Is David Haye ranked in the Top 50 ATG HWs?

[brocktonblockbust]

I could not name 50 heavyweight champions and I am sure his name would drop in eventually.

Even if he is, that is no big deal.

Better Haye than Seldon.

Off the tip of my tongue:

Johnson
Dempsey
Willard
Louis
Marciano
Walcott
Patterson
Johanssen
Jeffries
Tunney
Carnera
Baer
O Sullivan
Liston
Clay
Frazier
Foreman
Ali
Spinks
Holmes
Norton
Tyson
Douglas
Holyfield
Bowe
Lewis
Ruiz
Rahman
McCall
Klitschko
Fury
Peter
Valuev
Wilder
Stiverne

There that's 36 champs compiled in 1:30 seconds

Thats up to 53 someone else take over

Jack Sharkey, Smith, Bruno, Coetzee, Dokes, Weaver....

Just out of respect to all those true HW's who campaigned at that weight throughout their careers.... and worked their way up the ranks like everybody else... and got no shortcuts to fight the champions, until their own careers merited a shot at the title... I would say HELL NO.

Unless of course there had only been 51 heavyweights in the history of boxing... and then only grudgingly I would say "yes" to the question.
Which by the way I thought was a joke at first, but maybe it wasn't.

I would feel comfortable placing Haye in the top 150-200 heavyweights ever. If we are talking guys who shoot their mouths off and underperform, then show no shame in making ridiculous excuses for losing, I place him solidly in the top 2-3 p4p ever. Guy is a great hype job because looks the part, has talent, and shoots his mouth off better than most, but rarely backs it up against top competition (if ever).

I like that bud. Yeah I'll put 'im at 199 out of 200.

I thought the same thing.

I wrote "Peter" in original post.

[denilson200]

Would you rank guys like Pinklon Thomas, Oliver McCall, Ernie Shavers, Frank Bruno, ahead of Haye?

It's not exactly hard to get in the top 50. I mean I reckon I must get in the top 200

Ali. Frazier.Norton. Dempsey. Tunney. Marciano. Liston. Holyfield. Bowe. Lewis. Holmes. Ezzard Charles. Paterson. Louis. Foreman. W.Klitschko. V.Klitschko. Jack Johnson. Tyson

These heavies are absolute musts. But that's still leaves 31 spaces ? So it's gonna be padded out with the likes of David Haye. You could throw Ingmar Johannsen and Max Schemiling, but even that leaves 28 to fill. So Haye easily get's in.

Great point..... schmeling
