    Haye will get a fair amount of props if he beats both of them, but ATG? Please...the heavyweight division is too weak for anyone currently in it to EVER be considered an ATG...

    Absolutely not:rofl You CANNOT have a 2 fight heavyweight career and retire an ATG.

    David Haye can never be mentioned even alongside frank bruno or henry cooper in my eyes...never mind the truly great heavyweights

    Manny Pac has a greater chance of winning Middleweight and Super Middleweight world titles than Haye has of beating both Klitschkos fairly.

    Bruno fought the best. He beat a really good fighter in Oliver McCall.
    He had his moments against the best he lost to.

    Indeed...Bruno was pretty awesome in his day. Does not get a lot of respect but a good champ./

    He won't be an ATG but he will rank higher than the Klitschko's, who's ranking will drop significantly.

    Based on accomplishments, he wouldnt even be in the conversation
    Head to head, top 40/50 maybe

    Haye's already a top 10 ATG. Beating them (which he will make easy work of if they ever grow a pair) will just further cement his ATG status.

    He would have to beat Harrison again to prove it wasnt a fluke!

    If someone could beat both Bros, they'd go down as top15 minimum imo

    If Haye beats both Klitschkos, he'll go down in HIStory as the giant Killer. Won his first belt from SNV, then unified against two more giants.
    But will that be enough to make him an atg heavyweight? I'm not so sure.
    None of these guys are going down as great, except for maybe Wlad if he unifes and has a really long reign; but losing again pretty much washes up any chance Wlad has of being considered great. Thus if Haye beats him, it is a win over someone very good but not great. So the best Haye can hope for is 3 solid wins over good heavyweight fighters and 3 crappy wins. That won't put him on any atg lists. He'd need to bolster that with some longevity, and his desire to retire soon prevents that.

    yes he would plus he'd be the best looking undisputed champ in history (no homo).
