    Luis Santana kills all in this category. But even in the last few years, I'd say Kazuto Ioka is worse on resume and shot Fernando Montiel who landed a lucky punch is worse on talent.

    David Haye needed Cunningham to help his legacy.

    He chose to fight a paper champ in Enzo instead.

    Why?

    Judah @ 147 comes to mind. Not sure what's meant by "unified" though. Technically, anyone holding two major belts at the same time holds what distinction.

    Haye wasn't even a real champion. His WBA title was paper championship.... Seriously, **** the WBA. Chagaev beat Valuev for his WBA title, and Wlad beat Chagaev.. for some reason the WBA makes it a "non title fight" and Wlad doesn't win the title, then they vacate it and give it back to Valuev.... then Haye beats him and becomes "champion". As far as i'm concerned Wlad became WBA champ when he beat Chagaev. So if you ask me, Haye was never a real champion. Haye was as much of a champion as Povetkin is today.

    The Enzo fight was pretty big in the UK to be fair, while no one knew who Cunningham was. Not that I like to defend the twat.

    Would you agree that he would have been better off going after USS to become undisputed instead of taking on a shitty chinny WBO paper titlist instead?

    I think it would have made more sense, but as Jolly posted, Haye vs. Enzo was a big UK fight.

    I misread the thread title, my bad. Haye was a shitty unified champ at CW, and he was an even worse champ at HW.

    At Cruiserweight, it was a real shame he never fought Cunningham or Adamek. A few other names would have been great as well, in addition to defending his titles more.

    Regarding HW, I do not count his WBA title at all.

    Overall a decent fighter with likely more potential than he has shown. I won't say "had the potential to do X, Y, Z, etc...", since those kinds of observations and arguments are always shaky. He definitely has slickness, power, speed, and decent skills going for him, though. Just wish he shown it more-- and in a more meaningful manner.
