I don't know if Haye truly believed he belonged or if he just didn't have the heart to do it, but shit he was certainly skilled enough to be the #2 man in the division he just had to go out and work for it and for whatever reason he didn't.
    Haye would not have lasted had it been early 1990's. He would have stayed at cruiserweight.
    I don't buy that either. Heavyweights were smaller then and regardless he didn't fight in the 90's and sans time machine he wouldn't so it's a moot point.
    I am saying if he did fight during that time he would have stayed at the lower weight.
    Yet a slower, shitter, featherfisted boxer of even smaller proportions, far less athletic and skilled and possibly even chinnier (Moorer) DID make it. In fact he even became HW champ.

    David Haye would have been one of Lennox's better opponents and would have thrashed most of the 90's HW's beyond any doubt. He was an excellent boxer. How can you take that much away from him?

    True Moorer proved chinny- but thats because he had a bangers mentality. Far too many bangers in the 90's who would've pressed Haye into a fight. Haye can outrun a giant of Wlad & Valuev, but the 90's HW's could cut the ring off. Haye loses 2 outta every 4 fights vs U pickem.

    Lewis thrashes Haye.
    None of the other 90's boxers besides Lewis could move like Wladimir.

    Yeah I am sure guys like Rahman and Holyfield would make mincemeat of Haye like a better sparring session. You fool!

    We're talking about the HW with some of the fastest and sharpest performance in boxing the world has ever seen here. That's not licking Haye's ass either, that's just stating fact.
    "Enough with the games mate! Your messing with the Grand Master!"

    Lennox Lewis

    Opinion, not fact, but hey; that's what you do, I guess.

    Yeah I am sure guys like Rahman and Holyfield would make mincemeat of Haye like a better sparring session. You fool!
    One day you should check out boxing--then you'd learn a few names besides Rahman & Holy. Oh, I forgot, you only post on HW's preferably your boner for Wlad, outside of that your history here shows that's all you post about. I guess 'cause that's all U know? & Just stop looking in the mirror as you type, then a fool won't come so easily to mind. Okay?

    Only you could use a pun like "licking ass" of a man. Max Power is back!
