deal:deal Haye's recent HW accomplishments might not warrant it but find me one person that isn't polish that could say Adamek beats Haye with a straight face and I'll be shocked. I get recent compeitition and resume is most important but we really should count the performances vs recent competition as well as h2h ability for a little something and given that Adamek got schooled by one arm Chambers and gota gift decision while Haye just KO'd an iron chinned dude that pushed Vitali more than anyone since Sanders that should count for something.... Vitali didn't even hurt the guy and Haye ****ed him up. Haye is the clear #3 heavy, all it takes is eyes and watching him fight to see he's a few levels above anyone that isn't Klitschko
what **** ranking..... he keeps Thompson in his top 10 and bumps out Chambers when Chambers just schooled the guy he's got at #4 and Thompson got KO'd after a **** performance and beating no one of worth up until that point....**** rankings!
In fairness Haye has only lost in recent years to the best heavyweight of the generation. Does Povetkin deserve to be third after ducking Wlad so obviously? I think Haye's loss to Wlad is better than Povetkin's duck. Povetkin has some great wins but went life and death with Huck in his last fight. It's tough to call Adamek has been active and only lost to great fighters, but his decision win against Chambers was quesitonable enough to give Haye the edge over him in my eyes. Arreola Haye surely can't be ranked lower than 4th at worst
LOL He got all riled up on the Epix broadcast when Bruce Beck brought up if Haye should be moved into the top 5. Yet he has him at 6 and probably had to put Arreola in front of him just to not contradict himself.
1. Wlad 2. Vitali 3. Haye 4. Povetkin 5. Chambers (ridiculed Adamek) 6. Pulev 7. Adamek 8. Fury 9. Chisora (a win over Helenius is good enough to warrant a top 10 spot in this poor division so STFU) 10. Helenius The only valid list. Arreola is straight up trash and never won against anyone of note, Solis out of shape, Chagaev way past it, Price too unproven yet, Thompson too old, Mormeck lol, Mitchell unproven as well and Boytsov is wasting his physical prime fighting bums.
The only problem is Haye wants them to hand him a Vitali shot. Why not make them fight him? If you really are the best why no fight the contenders? Why not fight a highly rated WBC guy?
Wlad Vitali Povetkin Chambers Adamek Pulev Haye Arreola Helenius Chisora Can't get much more solid than that.
