    No

    I base my opinion on watching virtually all of his fights at Cruiserweight and his success in the division.

    Not on reading what other people say, so get your facts straight before yapping like a puppy.

    You beat some of the top boys at Cruiserweight and that makes you a top Cruiserweight.

    I never said he is an ATG, but during his time as a Cruiserweight he rose to the top.

    So stop being so angry it makes you come across as a child

    This thread was done before he signed for the Klit clash. He redeemed himself in my book by finally taking that fight, even if his performance wasn't great in the fight itself.

    i'm fan of Klitschko's but Haye is better than most think! He has himself to blame he choose the easy way to HW top he should have fought better opponents and more fights before Wlad as i feel he didn't have expierence to compete with Wlad.

    i voted "That beast KO'd Audley Harrison"

    Hes a future HOF for sure and IMO should of got the nod against Wlad. I had it 115-113 for Haye. Hes also been ducked by so many fighters its unreal, it took like 3 years for Wlad to get in the ring to face him and then when he got into the ring he played dirty and was lucky Haye had a major injury. P4P Haye is one of the most complete Heavyweights in the history of boxing.

    None of those options will sum up peoples future opinion of Haye.

    They will say something along the lines of, "Remember Haye! That shite boxer who had the dumbo skysports fans thinking he was the second coming of Joe Louis!"

    One of the best cruiserweights ever. Then he became a heavyweight contender and was defeated by Klitschko.

    He was good CW, but he didn't even beat cunningham- IBF belt holder. So it's not really clear if he was the best CW when steeping up to HW.

    That girl could run suits him the best, that's his tactic in 2 biggest fights in his career.

    Good CW who turned out the be a sideshow at HW. Could have stayed at CW and made a better legacy for himself but choose to retire rich.

    Just wondering. Do you think Haye ranks above Rince Naseem Hamed if he calls it an end to his career?

    people are too harsh on him.

    i'm not a fan, nor am i defending him, but for all of the people talking bollocks about him....

    he's ****ed more girls now than any of you keyboard warriors ever will.
    he's accomplished more than any of you keyboard warriors ever will.
    he's earned more money than any of you keyboards ever will.

    the fact that people still talk about him months after the wlad fight surely says something about him. he was a colorful heavyweight title holder, brought excitement to the division, fought an ATG heavyweight boxer arguably in his prime, fought and defeated the tallest heavyweight champion of all time (with his right hand broken, i might add) and was a great cruiserweight.

    for ****s sake, he fought wlad, didn't he? although the fight was fairly ****, at least he had the balls to do it.
    you don't see floyd fighting pac, do you? this says it all. you're all willing to suck floyd's dick & defend him, but when david actually makes an attempt to please everybody, he gets blasted for it.
