Call them... I would say... Nikolai Valuev Johnny Ruiz Derrick Chisora Monte Barret Jean Marc Mormeck Enzo Maccarinelli Giocobbi Fragomeni Audley Harrison Arthur Williams Alexander Gurov OTHER SUGGESTED NOTABLES Vincenzo Rossito Glen Kelly Lolenga Mock
a Fighter's Top 10 is always a good way to compare fighters... I liked Haye, believed in him, he was just a bit too small for the Giants, but a better boxer than most of them. without knowing all of his opponents there is at least 4 (5), Real Opponents there, Ruiz was a real spoiler though, but he could compete, and Enzo isn't one of them.
1. Jean Marc Mormeck 2. Nikolai Valuev 3. Enzo Maccarinelli 4. Dereck Chisora 5. John Ruiz 6. Giacobbe Fragomeni 7. Monte Barrett 8. Audley Harrison 9. Arthur Williams 10. Alexander Gurov I rate Chisora higher than Ruiz because Ruiz was at the end of his career plus Haye's early KO of Chisora has aged really well. I rate Enzo in the top 3 as it was a unification fight and a big fight in UK it was an impressive win for Haye. I rate Fragomeni over Barrett he was undefeated with a good amateur background he'd also beat Haye as an amateur so he was a legit threat. Barrett was considerably past his prime and would only win 1 more fight after the Haye fight. The last two I'm struggling with honestly Lolenga Mock was a Super Middleweight who almost knocked out Haye. And Arthur Williams was 40 years old and a stepping stone at that time.
