    Not massively sure about Haye at Cruiser. Obviously talent and heavy hitting but realistically he was mopped up a rather weak division. Enzo was a good victory but massively overrated at the time. Mormeck his signature win but he wasn't a p4p fighter, he himself had been knocked out by O'Neill Bell a few fights before. Haye was chinny at the weight and was always liable to get knocked down or blow out.

    Hardly went through acid test after acid test at Cruiser. He is a better heavy in my opinion

    Haye proved against Enzo and Mormeck that he's utterly invincible against any CW in the history of the sport. Haye is a colossus at the weight without a ***** in his armour.

    Haha, he had some good wins at cruiser even before he won a world title, fragomeni was a tough *******...

    I'd say Haye by KO...he was more vulnerable at cruiser but I think that gets overstated to an extent.

    Haye is one of the best CW's of all-time, it's just a shame his body made him move-up to HW, if there was a weight division in-between CW and HW that would've been ideal for him.

    Have you only just discovered that video? You've posted it several times now :patsch I'm not suggesting there SHOULD be a weight division in-between CW and HW, only that it would've been ideal for Haye if there was as he became too big for CW and was ultimately too small for HW.
