    Some of you numpties have been claiming that David Haye is too small for the heavyweight division despite the fact tat he is a 6’3 233lb giant with the same reach as Wladimir.
    Anyway which heavyweight champions of the past could fight at the current 200lb cruiserweight limit?

    Floyd Patterson
    Joe Lewis
    Rocky Marciano
    Evander Holyfield

    Give me some more names, there must be plenty.

    He has yet to prove anything at his new weight of 233.

    I don't think the knock is Haye's too small but that he's been down against smaller guys than he'll face at HW. Let him get in the ****ing ring already and quit talking ****. By the way, Marciao, Patterson would be Cruiserweights today not HW's.

    Saying that Haye is too small is ridiculous... 6'3" 225lbs, that's bigger than Ali. Just that people question his chin against the bigger heavyweights. I think he can do quite well, but i would like to see him rack up a few heavyweight wins before he takes on Klitschko.
