    Hes doing a bum of the month club...

    Joe Louis did it
    More recently Shannon Briggs did it

    KO a load of cans keep mouthing off and get a pay day. It shouldnt happen but it does. I have been disgusted by how poor his opposition has been but i reckon a couple more like that and someone will offer him a pay day.

    Used to be a big Haye fan at Crusierweight thought he came across well and had massive power..Now he just wants the money (fine) but at least dont try and hoodwink the paying public with a seris of mis matches..If After Briggs hes fights someone half decent like I dunno name from a hat Takam etc i will be a bit less critcal he has been out for an age after all

    I guess it's just another piece of evidence in the evergrowing list of reasons why the ranking system is a load of ****e.

    -Earned his shot with solid wins over Thompson, Ustinov, Dimentrenko.

    -Rocked Wlad pretty good a couple of times, including with a jab on the opening punch.

    - Back in it with a win over Chisora.

    He's a good fighter. I don't think he is "overhyped." People think of him as what he is: a solid contender who could go over top given the right opponent.

    He is big, fairly durable, and had a stiff, surprisingly powerful jab.

    On the negative, he lacks both head and foot movement, and a money punch.

    He will give Haye a hell of a fight.

    Never rated Dimtrenko or Ustinov as anything better than euro level and the very faded version of Thompson he beat could hardly be considered much better.

    This version of Chisora? Even a washed up Del Boy gave him trouble in spots.

    For me he's a good european champion. I don't consider him any more than that and that's not a knock on him.

    He get knocked out by any of my top six which tells you that he's not world class.

    Don't see what the issue is with Haye's ranking, the belts are meaningless. They're not World championships that stand for anything they're just big leather belts with some gold coloured metal on them, they're worthless.

    I think the problem with the HW division is the level of talent. You're either top 10 or you may as well be ranked >top 100.
    Haye done well to get himself into this position without breaking a sweat. He'll now force a mandatory position for a summer showdown with Joshua.
    Joshua v Parker late this year.
    Haye v Pulev earlier next year

    It's absolute nonsense. But look who's at No.4 - Fres Oquendo who got his shot against Chagaev by beating the 100th best heavyweight in America (currently) in the not so good shape of Galen Brown.

    All of these sanctioning bodies are just a joke - and so is Haye the Heavyweight.
