    I'd say he's pretty spot on with his assessment of Haye. . .


    I mean, he might be top 20-15 ATG cruiser. . . For such a new division, that really isn't saying much.

    Sorry, when your best win at cruiserweight is against Enzo Mac N' Cheese, well. . yeah. . .

    Wait, where's the post where somebody called Haye already an ATG? :blood That actually happened?

    edit: n/m...have just seen Jack's explanation on this very page. OK. Carry on.

    Top 10/ATG CW you can actually make a pretty comfortable case for, actually.

    Cruiserweight is an incredibly shallow division but I'd say Haye belongs in the top 10. His win over Mormeck was very impressive.

    I should point out that I dont rate Haye highly, by the way. It's more to do with cruiserweight being weak than him being special. If a new division was crested tomorrow, the top 10 at that time would be 'ATG' fighters in that division, although it'd obviously be a meaningless title.

    Saying Haye - or anyone bar Holyfield - is an ATG at cruiserweight is purely adhering to the standards of what an ATG actually is. Technically, I think Haye is one but as the division develops, he loses placing slowly and eventually, he'll be nowhere near the top 10.

    I can't believe this threwad has been going on for 3 days with 8 pages worth of posts.

    No Haye is not an ATG... no where near. However it would take a very good argument to say he isn't an ATG at CW

    Precisely.

    Haye isn't a great fighter but in a very shallow division, he happens to be one of the best it has ever seen. That should be a fairly simplistic comment and yet, strangely, some people can't understand it.
