I think he's just become one. Right now after last nights stunning performance he pushes Riddick Bowe out of that place. I have as the 25th ATG HW. 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 now that Haye has beat Chisora he overtakes Bowe in the rankings. Don't believe me? let's look at Haye's current cv. Chisora. Just coming off of giving Klitschko as tough a fight as Lenny Lewis did. 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. Last night was an ATG performance from Haye. When David is in that kind of form he can't be beat. What people need to start realizing is that David matches up spectacularly against the vast majority of the ATG's.

People have to understand that when you're seeing Foreman easily destroy Frazier that Haye matches up against Joe even better than Foreman. David has all of Foreman's attributes plus much much more. Haye is stronger and more powerful than Foreman who for his time was seen as a giant. Haye has everything he has plus World class head movement, World class agility, World class ring IQ, (see the Valuev fight and Forman vs Ali) World class movement, World class defence etc... If Haye was to face up against the ATG top 20 heavyweights then Hayemaker beats the majority of them. Jack Johnson for instance would get seriously ****ed up against Hayemaker. Have a look below. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74dnCeXI8MM[/ame] Haye would ruin this man with such ease that it wouldn't even be funny. Haye now is a clear top 25 ATG hw. Look how Vitali Klitschko struggled with Chisora and only beat him by the skin of his teeth. In contrast look at what Hayemaker did to him, stunning.
Brittardland- where beating a clubfighter who's 1-3 in his last 4 fights makes you a top 25 ATG HW let me add that the clubfighter's best win is a washed up Danny Williams
On first thought, somewhere around 45-65. Has very good speed and power but too many question marks still remain in my opinion for him to be much higher (stamina, being the aggressor, etc.)
**** all that. Never mind ATG top 25.I'd have him just behind Floyd in the current P4P list. And he crashes into my personal ATG list just behind Leonard,Barrera and beside Malignaggi.
