All Haye has to do to climb is to beat one of them. So he has double chances to be more than No. 3,right?
Being realistic... Wlad is the only true Champion in the Heavyweight division. Haye is holding a useless title that he won off a guy that had already lost it in the ring. Wladimir Klitschko is the true WBA Champion as well since he beat the true WBA Champion Chagaev who never lost it in the ring. That's what's going on.
Some people just don't think. Was Hasim Rahman ever the best heavyweight in the world? Probably not. He sure was champion though. We don't pick and choose... or do we? Yes, we do. Go and think about that.
Yes,the GREAT lineage of the WBA belt. The fearsome Valuev,the dangerous Chagaev,the wrecking machine known as Ruiz. GTFO! Haye has done **** at heavyweight,and will probably get beaten badly by Chagaev,unless he decides to fight Larry Donald or Holyfield next,lol
In terms of who is the most legitimate champion? Wlad>Vitali>Haye. That is not a comparison of their fighting abilities. It is simply looking at the respective worth of their titles. Wlad clearly leads. Vitali is second - he holds a legitimate title. Haye is a distant third, holding a paper version of a largely meaningless belt.
That is a fine deal. As long as we don't start having two champs. it is OK. We can declare Wlad ESB champ.
Haye has broken two contracts with Vitali and Vlad and is still running at this very moment. Haye is afraid of them and for good reason. Vitali or Vlad will knock Haye out, but how can anyone get the chicken Haye into a ring? Haye's favorite fighter is the chicken in Rocky.
