lmao god no. enzo was a huge domestic unification who had a decent resume at the time. nothing will ever change that. kinda like saying would it hurt louis' legacy if he lost his title to a lightheavyweight. doesn't change anything.
Yes but at the time they were billed as being roughly the same size. Now the win may go down as that over a "blown up Lightheavyweight". Could you ever imagine Haye making 175 lbs?
How does beating a lump like Enzo add to anyone's "resume"? What has Haye ever done to make himself worthy of a legacy? After one of the Klits cracks his skull in half no one will ever think of him again.
so does wlad beating byrd count as just a "blown up lightheavyweight"? could you evr imagine wlad making 175lbs? i think byrd is by far wlad's most impressive victory, but his tenure at lhw(about as short as i expect mac's to be) takes absolutely nothing away from wlad's victory in my eyes. nor will mac's comeback detract from haye's victory. it was a hugely demanded fight, both were legitimate champs (the only 2 in the division) the fight absolutely had to happen.
That fight was a long time ago. Calzaghe beat him when he was considered good and at the top of his division. Doesn't diminish that. And he knocked him out.
haye ruined him just like he ruined valuev, after haye gets through with them they need long long loooong lay offs.
