Oh, I'm sorry I forgot Haye got cut in the Maccarinelli fight, it must have really had a chance to bother him as the fight went TWO FUCKING ROUNDS!!!! Be serious.

Tony Thompson IS a skilled fighter, he isn't powerful with his punches but IMO he's skilled enough to beat any number of top rated heavyweights. He battered Luan Krasniqi and that's decent, he outboxed Guinn and Timor Ibragimov, but the reason Thompson isn't able to really make a name for himself is because he's 6'6 about 250 pounds and he's a southpaw....nobody wants to fight that. Who out there right now (bar Wladimir) would you give a chance to beat Thompson David Haye? We don't know much about Haye or how he'd handle that style, sure you can say he'd do well but Haye hasn't been in with a guy that big with that good of a chin and yeah he has a very good chin. Sam Peter, Cris Arreola, Ruslan Chagaev, Nicolay Valuev, Alexander Povetkin, Alexander Dimitrenko...I think Thompson could beat at least half of those guys.

I wish David Haye fought an elimination bout vs Alexander Povetkin before fighting Wladimir...I mean if Wladimir KO's him in 1 round then everyone will say "He's a nobody, he hasn't beaten anyone, he only had 2 heavyweight fights, he's only beaten Monte Barrett and Tomaz Bonin" had Haye actually beaten a "live body" instead of some tomato can then MAYBE I'd feel better about his chances....that's not me being a Klitschko fan, that's me being a boxing fan.
