There still IBF champ Steve Cunningham out there. That fight could have been made and Haye would have been true undisputed champion. Cunningham would now say that Haye is avoiding him.
Nobody will give a **** what Cunningham says Haye is avoiding USS by trying to get fights with the likes of Peter and Wlad atsch
Oneil Bell had the WBA, WBA, and IBF belts Then Mormeck beat him in the rematch Then Haye beat Mormeck and then Haye beat the WBO champ Noone thinks Calzaghe needs to beat Bute in order to be the champ at SMW the same way noone thinks Haye needs to beat Cunningham
It is when haye is going to heavyweight and is already recognised by everyone including cunnigham and his mum as the best cruisweight fighter.
Yes he isn't quite the undisputed champ but he's having trouble making the weight and was only tempted to stay for one more fight because the Enzo fight was so big. Haye moving up is good news for the rest of the division.
Haye dont need Cunningham....the money has always been at heavy and Haye can starch a couple of them....
Cunningham brings nothing to the table, Haye's power is too much for any current CW. The guy is still young and has a bright future ahead of him at HW, and why delay your own potential greatness.
Cunningham is a better fighter than Enzo and a real challenge for Haye. As far as I'm concerned, Haye has put himself in the top 5 all-time Cruiserweight list, but he needs to beat Cunningham to unify. Steve is the real deal and no easy early ko for Haye. That said, it looks like it will never happen. Too bad, because nobody really has any idea how Haye will be at heavy. He has to prove he can take a heavyweight punch first.
Belts mean nothing. He became champion by beating Mormeck. It wouldve been nice if he beat Cunningham, but there is ALWAYS someone left in a division.
