    You are entitled to your opinion,but remember their amateur days. Peter didnt dare to cross Povetkin's shadow then. Peter lost to fighters whose hearts went into their boots as soon as they had to fight Povetkin.Vidoz kicked Peter's ass at the amateurs.
    Nah! Peter is far too one-dimensional and slow to be competitive with someone like Povetkin.

    KO power at cruiser is KO power at heavy. :good

    A full on, knockout punch that dropped so many of Haye's cruiser opponents, will also drop most heavies. There is not that much difference in punch tolerance in the cruisers and the heavies.

    Its not like they are five weight divisions apart. :blood

    Barrett was useless when he was caught by the crippling power of Haye. I gotta admit that, and I am not really a Haye fan.

    But you gotta be realistic about it. His power is not going to diminish in effectiveness cause he's went from one divsion to the very next division. He's also packed on more muscle. Let us not forget that.

    David Haye is a devastating puncher, period.

    Toney of today, but in shape?... No way he beats the klitschkos. Maybe some other HW but not the klitschkos

    I was referring to the list of fighter in this poll.
    Klitchkos would probably be too tough for James. Tought I would still support him 100% if he fought one of them.
    Toney has beaten the odds before.
