    Haye gets too much press. Seems like after every heavyweight fight his people release a statement. Its all bull****, just like Miranda...just like Jeff Lacy...just want to watch him get knocked the **** out.

    yeah, the Thompson loss was in 04.

    Wasn't Mormeck the undisputed champion when Haye beat him? Mormeck got a belt when he beat Hill, then when he beat Braithway, and then Bell unified his belt with Mormeck's two belts, thus becoming an undisputed champion. Mormeck then beat Bell in the rematch, and then Haye beat Mormeck.

    Calzaghe did not have a linear champion in his division to beat to gain recognition, so he had to unify the belts and defeat the #2 guy at the weight to become undisputed champion, and that happened when he beat Kessler.

    Haye wasn't undisputed champion because he didn't hold all three belts. The IBF was missing from his collection.
