    or wearing t-shirts with beheaded opponents.

    oh he did give chisora a good right hander outside and inside the ring other than that hes the most overated fighter for the last decade.

    dont believe the hype, and dont go over the top when he beats a former lhw.

    I think at cruiserweight Enzo and Mormeck were good solid wins but at heavyweight it is hard to find a good opponent, maybe Valuev and Chisora could be called decent wins.

    enzo wasnt that good though, he was always a chin ready to be smashed. mormeck was a decent enough win, but mormeck would have lost to many fighters like huck, lebedev, cunningham at the time, fighters haye could of fought but didnt.
    valuev was almost arthritic, and haye managed to land a whole 40punches in the whole 12th round duration, terrible performance.
    delboy was a good win and a good KO, because no one had stopped dereck beforehand.

    At heavyweight. The Valuev win, Valuev had actually a good resume and a 50-1 record when Haye beat him. Yes he was slow, but he used his size well to beat smaller faster men.

    Wladimir fight. Yes Wladimir beat him by a wide margin, but Haye did nick a couple of rounds, which is more than Peter, Povetkin or Pulev could manage against Wladimir at his best. I thought Haye displayed impressive speed, and reflexes in that fight.

    Chisora. First guy to stop Chisora even though Chisora had fought world level guys before like Fury, and Vitali. Still the first guy to stop Chisora in first half of fight, even though Chisora is aged now and still fighting top guys.

    His performance against wladmir wasnt impressive in the slightest, and seeing as peter had wladmir on spaghetti legs for 2rounds and hurt, that was far better than haye running for 12.

    Haye fought Wladimir at his best though, when Peter fought Wladimir at his best Peter could not win a round and was KO'ed cold. The first Peter fight Wladimir was still adapting his defensive skills.

    They are both big power punchers, so they were both being elusive for a reason. You can't win if you are KO'ed making silly mistakes.

    Haye looked like he was in the 15th round rather than the 5th when he finished Chisora. He was clearly fading badly.

    This is why he will only fight guys who he knows he can turn out very early . Hence his last two fights against fake boxers and now this one against a chinny light heavy.

    Imo Fury's systematic and clinical dismantling of Chisora was more impressive than any other winning performance over Chisora.
    I noted in the RBR that Fury had stopped sweating half way through it was so easy. It became like a session on the mitts for him. He broke him down to nothing and never took a shot in the process.
    People should have took Fury seriously after that but they didn't and still predicted Wlad to blow through him in a few rounds.

    Haye would have got it worse than Wlad and Chisora , as Fury was out for him badly. Such a shame he bottled that fight.

    Fury would of busted up haye something rotten. And yes since the joey abell fight, fury hasnt really took any punches at all. His defensive skills, movement and jab have made him the best hw today, and haye would have been a pizza face with no heart or stamina left by the 6th.
