Don King was the real winner of Haye v Valuev

The problem is the top american athletes go to other sports for big money now, where they are not risking life and death. The likes of Tyson and Holyfield were similar size's to Haye and I would put a fortune on them in their primes walking through all todays HW's. They were class operators!

Tyson wasn't even 6 ft I believe, but I agree with your point about American fighters going to other easier sports. Unfortunately it's the nature of the game, fights are too infrequent and there can only really be one true champion. The reason the heavies are packed with europeans is because we have no sport that is as extreme as American Football when it comes to physique. I truely believe there is more than one Roy Jones playing in the NFL right now.

Haye cannot be compared to Tyson and Holyfield, he has worked his way to a title without really earning it. It is a very poor division. Look at how many fights Holyfield had to go through to get a shot at Buster. Haye would not have survived those battles.

Really?? I can't comment because it is not a sport I know a single thing about. I've herad the same thing said about Basketball but again can't comment.
