When Haye beats Chisora is it fair to say that Haye then becomes a top 25 ATG HW?

    I think he does but only just. At the minute I have Riddick Bowe in that place. Let's look at the facts.

    Bowe's cv.
    Best wins come against Holyfield during their trilogy. Holyfield was always a small HW though and the CW division was made for fighters like him. Bowe lost one of these fights to a CW.

    Golota. Two wins over this man on paper only. The Pole was smashing Bowe to pieces prior to getting DQ twice! Haye's showing against the superior eastern European Klitschko was better in retrospect.

    Unbeaten Herbie Hide. Great win.

    Donald. Decent win.

    Dokes. decent win.

    Now that is the sum total of Bowe's legacy. Without a doubt once Haye beats Chisora he overtakes Bowe in the rankings. Don't believe me? let's look at Haye's current cv.

    Valuev. World champ and biggest and strongest champ ever to enter the ring in all the weight classes combined.

    Mormeck. World champ.

    Ruiz. Former World champ.

    Harriosn. European champ and gold medal winning Olympic hero.

    Enzo. World champ.

    Bowe's first victory over Holyfield singularly eclipses every performance Haye has had at heavyweight.

    Yes when a boxer defeats Chisora they are automatically regarded as in the 25 ALL TIME GREATS in the heavyweight division:nut

    If Chisora wins, does he make your top 10?

    Sam Sexton moves up to 34th on my all time great list if Chisora wins.

    No, absolutely no!

    David Haye is a decidedly average heavyweight, who is not necessarily the No 1 heavyweight in Britain now (a time when the divison is made up of either over the hill guys or prospects).

    The only way David Haye could get even close to being in any ATG list would be for him to clean up the division now at world level, that means both Klitschko's, Seth Mitchell etc. - And that will never happen!

    I don't mean to be rude to the poster of the thread, I think we are all entitled to our own views, but seriously, enough of Haye being THAT good already!
