    Im just amazed at how high some of these people rank Haye. Thats always the way it is with punchers. The problem is punchers come and go. People always forget that if you can knock a guy out with one punch, you can knock a guy out with one punch. End of story. Because Haye can do this doesnt mean hes the first guy who ever threw a hard punch. Anyone who thinks Greb never faced a puncher in 13 years against the arguably best competition any fighter ever faced across four divisions, is absolutely bonkers. When Haye crashes and burns, which he will, he will be forgotten. Hes the British version of Jeremy Williams, the difference is Williams was a big fish in a HUGE pond and Haye is a big fish in a very tiny pond...

    No the difference is Haye is the Cruserweight King and only Holyfield and Toney have been as impressive at that weight. I know your small mind is having a problem grasping that fact.

    Haye also has an excellent jab, excellent speed, is very accurate.

    The speed/power combination is something we havent seen in a long time.
