    Haye had no balls. If I talked that much and performed like he did I would never show my face again. He would have gotten more credit getting knocked out for trying. Haye is a ***** with a big mouth.

    The problem today is none of these guys know how to fight and most of them dont know how to box. The Klitschkos are excellent boxers so they really never get into situations that exploit their weaknesses. These fighters of the 90's had the ability to take the Klits out of their comfort zone and Im 100% confident they wouldnt have near the reigns as champions if they could even become champs in the first place, certainly in the case of Wlad who looks like a completely different guy when he tries to slug a little.

    That list is significantly better than the heavies of today. Yes, significantly better.

    There are no fewer than four fighters on there that make most people's all-time Top 10. :rofl

    I can see it now: "But they arent all..." --- Is that what I said? My statement is true. Four All-Time TOP TEN Heavyweights on that list for a single year. All clearly good enough at the time to be rated.

    Yep, Holyfield, Tyson, Foreman and Lewis all make my top 10, while Bowe is included in my top 15, and Witherspoon in my top 25.... That's what you call a talent packed division...
