    Seriously though. Dave's an ALPHA!

    Hate is underrated based on what?

    His best win was Valuev, a guy a 50 year old Holyfield schooled years prior.

    he smashed Ruiz who Holyfield struggled with and whacked Chisora who was giving guys trouble. Haye is talented and 2.5 inches taller than Sonny and heavier .....Sonny had a 10 inch reach on him though Ha Ha

    'Smashing' Ruiz is not really that impressive, considering Ruiz was well past his sell by date and i think he retired after that fight anyway. And was never that good to begin with.

    Oh and his record with Holyfield was 1-1-1 i believe. Holyfield fought Ruiz 10 years before Haye did.

    Haye is talented, dont get me wrong, but hes in with a fighter who's better schooled than him. And that 10 inch advantage reach will definitely come in handy.

    Haye did have tangible athletic talent, but the gaps in his game were just as pronounced.

    Even on that basis, his resume is a litany of unfulfiled potential.

    He did not beat one heavyweight with a top ten ranking, with the exception of the #5 rated Valuev, and that win was hardly impressive in nature.

    All in all I am not seeing much, that screams live underdog here.

    Liston would jab fraud Hayes face clean off. Actually it never would have happened as Haye would have found every reason to avoid this one,as every single one of you out there already know.

    mmmmm I have a feeling Haye will be flopping all over the place like in the Wlad fight, before he gets KOed. Liston KO 3

    I can only recall Haye fighting one heavyweight that knew how to throw a jab - Wlad, and he didn't win a round.

    Sonny blitzes him behind a sledgehammer jab.

    Even Haye's mother couldn't call that fight competitive. What rounds did Haye win? Throw in the fact Wlad is careful - nay gunshy, and Sonny isn't and you have a different scenario

    Real world medernity in boxing athletics? No idea what that means - do they still punch each other in the face?
