    The big fight HW fight captures mor media coverage than their smaller peers

    Tonight most of us expect little expect a blow out and then Haye to call out a number of names.

    Before Haye it was Audley Harrison. I thought after the Julius Long fight he looked a contender. He also looked good against the Dutch Sonny Liston

    Herbie Hide v Conroy Nelson. Hide looked like a young Mike Tyson that night. When he fought Percell Davis. Davis was seen in the bar having a beer earlier than night. He was morbidly obese

    Many Frank Bruno nights. Johnny Emmens is a name that comes to mind. A skinny Dutch bloke who spoke well at the press conference wearing a nice suit and crumbled after the first blow.

    Danny Williams v Kali Meehan was probably one of the most impressive

    Meehan was considered a contender and Williams destroyed him

    Lennox Lewis v Razor Ruddock was a devastating performance

    If we're talking non-world title and staged here in the UK ..

    Lewis v Ruddock probably the best result/performance

    There's a long list of what could be the worst mismatch with an imported HW opponent.
    Haven't seen this latest one, Haye v De Mori, but it probably ranks among them.
    Bruno had plenty, as did Mason and Hide.
