    Please, today's division is even worse than the 1 Tyson cleaned up, as Spinks, old Holmes, Bruno, Ruddock, McCall, Douglas and Tucker were around.

    Wladimir would kick any version of Tommy Morrison's ass.

    Ok, now you are comparing Tyson to Haye.

    And "if Haye had a chance". Haye already had two. He backed out of the Wlad and Toney deals.

    That is true, the heavyweight division is very weak.

    That is true. I really think LL should get more respect for that win.

    Nevertheless, Haye is not LL and has still yet to beat a contender,

    It certainly should not give you an immediate title shot but adds to your attraction if you beat a couple of contenders.

    Let's look at history:

    Of the cruiserweight champs only Holyfield had success at heavyweight. But even Holyfield had to work his way up to a title shot. All the other cruiserweight champs like (Al Cole, Orlin Norris, Rober Daniels...) failed at heavyweight.
    You can't count Toney because he started out at 160 but even Toney had to beat a contender in Holyfield (TOP 5 by the Ring at the time). JC Gomez gets a titlle shot after 3 years and 2 eliminators.

    And let's remember Haye has only beaten Mormeck and he is not unbeaten. I know he is talented and has an exciting style but that alone is just not enough.

    What "power* does he bring?

    He has an exciting style and some skills but like I said that is not enough. He is not even known outside the UK and that may be hard for you UK fans to understand. Let's take Jirov for example, did he get a title shot? No, he he was happy to face Joe Mesi.

    It does not matter anyway. Haye already got a title offer but the fight won't come off. Probably Haye overprized himself, now it is back in line for him.

    Yup, and I'd bet Lewis ate the age he is now, to still beat Haye:good

    I have no idea of the answer, but how many fights at Heavy did Micheal Spinks (a LHW champ) have before facing Larry Holmes?

    If either Klitschko gets Haye in the ring, they will shatter that glass jaw, badly.
