    Whose ranking is this? Yours? Or did it come from a recognized publication?

    Do we really know that though?

    Haye has two fights at Heavyweight.

    He beat a guy who Wlad had destroyed in a fight 8 years prior and the same guy that could not beat Cliff Couser, Nico Valuev, or Hasim Rahman.

    That is worthy of a #3 ahead of guys who have been at Heavyweight their whole career? :huh

    Whatever anybody says, his resume at cruiser counts, as does his ability as a fighter. Are you seriously going to say you would rank hit below everybody that has a resume better than 1 win over Tomasz Bonin at heavy? That would probably put him outside the top 100 ffs.

    The divisions that Jack Johnson, Louis, Marciano & Holmes fought in were much worse.

    Arreola, Dimentrenko, Solis & Chambers are not "laughable" IMO. Right there are 3 undefeated (if untested) & 1 slick, speedy boxer with a single loss on his record.

    Solis has definitely not earned 7th.
