    "What I remember about our fight was that it was so easy," smiled Thompson.

    "I couldn't believe I could break him down so quickly. He obviously hadn't seen any of my career, because I don't go over that easy. I remember smiling at him at one stage and I knew I had broken him."

    Thompson reckons that Haye did not fully learn the lesson from that defeat.

    "Some people jump these days are jumping the queue without first establishing themselves as heavyweights, and that is wrong," he added.

    "He is not battle-hardened, and because there is no one in that cruiserweight division, he has moved up. I could still whup those cruiserweights, because it is a dead division.




    Damn, imagine how it will be for Wlad..:rofl

    Considering Wlad lost to Purrity - a lower level fighter than Thompson, relatively speaking - in about his 30th fight, this is a poor attempt at an inflamatory thread.

    Klitschko will win, but Haye has strived to move through the ranks more quickly than the vast majority of today's protected fighters.

    Yeah right, Thompson, fair due, I mean he beat him fair and squer. But would it happen now? I don't think so. It wouldn't go past one round.

    He's got to be kidding me. If my memory serves me correctly Haye was bashing Thompson from pillar to past until he punched himself out.

    It didn't look so easy when Haye was bashing him up.

    Haye was a pro baby when he fought Thompson and Haye fought the wrong gameplan.

    The best of Haye would KTFO a prime Thompson.

    That's like Lamon Brewster saying it was 'easy' beating Wlad Klitschko in their first match. Thompson and Brewster were taking such beatings at some points in those fights that few would've complained in the ref stepped in and stopped it.
    Thompson was lucky that Haye was young and inexperienced and punched himself out early or he would've likely taken a vicious beating before being dispatched late.

    Yes, it looked like a typical one-sided David Haye fight until Haye was dropped.

    That would have been Haye's 11th fight.....

    Up until that point, Haye had been walking through whatever had been infront of him.

    As for Thompson saying it was easy - it sure didn't look that way when Haye was ragging him around the ring. Haye is a different fighter now who takes his time, uses his reflexes and picks his shots.

    An easy win would probably be Sanders brushing Waldo aside in under two rounds.

    Thompson is right. He was only just getting going when the fight was stopped.
