    I think this is second time ever I have agreed with stuey.

    Chageav is vastly over-rated. He is nothing special and Haye would beat him easy. He has problems with his eyes and should not be fighting at all. Only because of the corrupt shenanigans of German boxing allows him to get fights.

    So if he beats both Klitschko's, sandwiching a win with Povetkin aswell, and then retires, does he make an ATG top 50 on a P4P scale? Given that most would have Holyfield in there, perhaps around 30-40, and it would the same level of achievement.

    I don't rank him in the heavyweight top 10 at the moment due to lack of activity. He's a promising prospect, no more no less.

    I find it ridiculous that anybody would not have him in their top 10.

    Regardless of his lack of fights at heavyweight, his ability has already be proven at a lower weight.

    He's fought twice at heavyweight and demolished both opponents, if your trying to tell me there's 10 people in the heavyweight division who are better than Haye your having a laugh.

    When Barrera, Marquez, Pacquiao, Morales etc jumped up weights, their rankings were correctly in the top 5 of the higher weight division. Even though they'd never fought at the weight it was clear from their previous fights that they belonged in the top 5 of a division they had never fought in.

    Well, I bought the hype, so I have him in the Top 5 based on his achivements at CW and his victory over the legendary ATG Monte Barrett.
