    After Solis took out Two Guns Barrett in 2 rounds, David Haye's heavyweight record naturally loses a few points. He's got a fight coming up with Valuev so this all might become insignificant in a few weeks, but until then we don't really have a clear indication of how significant his punching power is in the division.

    Also, Solis-Haye sounds like a good contender fight for a shot at one of the Klitschko's.

    By that logic Vlads stock has fallen as he took 7 rounds! I am not taking anything away from Solis, great result on paper but fighters can get old overnight and almost a year since Haye v Barrett so comparison does not mean much. Besides Haye said before he would stop him in 5 so just doing as he said!

    Unless i'm wrong Haye dropped Barrett 5 times so for an objective non Haye hater this should be evidence of carrying power up.

    First of all, I'm a Haye fan.

    Depends how you look at it. If it took 5 KO's to end the match, the first 4 obviously weren't enough.

    Wlad isn't a KO artist. He breaks the opponent down slowly. Furthermore, Wlad has several fights at the division to judge him by. With Haye there simply aren't enough rounds to get a clear idea of his position in the HW division.

    In any case, like I said many of these questions might be answered in a few weeks.

    Exactly what I was going to say, Barrets a shell of the fighter he was pre-Haye.

    Barret now is the Post Calzaghe Lacy .

    Didn't exactly look prime going into the Haye bout. Wasn't a spring chicken either.

    barrett is a journeyman now if he is not motivated you will not much of a fight and if he is motivated you may get a bit of a fight for a couple of rounds

    Barrett was a rated contender when Wlad TKOd him 8 years ago. Barrett was a journeyman when Haye and Solis beat him. :deal
