    Why? He knocked out most accomplished HW in the last decade,
    if he knock out the giant Valuev who never been knocked down
    and two other top 10 ATG (Wlad and Vitaly) then why not?

    If he knocks out Wlad and Vitali fights and retires unbeaten at HW he's going to be in the argument with a guy like Gene Tunney. But you can't rank in the top 5 with 6 fights at the weight, obviously.

    nah but it would certainly propel him up the rankings (he'd probably go down as best new HW of the past decade once he's done it). just out of interest, where'd you get the **** hot avatar?

    I assume you're talking top 5 HW ATG.

    If he knocked out both the sisters he'd be top 20 HW ATG maybe?? Considering the sisters are probably around 10-20 themselves.

    I think he'd have a legit argument as a top 10 HW atg if he knocks out Arreola/Adamek winner, Povetkin, Vitali and Wlad. Until then however...

    If he knocked out all three guys? He'd be a top 15 possibly.

    Mine.

    It's my opinion of course, but I don't see Haye cracking into it in 4 more fights.

    Putting Haye in the same sentence as ATG is absurd in the extreme, unless of course the sentence reads: "How the **** can anyone be considering Haye as an ATG?"
