Explain to me why Denis Boytsov is even mentioned as an opponent for Haye?

He doesn't have a lot of meat on his resume, but his manner of disposal has been good enough for people to see potential.

 

Boystov beats the current Chagaev, and I think it could go either way with Povetkin.

 

he's a lot better than arreolla, chagaev, chambers, and co.

 

True, but on the other hand...if you look at someone like Kali Meehan, his resume is better (not so much in the win column really outside TOS, but he has far more experience against world class opposition) but I'd give Meehan much less of a chance than Boytsov against Haye...

 

chambers could give him some trouble! I still rate chambers very high!
Against fighters his size he can do alot of things

 

Because he is in WBA top 5 and holds WBA intercontinental title which makes him a top candidate by WBA rules.

"Generally, the highest rated boxer in the division, or regional champion rated in the top 5, shall qualify to be named the official contender by the Championships Committee, unless he is, or is likely to be, unavailable to fight for the title in the
period required."

 

God! thats a stupid post!

 

I think all four would beat Boystov in my opinion...

 

bystov isn't a bad fighter. chambers would give him a few troubles with outboxing him but id pick boystov to ko him late on.

arreola?? are u joking?

chagaev is just a competent boxer like kotelnik but no more.

 

Either you didn't watch the fight, or you are British...or possibly both.

:rofl

 

When he beat Bidenko, he was a serious challenge. Ring Top10 and such.
