    Well, we all have our opinions on Haye-Harrison but what others have there been where those mythical match-ups have been made that have bordered on pure farce?

    I think the Haye-Harrison might well go the same way as alot of the disappointing Tyson fights, with the opponent already mentally beaten before they get in the ring.

    Austin, Brewster, Gomez...even Williams are all ATG's compared to Harrison. That's pathetic, try again.

    Valuev-Beck
    Chagaev-Drumond
    Patterson-Rademacher (although I understand the gimmick)
    Tyson-Biggs
    Morrison-Bentt (even though Bentt won)

    Beck is worse than Harrison though, at least.

    Sosnowski lost to ZURI LAWRENCE, yes that Zuri Lawrence, before this fight.

    COME ON!!! The worst excuse for something calling itself a world heavyweight title fight was Herbie Hide V Damon Reed!

    Irrelevant.

    Austin, Brewster II, Gomez, and Williams were ALL bottom of the barrel HW title fights....

    Brewster was coming off of 1 year layoff and *eye* surgery for the Klitschko rematch.

    Gomez is, was, and always will be a ****ing JOKE who has beaten NO ONE of note in the HW division.

    Yeah, Brewster II was just corpse of a fighter that wasn't really that good to begin with.
