Haye is everywhere!!

[skel1983]

I find it laughable really. Holyfield, Ruiz and Chagaev all beat Valuev as well or better than Haye.

Valuev has only fought four fighters of any note, lost to all and Haye probably did the worst.

All he demonstrated is he's roughly at the same level as an almost 50 year old Evander and John Ruiz.

So going off your theory, that Mayweather is around about the same level as Cory Spinks and is inferior to Miguel Cotto, Kosta Tszyu and Joshua Clottey as they all beat Zab Judah in better fashion

Mayweather beat Judah much better than Spinks did. Spinks was ko'd in the second fight and only barely survived the 12th round in the first.

As for Floyd against Cotto, Tszyu and Clottey we wouldn't know because Floyd doesn't fight people in the same weight class as him.

Lol Haye had Valuev wobbled in the 12th aswell , something Ruiz Chagaev or Holyfield didnt do so does that not count in your theory??

He's been all over BBC world for the past 3 days. I don't quite get it, I had never imagined it as being a megafight. It certainly didn't look like a megafight of note.

I've watched the fight properly now and think Haye did enough to win, but it was a stinking bore. Haye/Wlad....who will dare throw a punch....yawn.

I told a mate a week before this fight that due to the intrigue surrounding valuev this would be huge for haye if he were to come away with a win

He`ll make his millions when he gets home thats for sure, us lot on here know he beat the weakest heavyweight of the 3. But the media outlets are having a field day informing everyone how a born and bred brit beat a 7foot 2 monster!!

The BBC is telling everyone Haye is THE Heavyweight champ of the world. Which is true, but it also disregards the fact that there are two better fighters than him with better records who are proven champions also. Haye is a paper belt holder, it isn't as significant as the BBC are making out. I'm genuinely pleased that Haye did well, but the media is going a tad over the top here.

Its far from the truth

Wlad owns 2 of the 4 respected versions of the belts. He is heavyweight champion of the world

If haye beats vitali even then it would just make him co-holder of the heavyweight championship of the world.

Miles you sound like an anorak Of couse he isnt THE world champion or even the best heavyweight in the world but if you were trying to sell news would you have as your headline....

WORLD CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!

or

David Haye won a portion of the world title last night against the weakest opposition.

That would be my headline although I'd preface David with 'dismal' and add 'in controversial fashion' after weakest opposition.

Yeah, I know!

I just expect a little more from my BBC sometimes. The news goes all over the world and people generally listen to the BBC and are now thinking "righty, the British guy is now the heavyweight champ!".

He does deserve props for getting the win, I grant him that. Dull fight, but he did enough in the end. Just think the Beeb were a little over the top. I came home today and they were on about it again.
