    and judging by the era he fought in, he shouldnt even have a belt to parade around with....he doesnt deserve any belt, paper or not for refusing to fight the champion and then taking the next easy road to a paper title with paper defenses...is comical

    Haye actually had a WBA title. Povetkin has a glorified ranking.

    :lol: :rofl No. Valuev was the Interm WBA "Champion", that's what Haye "won". 2 or 3 days before Vova-Chagaev the WBA said the weren't going to sanction the fight for the WBA regular title so when Ruslan lost it just magically disappeared and the interm belt morphed into the regular title. Haye's belt was just as garbage as Sasha's. Valuev had the interm title, enough said.

    lol thank you for that, effort appreciated.

    He has decent resume but I think OP means in terms of his title defenses rather than his pre-title resume. He fought Boswell and now Huck, not amazing, also was in talks with fighting Holyfield (seriously?) and Rahman.
