    Legacy: fraud who knew how to manipulate simple-minded people from a nation I shall not name. That's it. Will walk into the Cyprus sunset with a fat bank account and a cynic's satisfaction for having swindled tens of millions of people. Class act.

    You're forgetting that Haye is one of the best Cruisers of all time (I know it's a young division) Haye has a great Cruiserweight legacy but little to no HW legacy. I do think he would beat Wladimir should they fight again.

    You forgot the main phrase that sums up Haye and his fans.

    " In a mythical match up Haye beats every current heavyweight boxer. "

    Haye has quickly gone from one of the most overrated to one of the most underrated fighters.

    Has been voted the best Cruiser of the last decade for a reason. He was an ATG at that weight with probably the best combiantion of power and speed ever at cruiser.

    His HW resumee is spotty, but let's face it unless you beat a Klitschko, it is hard to be rated all-time at the moment. Still he has turned him into a legitmate HW with serious power and speed. He held a title and went 12 rounds with Wlad and in my eyes still beats everybody in the division not named Klitschko, while giving an aged Vitali a tougher fight than most people expect. That being said he could not beat Wlad unless he landes a lucky "Hayemaker". Haye in the Ruiz fight was bigger than Holy, Holmes and Tyson. No, he is not as good as these guys, but he would be a dangerous foe with his speed and power in any era.
