Eubank and Naz both did the same and got paid. Both won many fights and won many title fights - Haye already was a 3 belt holder at Cruiserweight and he did that the Professional way - win the British title then beat the best in Europe.(No easy route)
Struggled at the weight but hung around for his shot and took it - in the champions backyard. (An Englishman is never the most welcomed of people in France) Then Unified and gave the UK fans a fight they wanted to see against Enzo Mac.
I think the most anti Haye are the Yanks but they always have been when its come to UK Heavyweights - so no surprises there but now it is laughable as there isn't a US Heavyweight in the World that is any good anymore - Kirk Johnson (or is it Kevin?

) and 'fat' Chris are the best and they are practically novices.
Haye may fail - after all he'll be giving away weight and height in most fights but the man will go down trying and cause excitement - What will the US Heavy's be doing? Wheeling out Rahman again?, Locking Arreola's fridge? We already had the excitement of Calvin Brock and Tony Thompson ZZZzzz.. maybe Shannon Briggs - is he still fighting?
What has happened to US Heavyweight Boxing - it would be laughable if it weren't so sad.
You better hope Haye succeeds cos the division will go back to it's comatose state otherwise.
Sure Haye has done well for himself...I don't think there is anyone out there trying to deny that...Those who do are looking at him strictly on his personality and overlooking everything else.....The fact that people do not believe he will beat Wlad has nothing to do with personality....Him acting like an ass all the time has nothing to do with where he is from...Yo9u use the word "Yanks" in almost a prejudice fashion......Guess what "Yanks" hate all arrogant cusse's no matter where they are from including here...
As for your comment on American heavyweights you say it in an almost mocking fashion...like you are on some competition show and there are teams...This is not the UK Vs USA contender fan show....but just to get a few things out of the way....
1. You have 2 ranked Hwts from UK Haye and Skelton (How haye is ranked after 1 fight is beyond me it was against Barrett for gosh sakes)
2. None of the champions are from the UK or USA....
3. Since we like to be sarcastic about the state of hwts in boxing today..lets not forget it is just today where the hell were your hw greats throughout history?....Other then Lennox my #1 all time fighter as everyone knows (just shows that our fan base has nothing to do with where a fighter is from...but to be fair the "Brits did not want to claim him until he became great so what does that say about you guys?)....
The last time I looked...
Jack Johnson, Jack Dempsey, Gene Tunney, Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Liston, Patterson, Foreman, Ali, Tyson, Frazier, Holyfield, Bowe, Charles....
All came from the US.....
To go further we out rank your fighters in the ATG catagory in every division....
Over the last 5-10 years the best fighters from your country have been Hatton...Who was embaressed by an American fighter, Naz who was embaressed by a Mexican fighter who was groomed for greatness in the states and Calzaghe who I am a fan of but seems awful convienient he failed to face any American top level fighter in their primes...Lacy was garbage before Calzage and I have said so before the fight he was garbage......
So you have 3 out of our 300....in terms of greatness....
Leave the word "Yanks" and your sarcastic comments about the quality of our fighters out ofn it because we have proven time and again in history books we put out the superior product.....
BTW boxings 2 ATG Ray Robinson and Hank Armstrong were "Yanks"
So giggle your ass off on that sadness......
And in no way my British friends is any of thAT MEANT AS AN INSULT TO ANY OF YOUR OR YOUR FIGHTERS JUST A REMINDER TO AN ARROGANT ASSHOLE WHO THINKS HE IS CUTE
