And Haye has right? You not knowing who Gomez is sounds more like a personal problem. The WBC knows who he is considering he's Vitali's number 1 contender.

Me not knowing who he is? The guy who beat Antonio Tarver in the Olympics? Just because your in love with every Cuban, doesn't mean they deserve the big fights, once again what has he done at Heavyweight? Who has he beaten at heavyweight? Also Tony Thompson was the number 1 contender for Wlad's belt, does that mean he deserved it? Gomez is good, but definitely not the right opponent for Haye, he isn't well known enough, he dissapeared after he was a cruiserweight, and once again the guys I mentioned we can compare Haye's performances to those of Wlad. Gomez is a southpaw who won't be talked about after Vitali crushes him.

That sucks about Brock, I really liked him, his wife was a lawyer, I think he has a business degree, either way he is good to go.

He won a title eliminator. He's also been fighting ranked fighters at heavyweight since 2003. He's also beat the best heavyweight that Turkey has ever had

He's actually won two. The fight against McCall was (supposedly) an eliminator too, but the whole Peter/Maskaev/Vitali circus kinda screwed him over. After winning two eliminators, you'd think he'd be up there deserving a shot.

Also, he was WBC Cruiserchamp when he moved up, and while there may be a case for suggesting that merits in Cruiser dont count when evaluating HW, surely it is not a case that can be used for Haye?

Haye is fighting Vitali. It is as well as signed. The point is moot.

Does beating Haye help Vitali's legacy or standing?

I don't think it helps his standing, the only way to do that at this point would be to to fight Wlad. It would however help his legacy, beating a young strong fighter with a big name.
