    This may seem unreasonable, but I honestly feel more excited about Haye moving to heavy (and talking plenty of good **** while he is at it) than I do about any other happenings in the division.

    It reminds me of Toney a few years back. I love the verbal assault on the heavies, and his willingness to fight bigger men while displaying the potential of a highly skilled smaller man.

    I'm thrilled he is moving up. I feel that the entire division is too complacent. He has personality and I am looking forward to it no matter the result.

    Not very good options there. Its either you think that he is the most exciting thing, or it dont matter. I think that its in the middle somewhere. I think that Haye could beat alot of todays Heavyweights. Not sure about the very top one, if there is such a thing today.

    Basicaly, its whether you think the division is so bad that the most exciting thing about it is your intrigue for how well he can do. I honestly feel this way.

    Yeah, but if he loses, there goes the excitement. I hope he'll stay a while.

    I dont think that he would make it more exciting because he wont every beat a top heavyweight. Sure he could pick the right fight and win, but if he is going to make a difference then he has to fight the top guys and beat them. I just dont think that he can beat many of the top guys. A couple yes. Maybe some of the smaller guys that dont it as hard. His Talent and skill would get him by. but the big bangers??? I just dont see it.

    Yes. Any new blood is a good thing. Even if he gets starched by the first decent HW he faces.

    I agree with you. I would like him to clean house, yet I know it won't happen.

    I'll take the unofficial #3 - The heavyweight division is not exciting and Haye does not help.

    It does not matter about where Haye is from, it is the prejudice, not provincial, which is where all the hype is coming from. Since when does beating a cruiserweight make a boxer the mandatory for the heavyweight champions?
