Hype of Danny William, Hype of Audley harrison and now Hype of David Haye?

[p4pking]

Lyle, if you make me a top 20 HW's list that has Klitschko in it.. Well I'd just like to see who you'd do the injustice of leaving them out for Wlad.

[Deanrw]

viewed it a gazillion times and I cant see a landed punch..

I agree. He pawed with his left and it landed on Haye's shoulder. The punch did not send him back. I think their feet got tied up and Haye stumbled when pulling back.

[El Kabong]

No he can't.

He can....if he wins 10-20 more fights vs the best this division has to offer then he's up there with them.

1. Joe Louis
2. Rocky Marciano
3. Muhamad Ali
4. George Foreman
5. Jack Johnson
6. Larry Holmes
7. Jack Dempsey
8. Ezzard Charles

I don't think william is that much better than haye but it surely is one of the worst comparison. prime William went 8 round against Vitali KLitschko
I really doubt haye will Last more that few round against any top HW fighter, and we will see

Prime william? hahah... he looked like a fucking whale for god's sake...

[Althugz]

At 1 min of the video Enzo catches Haye with a short left hook on the inside...

I thought that was the punch you were talking about when I watched it back but to me it looked like it missed. He actually loses his balance IMO with that right hand he tries to throw at the same time as the short hook from Enzo. I'm almost 100% sure even if that short hook did land it was a glancing blow at best and not the reason that Haye was sent back. It's an awkward viewing angle though bro..it may have landed, it may have not

Lyle you kow I usually agree with you on things but...Lennox at 13!!!!!....I usually rate Lennox 4th though I understand many do not agree but He deserves a top 10 no matter hos you look at it...You have Liston at 9 and the only defense he made of the title was his rematch with Patterson

[El Kabong]

And your list is where?

[WelshDevilRob]

sanders was beaten by his bro in the next fight, am not saying wladimir had to lose to purity and by the way purity had 13 losess when he fought wladimir not 20 losses, purtiy also broke morrison jaw and obviously knock him down, but he wasn't 42 year old like carl thompson, and neither he had a weak chin like thompson and after 11 round wladimir ran out of steam against durable purity comparing to 5 round of haye being ko by thompson.
I can understand a 22 yrs old wladimir not knocking out durable heavyweight purity but thomson has been stopped by many soft puncher, where was haye power

I will not go in circle so I will not waste any more time on this nonsense

Ross Purity was a journeyman who beat Wladimir cos Wladimir ran out of steam and quit.

Carl Thompson was a former world champion and still a high ranked contender when Haye lost to him by punching himself out and running out of steam in only his 11th fight.

There's the difference Haye lost to a champion while Klitschko lost to a journeyman.

Neither fight has any real relevance on the fighters now. So don't know why those fights keep coming up.

For example:
Its like harking on about Hagler losing a fight to Bobby Watts just when he was about to fight Thomas Hearns. The Watts fight had no bearing on what will happen in the Hearns fight as Hagler had gained alot more experience and was near his best - just a silly soundbite used by some fans to make a lame point.

Tunney made two title defenses and retired...an old Dempsey is the only true name on his record at heavyweight

Lewis got sparked out by Rahman in his prime (or at the tail end of it)

Foreman was not only great in his first career but also in his second run at his career

Holyfield didn't have the consistency to be rated in the top 10

Other then Marciano name a HW who has not been beaten during their best years?.....Louis was starched by Schmelling before he won the title..Lewis also came back and made easy work Rahman in the rematch, also he did not train 3 weeks before the fight and was spending late nights filming Oceans 11.....It was more the fact Lennox gassed out and was prime at the time of the KO

Holyfield was at or near the top for the better part of a decade....From 1990-2000 he was part of 13 title fights.....The only men to beat him in his prim were Bowe and Lewis...Two top 20 ATG hwts. He was only KO'd twice in 9 losses...By Toney way past his better years and a much Bigger Prime Bowe...He also had one of the Best HW triligies with Bowe....He won the title what 4 times I think....Pretty damn impressive IMO


Agreed on Foreman he was great both runs

[El Kabong]

Ezzard Charles and Joe Walcott had to win the title between reigns of JOE LOUIS and ROCKY MARCIANO ....they had some good fights between themselves as well.

Your are really confusing me, I have no idea what you are talking about and yes I did find that other topic by chance and am not the only one who replied to it, I was interested in it since my hero Muhammad Ali was mention and right now my favourtie boxer Wladimir.
I really don't care if you believe me or not but I won't be replying back to anybody who accuses me of doing silly things.
Why would I have 2 different account for? I'm have been very nice to you and I haven't accused you for being those other account that are jealous of Wladimir.

Right now Wladimir is not great as Ali, ALi retired at 41, wladimir is 31 also I love Ali more because of the things he done outside the ring, I loved it when he stood against the american goverment especially when they forced him to go war, how many great are there like him on this planet?
How many people like Ali risk everything for the right thing?

So right now Wladimir is not on ALi level

You make it too easy when your hiding let me give you some tips, don't go into a very old Wladimir thread where the same guy who started that topic was a fruitcake with broken English who sucked up to Wlad like you old son

Holyfield was at or near the top for the better part of a decade....From 1990-2000 he was part of 13 title fights.....The only men to beat him in his prim were Bowe and Lewis...Two top 20 ATG hwts. He was only KO'd twice in 9 losses...By Toney way past his better years and a much Bigger Prime Bowe...He also had one of the Best HW triligies with Bowe.

Also as a side note in regard to one of the two Holyfield KOs. The first one against Bowe happened more so because of Holyfield's physical issues. If I remember correctly he'd been diagnosed with Hep A and his training had been interrupted because he'd caught the flu a few weeks before the fight. He was easily outpointing a fat, unmotivated Bowe and instantly ran out of steam in the 2nd or 3rd. When he went down for the last time he was throwing HUGE haymakers, trying to rip Bowe's head off before he collapsed. Bowe didn't knock him out, Holyfield knocked himself out.

Against James Toney, well, that was just a spanking. No way around that.
