from who would be have picked up a belt? top 10 atg frazier? 71ish top 10 atg foreman? 73ish top 3 atg ali? 74-77ish holmes 78+ obviously you cant pick spinks since he was tied to rematch and then lsoe to ali, nor Norton since he lost his title to holmes in his first mandatory defence. wepner has nothing to do with it since it wouldn't be wepner he'd pick the belt up from.
Haye is only great to the agenda driven Wlad nut huggers. Wlads list of top opposition is so thin they have to prop him up as a serious contender is past greater era's when he even isn't one in this today's weak era. The guy has serious technical flaws that are glaringly obvious to anybody who knows the first thing about boxing. Even at his best down at cruiser he went life and death with european journey men, got dropped by SMWs, got blown out in 5 by 40 year old Thompson and ducked the best cruiser's around at the time: Huck USS Adamek Lebadev And only defended the cruiser title once against Enzo Mac. lmao. If Wlad had beaten Audely, they'd be saying he' be a threat in any era as well.
I'm a huge David haye fan he and I can say that he wasn't a great champion. He was a great entertainer inside and outside the ring but you can't really call him a great champion if he had like 3 title defenses.
