than Adamek and Cunningham with any serious reflection. Close enough for me
He was stopped by an ancient worn out Carl Thompson. He was not guaranteed to beat any of the other top cruisers at the time. Huck, Bell, Braithwaite, Cunningham, Adamek, all could have beaten him.
