In an odd way I like the Heavyweight division being in a somewhat rebuilding phase.It killls me when Im making small talk through the day and some one ask me "Yeah,I like Boxing........BTW, when is Tyson fighting again" or some broadbrush s!!! like that.They have absolutly no clue about the current sport & the great fighters they are missing.Part time suedo fans Lol.The exposure and huge lighter weight fights that we have seen the last number of years is great.......and a long time coming.Point blank....The days of The mostly American Heavyweight dominance are gone.
I do see Haye as lighting some fires and creating an Interest just on sheer volume of voice and showmanship,Not to mention a big right hand.He will need far more than that to duplicate the past accomplishmnets of top heavys like Tyson,Holyfield,Lewis,etc.No man does it alone ,They all helped put each other on the front page in different ways.
