Was Haye a legit HW or just a blown up CW?

    You migth be right about that.

    To get back on topic. Haye fought two natural HW's; Ruiz and Barrett. Size and range seemed to be about the same.

    Haye's biggest accomplishments lies at Cruiser, so you could make the case that he didn't belong @heavy.. But 6"3" and 205-218 IBS or whatever he weighed, is pretty reasonable for a HW..
    But i think that Sanders was a more dangerous opponent though..

    Valuev is not a natural sizes HW. He is a cold war genetic enginering experiment. (I miss him at HW, though :|)

    Same thing happened to me, alot of my friends lost money that night, for some reason Wlad had good odds at the local bookies, which leads most people who only knows one of the boxers who happens to be the fav that it's in the bag

    Very fast and good Heavyweight.

    Wladimir is too good for Haye but Haye has a chance and can beat all other Heavyweights.

    I dont but that blown up CW ****. 6'3" and 220 pounds is a big man. He had power. He had speed. But he was all mouth and was just a huge ***** and a fraud.

    Haye was a legit heavyweight with the mentality of a blown up cruiserweight looking to cash out.

    In other words, he was a big man at CW who was spoiled by fighting in that division and never really adapted to the heavyweight division, despite having the physical assets to be a legitimate top 10 heavyweight.
