    what's haye's legacy? Is he a disgrace? Is he remembered for having a much bigger bark than he did bite?

    His legacy will be what it is now.

    A solid cruiserweight champion who later became a heavyweight pretender.

    Now, as for Chisora...maybe his doubters will finally be forced to reckon with maybe taking him 'seriously'.

    To date, people still say his shot at Vitali was one of the most undeserved of any recent HW title challenger due to having had a mere 15-2 record having "lost" two of his last three. :-( People want to ignore the robbery against Helenius and downplay his performance against Klitschko...and of course the clear loss to Fury (who's looked spotty since and had scary moments against journeymen) doesn't help.

    In order to become a soild champ you must defend your title against solid opposition.

    Haye neither defended at CW nor did he face solid competition.(O'Neil popped Mormeck's cherry before Haye did)

    Haye will be a laughing stock like he currently is and will soon be forgotten.

    I agree IB, although I do believe that if Haye had allowed his fists and fists alone to do the talking, his heavyweight tenure would be regarded with much more respect, being a cruiserweight who came up and had some decent HW wins.

    agreed. I also think people want to ignore the fact that chisora was clearly, horribly out of shape against fury.

    Someone that does not have 1 foot out the door ala Ruiz and Valuev.

    Currently...a Chisora or a Arreola,Helenius,Solis,Chambers...the list goes on.

    Yes, a few defenses before the move up, would have helped immensely

    That is completely Chisora's fault. I do however keep that in mind when looking back at it. But he's the one who choose to train like that, so can't give him a pass.
