David Haye is SIGNIFICANTLY better than Povetkin, Adamek, Ibragimov, Solis & Helenius

He can't match either Klitschko brother (then again, who can?) but he is still head and shoulders above all the relevant contenders of recent years. I concurr a fit Solis might be up there but other than that nobody comes close to being as big a threat to a Klitschko as him. Well, admittedly hardly anybody expects him to beat Vitali but that is rather due to Vitali being a H2H killer than him being an unworthy contender.
In fact, I think despite his fairly poor effort vs. Wlad he is the best boxer on Wladimir's resume. Byrd does literally nothing better than him and neither do Ibragimov or Chambers who are considered to be among his best wins.

Haye's trash talk has hurt the feelings of many Klitschko fans and racists (like Silencer) who went on to call Haye an overrated bum as opposed to attributing this tremendous victory to Wlad's excellent boxing skills but that's how dumb racists are. Instead of admitting their hero beat one truly dangerous contender for once who makes one climb up the ATG ladder, they prefer diminishing their own fighter's win in order to insult the opponent and feel good.

 

Adamek is ****ing horrible at heavy. A fit solis might be competitive, Povetkin doesn't exactly lack the talent but the "fire" to win. He's a ***** too.

 

You guys still butt-hurt over the trash talk? Damn, get over it. It's boxing after all.

 

1. Chagaev did not beat him more convincingly. Remember Valuev landing even one freaking shot on Haye? I don't. Haye's low punch output made things look a little closer than they actually were. He literally didn't break a sweat beating Valuev and had him on ***** street with one shot in round 12 just for the fun of it.

Wlad had not adapted to Manny's fight style the time fought Peter in 2005.

Talking about talent, not resume. Haye's 200+ resume is fairly thin but he did look way more powerful, slick, fast and talented than a lot of previous contenders combined when he disposed of Valuev or Ruiz (only the second man to stop him!). And I really don't get your Chagaev talk. Ruslan is the epitome of a modern C-class HW who got nothing on Haye. Seriously, name one thing he does better!? Peter is a fat, untalented **** and the success he had against Wlad in 2005 is solely due to Wlad's poor state his was in half a decade ago.
