You get more stupidier everyday.

Point being Ali may have got knocked down in his early days he never lost and got stopped. He also went on to become undisputed champion, beat the best fighters in the division and become a legend.

You were saying.....
I just said SOME early opponents because I cannot be bothered running an analysis comparison. Let's just say that Carl Thompson was a decent modern opponent for Haye at CW.

Without delving too far into speculation, I think it's a bit naïve of you to think that Carl Thompson couldn't beat maybe all of the 200lb and below opponents on Ali's record. Carl Thompson was a good boxer!

Now let's look at the actual fight. Haye was serving Thompson a thrashing, ahead on all score cards, when he was caught and TKOed on his feet. Cruiserweight is a heavy division. The punches really hurt other cruiserweights. It should come as no surprise that upsets can occur. Verdict? Haye proved in his loss that he was skilfully more adept than Thompson, and that he let his defences down and paid the price, simple.

It's obvious Haye>Thompson. Thompson does not bummify Haye.

Haye basically has NEVER been strictly "outboxed" if you will, as a professional apart from by Wladimir Klitschko. Let's all hang rubbish on Haye for losing only to the dominant HW champ!
