    I mean obviously noone on Wlad´s resumee is better than Barrett since most Haye fans on here seem to think Haye is suddenly some sort of monster at heavyweight because his win vs. Barrett "proved" so much...
    But what does that make Wlad who absolutely dominated and annihilated a far better version of Barrett?!

    Anyway, out of the following, how many are better than Barrett?
    Name them!

    Rahman - Thompson - Ibragimov - Brewster - Austin - Brock - Byrd - Peter - McCline - Mercer

    Just to put Haye´s win vs. Barrett in perspective...

    To add onto that list, especially considering how over the hill Barrett was when Haye beat him... Jefferson, Castillo, Botha, and Schulz also come to mind.

    Barrett USED to be a decent top 15-20 fighter, back when Wlad wrecked him. The man is a complete mess now. He was knocked out by Cliff Couser in 2 rounds the year before Haye beat him, and couldn't even make it over the ropes without falling in his ass when he fought Haye.

    All three of them would have beat the Barrett that Haye fought. Hell... Rahman already did.

    Rahman already beat Monte.

    Austin beat Golota in a round, better than anything Monte has done.

    Mercer has beaten better opponents as well and even at 41 when he fought Wlad he still had an iron chin and could punch.

    Vlad knocked Barrett out when Barrett was still a good fighter! Blood everywhere! Gomez is better than Haye! Vitali and Vlad has mandatories to fight first before they can even think about Haye. Remember when Peter was the greatest heavyweight in the world, even after Vlad beat him, then they claimed Peter would knock Vitali out, yeah, after Vitali's four year layoff, so many delusional.

    10 1/2 - Schultz, Byrd, Botha, Mercer, Williamson, Brock, Peter, Brewster, Ibragamov, Thompson. Brewster is a tie with Brewster, hence the 1/2.

    I have read and heard that Haye will not fight anyone until he gets a fight with Klitschkos! LOL!
