    You make some fair points, but c'mon boxing is heavily based on nationality, race/ethnicity, and the like. Let's not play idealist here. Haye is getting no more grief than most other HWs.

    So far his talk has been bigger than his accomplishments at HW. Understand? There seems to be a huge double standard when it comes to "trash talk". If the K bros (usually Vitali) come anywhere close to "acting up" they're hated even more by the anti K bro twisted panty crowd. If they don't, why they're boring :huh:verysad How lame is that. Both K bros are plenty exciting for me. But then I like them and don't feel threatened if they win or lose. My status in life is the same. DH is exciting too - for some of the same reasons Wlad is. You can't have it both ways.

    Since DH was cutting weight to make CW - as his supporters claim - then he's a natural HW... Albeit not a huge HW, he is 6'3". I think DH can beat some good HWs out there. Against a prime Vitali he losses almost everytime. In his late 20s, DH is in (or entering) his prime. Vitali is 10 years older. That's DHs big ad. I'd make Wlad a clear fav vs DH too. They both have suspect chins, and Haye does not have a speed and power ad over Wlad. The latter has been in many more HW bouts than DH, taking, avoiding, and dishing out HW punches :cool:

    All heavyweights are a knockout waiting to happen. It's the nature of the division.

    I'm not debating that, I'm just saying that everyone is saying this guy is the future of the division. Based on what? Who has he beaten at heavyweight???
