I have him hovering around the top 10 now, anyway. I have him firmly in the top 15 p4p. If he beat Wlad I'd definately have him in the top 10.
I have him 9, hes knocking out world champs. one in his own backyard and another in a highly pressurised domestic matchup. What hes done in 23 fights is pretty unbelievable
I have him just outside (15-17 about...havent done a list recently)...so I would say yes. CW champ moving up and beating the recognized HW champ....I dont see how he stays out of the top ten honestly. Only problem is...I dont see it happening.
Definately, having unified two divisions beating the best fighters in each, even if they are relatively weak divisions he's still making waves and attempting to improve upon his achievements, unlike some (*cough* Mayweather *cough* )
If he fought and dominated the Klitschko we've been seeing lately, I would highly consider a #2 ranking for the Hayemaker. Klitschko is one of the most dominant champs of any division right now, and for the unified CW champion to move up and dominate him is quite an achievement. Compare it to PBF picking on midget Hatton and old man DLH 2x each and Pacquiao's inability to dominate JMM and it's not hard to see Haye moving up into the top few spots.
If Haye could do that I would say that he deserves to be in the tp 10 p4p but like Sues 2nd says "it won't happen". Are you guys saying this Brits? I see post from Americans that are completely biased against Calzaghe who is a great boxer. I see post from other people Who think that Cotto is the best fighter since Sugar Ray Robinson How can you inteligently say that Vlad is afraid of Haye when he has only fought one heavyweight and the cruiser weight division is getting more competive when he is getting out. Be real people you are embarassing yourself and me for reading it.
Right now PBF is the no1 p4p fighter out there until he loses Now I admit that he should fight Margarita, Cotto winner to retain that position but we have to wait and see. I kind of think that Margarita will win but I think that Cotto matches up better with PBF but I can be wrong. I pick Calzaghe or Pac as number 2
