Haye gets screwed in the contract but still takes the fight.VIDEO

[ono]

Chris Byrd- was the #1 ranked heavyweight in the world at the time, and he had been #1 for at least a year. And that was not only by The Ring, but by every other legitimate boxing journalist.

Calvin Brock and Samuel Peter were both undefeated top 10 contenders.

Sultan Ibragimov- was a title unification

Tony Thopmson and Ray Austin were knockouts of alphabet mandatories

Lamon Brewster- avenging a loss

Hasim Rahman- well I will give you that one. Rahman was spent.

Their status in a piss poor division is irrelavent. Who cares who is the best out of a very bad bunch? It's actually painful to watch - that's how bad it is.

I wasn't saying it's Wlad's fault, he has actually fought pretty much all that is out there. My point is, the division is an embarassment. The majority of the 'eilite' fighters are a good 1-2 stone overweight.

David Haye brings something completely different to the table. He's not an overweight plodder who is going to stand in front of him like a sitting duck.

If people criticize him then so be it, but to the majority, it's no lesser an achievement than beating any of the other heavyweight fighters.

Chances are Haye will get ko'd but this fight is being talked about like no other heavyweight fight...maybe since Lewis - Vitali.

But David Haye's staus in another piss poor division is suppose to be relevant?

No but going to Paris to knockout the undisputed champion and then taking Enzo's belt off him in spectacular fashion is just as impressive as anything the other heavyweight contenders have done in recent times. Hell knocking Monte Barret down 5 times is more impressive than anything most other contenders have recently done.

SAY WHAT?!?!?!

Wladimir did that 9 years ago when Monte Barrett was RELEVANT IN THE DIVISION and only had 1 loss on his record and that was a SD to Lance Whittaker....and apprently it didn't impress all the Klitschko haters who frequent this site.

David Haye has beaten 2 heavyweights who have been RECENTLY KO'd by the likes of the lead fisted Nicolay Valuev and Audley Harrison. At least Cris Arreola has challenged himself at heavyweight and fought some decent competition....Walker was a heavy hitter, the two guys Haye has fought couldn't break wind much less crack a fighter's jaw AND David Haye did get knocked down by Barrett.

David Haye (and his fans) LOOOOVE talking shit, well I hope they find it amusing when Haye is drinking meat through a straw after eating a few too many right crosses
