    Haye might beat Vitali now but I wouldn't even class Vitali as 'best of the rest' behind Wladimir. These guys need to fight often and beat the top guys to prove they are 'best of the rest'. All I see is fighters who rarely fight, and cherry pick when they do. Even Vitali hasn't put on a good performance against a decent opponent since he fought Adamek. He's old and just about finished we can conclude.


    Maybe Haye's being rated very highly off a win over Dereck Chisora ?
    I mean, that's Haye's only win since 2010, and I'm going back to Audley Harrison fight (a meaningless win). Haye's heavyweight accomplishments are very weak indeed.
    No boxing fans or writers rated Ruiz, Harrison or Barrett as relevant contenders when Haye fought them. Valuev was coming off terrible showing against a 46-year-old Holyfield and looking to retire. These fights were all years ago.
    It must be the Chisora fight that impresses people ?

    I agree with this, and I don't think one fighter should get the jump over another fighter 'un******ted' but outside Haye & Purlev or whatever the right spelling is, Haye's still best HW. NO?

    Well, put it this way : Wladimir's still #1 and there are probably three or four guys who could claim the #2 spot and Haye's among them.

    Yeah I like the way Dempsey questioned him and put him in his place...I didnt like the way Haye came across to be honest...didnt like it up him! :good

    All Haye see's is an easy route to becoming heavyweight champ along with loads of cash.

    Fair play to Paul Dempsey, makes a change from the rigid arse-kissing agenda that the TV pundits have with British boxers these days.

    Yes, well done Dempsey. A refreshing change from the arse kissing Bunce and very often inane Adam Smith. Didn't Haye agree that Wlad had pretty much beaten everybody out there but later, in wide-eyed gibberish mode, castigated him for fighting another hand picked opponent (Pianeta)?

    When Haye beats Charr he'll probably line up a fight with Pianeta.
    Remember you heard it here first.

    Too bad he bottled the fight and made himself the laughing stock of boxing in the process.

    No way he made $20m from Wlad. More like $5m-7m.

    They both got 26 odd million payday didn't they? Obviously that will have been taxed but i think he probably made 3 million plus for valuev, ruiz and harrison. He's the biggest earner in britain by a distance.
