    Glen was decent!This is a joke post though it has to be.Glen would have been lucky to do 3 rounds.
    Holyfield was a far better fighter at cruiser and heavy.Im not having a go at Haye he just was.

    I hate to say it, but Adamek even arguably has a better resume at 200 than does Haye.

    Holyfield, easy. It humored me when Haye said he cleaned out the division.

    Yeah, he conveniently left one very important piece out - Steve Cunningham. I don't blame him for not fighting Steve or not sticking around a few more months for Adamek.Sometimes, you can't fight everyone and got to move on. But to say you've cleaned the division out is just a joke, and his fans bought it hook, line and sinker.

    Holyfield and it's not close. Qawi and De Leon are much better than Mormeck and Macca.

    Head to head I think Holyfield wins. However when looking over their resumes the only really noticeable difference is the appearance of Qawi. No offense to Qawi, he was a tough customer and all, but I am not sure he is that much better than a Fragomeni, who due to stamina and continued success I rate higher than Mormeck. Holyfield, due to his better technical ability, chin, stamina, and very good power would probably beat Haye.

    In all honesty, the resumes of guys like Holyfield, Haye and Adamek at cruiser are about equal when you look at wins over quality guys.

    I hope the twelve people who voted for Haye are joking.

    I'm kind of interested to see why you think it's close between Fragomeni and Qawi. Not belittling, just interested to see, because I honestly didn't get to see much of Qawi but he was impressive the little I saw.

    Haye had a terrific career at CW but Holyfield was a near-perfect CW by the time he exited for bigger things. I think he could have had a reign there similar to Joe Louis' reign at HW.
