ADAM BOOTH:Haye 3rd best HW in world! Where would you place Haye right now?

[SweetPea]

I think Haye is clearly the most talented/skilled heavyweight other than the Klitschkos.... which is what made his no-show performance against Wlad so disappointing.

Based on what? His fights vs Barrett, Valuev, & Ruiz? Face facts he was a solid cruiserweight, but at heavyweight he has yet to prove himself but he has been given plenty of chances to do so. You run your mouth (for years) and you come up empty and people will judge you based on what you said you were going to do and quite frankly I'm not that impressed. Haye fought Wlad the way Sultan Ibragimov fought Wlad...it was a huge disappointment and Haye should have stayed retired.

[AdamGB]

He's retired and not fought yet, so he can't be rated. If and importantly how he dispatches of an improving chisora should tell us something.

[samhussyusa]

Nice information.

Helpful information everyone likes

[rjj tszyu]

I think he is the 3rd HW yes!

I guarantee he KO's Del Boy though and then people WILL draw comparisons with the Vitali fight against Chisora and then imaginations will start running again!

Vitali is aging fast too.

[Nameless]

top 3? if someone gives me a reason for it. I'd place a few names way before him at the moment (including Adamek).

[THE PHILOSOPHER]

Chisora and povetkin are ahead of haye as of right now, arguably so are chambers, thompson and adamek.

If you're talking about his mouth, he's #1. If you're talking about where he stands against other top heavyweights, he stands at five or six. One thing for sure, thanks to his mouth, I'll never pay to see him fight again.

That is the problem with Haye and his manager. They think they are above all heavyweights and should not have to fight them because of what he achieved at Cruiserweight. They are so far up there own ass that they cannot see they look like a bunch of prats. There is no way Haye is the 3rd best heavyweight in the world based on his performances. The B level Americans like Arreleo and others would love to stomp on Haye. I also think Price and Fury would stand a chance against Haye.

Very few if anyone told me "Listen, Lyle....you were right man" even after Haye didn't do anything for 12 rounds with Wladimir, they just forgot all about it or became angry at Haye, I never got any credit. I was 100% correct.


And Steve Bunce is a fucking tool as well

This pretty much sums up what Haye's all about. I'm sure Haye's fans will have some sort of "counter-point", but nothing can change these facts.

I also think that haye could well be the third best HW in the world or even 2nd

I havent seen anything from any of the others to tell me he isnt and vital didnt exactly show he still has it in his last fight

to give an official ranking of third is unjust tho

What!

Even Chagaev is level pegging for achievments at heavy

Can everyone just stop and think, what are Hayes achievments at heavy?

Bonin, Barrett, Harrison, Valuev, Ruiz, & lost to Wladimir Klitschko....but he has to get credit for talking shit for his entire career. Not everyone is comfortable making an ass out of themselves on such a high level.

you are both right on one thing, david haye is a tool

but this is not connected in any way with boxing ability

for instance, I'm fuckin ace but shit at boxing, get me?
