Legacy: fraud who knew how to manipulate simple-minded people from a nation I shall not name. That's it. Will walk into the Cyprus sunset with a fat bank account and a cynic's satisfaction for having swindled tens of millions of people. Class act.
I think hayes ducked erdei, erdei went up to cruisier, an well you know, hayes went up to heavy, called the brothers out, fought barrett an audrey instead, an robbed valuve on the scorecards. an now is retiring.:huh
You're forgetting that Haye is one of the best Cruisers of all time (I know it's a young division) Haye has a great Cruiserweight legacy but little to no HW legacy. I do think he would beat Wladimir should they fight again.
You forgot the main phrase that sums up Haye and his fans. " In a mythical match up Haye beats every current heavyweight boxer. "
Haye has quickly gone from one of the most overrated to one of the most underrated fighters. Has been voted the best Cruiser of the last decade for a reason. He was an ATG at that weight with probably the best combiantion of power and speed ever at cruiser. His HW resumee is spotty, but let's face it unless you beat a Klitschko, it is hard to be rated all-time at the moment. Still he has turned him into a legitmate HW with serious power and speed. He held a title and went 12 rounds with Wlad and in my eyes still beats everybody in the division not named Klitschko, while giving an aged Vitali a tougher fight than most people expect. That being said he could not beat Wlad unless he landes a lucky "Hayemaker". Haye in the Ruiz fight was bigger than Holy, Holmes and Tyson. No, he is not as good as these guys, but he would be a dangerous foe with his speed and power in any era.
The man should be known for being the fastest distancerunner with a broken pinkytoe in the world! Move over Oscar "Blade Runner" Pistorius, there's a new hero in town!
