He as unified the cruisers and has an impressive record, is fast and has one hell of a punch. find it strange he is not mentioned in p4p rankings. also, in your list is he higher or lower than wlad. i would put him higher due to the unification of his division? your thoughts
Lower than Wlad, for sure. He's done pretty well but Klitschko has been dominating his division for about 3 years now, and the only reason he's not the lineal champ at HW is because of nationalist bias. Haye has a ton of skill, but he's not gonna cut it at the HW division. Wlad, Peter, and maybe even Toney can get the better of him. Sorry UK
to be honest i dont care if he does make the grade at hw or not, im just happy there is something to talk about in the hw weight division again.
Yeah, he is bringing some spice back to the heavies. I am definitely excited to see him mix it up with the "fat slobs" of the division.
He is about p4p 15-17, but I expect him to improve his ranking. IF he can get a belt at HW being a naturally smaller guy that would boost his p4p ranking.
i think one of the main reasons wlad is top dog is because he is one of the only heavies that is actually in tip top shape every time you see him, in or out of the ring, he really lives the life. the other night i watched maskev-peter for the first time, and i was embarresed for the sport. wbc heavy title should be a massive event with two prime athletes, not an old man and a fattie.
And the fact that he has not yet unified all the titles, *******. Being IBF champion, and unifying with a title which has never been worth **** at HW level, does not make him the lineal champion. To become lineal champion, he would have to beat Lewis, or start his own lineage by becoming WBC - WBA - IBF champion. Plus WBO depending on who you ask.
Haye on the other hand IS lineal champion at CW. And IMO has fought the better P4P opposition of late. Tony Thompson and Sultan Ibragimov are not elite fighter's by any stretch of the imagination. TBH, and being completely unbiased here, Haye should be above Wlad, both are top 15 P4P, but Haye is undisputed champion of his division, and has KO'd his last 2 opponents in impressive style. Both happened to be titleholders. Wlad is not an undisputed champion, and has been unimpressive in his last two outings, against average fighters. You have to give Haye the higher ranking here. Haye is maybe 12 P4P, Wlad is 13 - 15.
