    Where in your opinion would a win over Wlad place Haye, given that The Ring have Wlad at number 5?

    About that. Pound-for-pound there are more complete fighters... Pac, even Khan. Khan's got good defence and demon handspeed. If you take away Haye's size advantage I think Khan would outbox him.

    Around 8-10 I would think depending on how he beats him.
    Probably another good win after this would be needed to confirm a good P4P ranking.

    Even if Haye beats Wlad, he's not top 10. Maybe top 15

    Well if that's your criteria that's fine.

    Even if he beats Wlad, I can think of at least 12 fighters who are P4P better.

    Not quite with you but I can see what you mean.

    I think if he beats Wlad he's definitely up there, for me, mainly because of the lack of weight limits in HW division and his relative small size.

    There are loads better than Haye.

    Took 5 rounds by Barrett, 9 by Ruiz. Hasn't sparked anyone since Gurov. I'm not saying he's not a puncher but to say he's the most devastating "KO" artist in the world is way off.

    His speed enhances his power though. When he cracked Ruiz with that straight right and put him on his arse in the first round. That was some impressive ****.

    Interesting the ATG HW bit, where would you place him in a list of ATG HW's?
