    Mormeck - Wlad is the bigger mismatch, but you can't blame him as the should-be contenders refuse to step up to the plate. Haye ducked potentially dangerous opponents for the fight with Harrison. It was even worse than Povetkins defense against Boswell.

    Are you kidding me, of couse it was Haye-Fraudley. Fraudley didn´t throw a single punch and fell down when he was hit the first time. Also it was a fixed fight.

    Don´t get me wrong Wlad-Mormeck was a huge mismatch and at best a lame stay busy fight but at least it was not fixed...

    I'd go for Wlad vs Mormeck.

    Atleast Haye vs Harrison was a popular fight amongst the british public, it was a fight a lot of casuals wanted to see (for some reason). Not saying Harrison is better than Mormeck but it made more sense at the time. And the Mormeck that fought last night would probably struggle with Audley sadly.

    Mormeck the french fruit was terrible but that's the french in a nutshell. weak and avoiding confrontation. typical french antics quit before you get hurt. French motto SURRENDER ALWAYS

    Mormeck had no business in the ring with Wladimir. Everyone knew that going in and it was obvious as soon as the bell rang.

    - Harrison had at the very least a punchers chance and was a true heavyweight as opposed to a blown up cruiserweight.

    - Harrison was the bigger man between the ropes, weighing in at i believe 253lbs. On the other hand Wlad was the much bigger man against Mormeck.

    -Yet Wladimir was still unsure whether it was safe to engage with Mormeck despite his considerable advantages in every single department, the clinching was staggering, it took him 4 rounds to finish a guy that was ready to go as early as the 1st round.

    Conclusion, about even when al things considered.:good

    Brittards never cease to amaze me.
    Haye had a huge list of better opponents willing to fight him whereas Wlad didn't have a single one.

    Are you daft? Like at least Germany, Ukraine and France weren't interested in the Wlad vs Mormeck fight. There's world outside Bradford, you know:lol:

    Correct. Nobody was willing to face Wlad. He had no choice. But, both fights were joke

    Maybe if Wlad fought outside Germany others would be more willing.

    What was Hayes huge list? Chagaev,Povetkin and the other Eastern Euro bums that cannot sell fights?

    Haye v Audley made more money than both K2s fights the last two weeks.
    Boxing is a business after all.

    At least Audley is a legit heavyweight with height and reach advantage over Haye. Mormeck is a former light heavyweight, former cruiserweight, 39 year old who got sparked by Haye years ago and is 5ft 11 (questionable)

    Seriously now!! Both were bad, but it has to be the Wlad Mormeck fight.

    ******ed people.

    Haye fought someone much taller, 2 stone heavier with a knockout punch, Wlad fought a blown up cruiserweight, with a ridiculous height disadvantage, 2 stone lighter than him and 4 years on from when Haye beat him.

    Tough one.
