    True he did but if you look at the build of David Haye compared to most cruiserweights he was similar to Mike Tyson,

    Adamek was always a small fighter even at cruiser but still had enough power to take out the best there yet at cruiser couldnt even take out Mcbride

    Obviously. I just like the way he criticised calzaghe for having no power when his hero is even more feather fisted than Joe

    Build wise, as in the shape of his body compared to most heavyweights.

    Not saying he had the chin, technique or speed but he had the right build to hit pretty hard at heavyweight, whats wrong with that?

    Malibua is a nasty racist fin, his support for Ward is a mere smokescreen.

    Comparing their physique is a joke mate, sorry to say.

    Mike is more a linebacker whereas David Haye is more of a receiver.

    No, You fukin swedish ******. I have the biggest respect for Ward because he is everything what boxers should be. He is everything what guys like Joe was not able to be. I am not sure if Swedish ***, blond haired cotton boy like you even understand it since you dont even have pro boxing in your cotton country.

    edit. it is about giving credit and respect when it is due. I personally still dont his boxing style but that should not affect and it wont how I judge his greatness. as a person I like him at least 50%. :yep

    Anyways, So what even I was racist. The fuk cares.. god you are such A ***. you are also phony ass boxing fan who jumps from bandwagon to another when it suits yor agenda. you are not a real boxing fan like most of feminine men in your country:-(

    He is a complete coward and avoided all of the best fighters his entire career. He only moved to 175 to fight two men in their 40s. The fact that Hopkins who was at 160 moved to 175 before him tells you everything you need to know.

    So why did Hopkins turn down a fight with Calzaghe at 168 in 2001?

    Why did Hopkins skip 168 and go straight to 175 instead of fighting Calzaghe?

    as has been stated his hands just got worse, in the end he had to give it up whether he liked it or not.
