Answer is in one of funniest threads ever here: http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=76826
A year ago when he was still a cruiser, you would have to put Haye in the top 10. He was the only champion with 3 belts, was ring champion. He had knocked 3 top 10 ranked fighters from his division in his last 3 fights at that weight. If anyone could name 10 fighters at that time that had done the same please let me know, if you could name 2 I would be suprised. Now that he is at Heavy he is a top 10 there no where near P4P and who cares about P4P after. If he beats either Klitscko he goes top 10, top 5 if he beats both. Also those that say he doesnt deserve a title shot our dumb. He has beaten 2 world ranked heavyweights and was undisputed champion in the division below. Name all the top 15 ranked fighters that have beat more than 2 world ranked guys in the last 3 years???
Mathmatically speaking, the heavier he gets the further down the list he goes (I guess that's stating the obvious) but I agree that beating either of the imposing Klitschkos would vault him into elite P4P status.
Easily top 20. Seriously look at what he has done in 22 fights. European, WBO, WBC, WBA, Ring and Lineal champ at CW and now top ten ranked HW after 2 HW fights.
Undisputed World Champion in 22 fights, World Amateur Finalist. 95% KO ratio. Name 5 fighters that have done more?
About top 20 - top 15ish. The fact that he moved up to heavyweight doesn't hurt his ranking one bit... what might be hurting him though is his inactivity. Haye hasn't fought a worthwhile opponent in a long time.
Nobody cared **** about CW when Haye was Champ there! i dont see any names in that division belongs in top20 p4p that time. First when Haye moved up to heavy people started talking about him, and so far his done nothing there! Thats my point, its far to soon to give him a good rate in p4p! A lot of european boxers have done the same, but never put high in p4p list! To have a 95% KO ratio doesn`t make a fighter better than a guy with 60%... Skills do!
