    What do you think?

    I would put him more around 5 or 6.

    He is the 3rd best heavyweight in the world. Let's be real he would destroy Povetkin and Adamek.

    Depends on what criteria your having, Personally i have no issue with it. Maybe if your looking at his resume at heavyweight it may or will be different. I'm going purely off him IMO being the 3rd best fighter in division.

    There is no justification to have him above 5 at the moment. Unless you have some sort of bizarre emotional attachment to the man I really don't know why anybody would even argue against this.

    I think he'd beat Vitali, who is gonna retire instead of taking him on

    Haye's the 2nd best HW around at the mo

    At least he has the balls to finally face Wladimir, unlike Povetkin!

    How can you talk about people having emotional attachments or being biased with they're views? You HATE David Haye and that clouds your judgment.

    I can't see Haye beating Kubrat Pulev.

    I'd put Pulev at 3 and Haye at 4.

    Povetkin lost to Marco Huck, so.........

    i think we will see Haye fight Povetkin and then look to unify with the eventual WBC champion.

    I think it's possible he's very fast for a heavyweight has good skills i think he could beat Vitali with his speed

    He may well be but I'd like to actually like to see him in with a top ten fighter who isn't at the end of their career. Outside of Wlad he has hand picked his fights at heavy.

    If he is every going to beat Vitali it is now. But forget Adamek he should be looking at fighting a live opponent instead of expecting to walk into a title shot.

    For me though Haye is def in the top 5.
