    David Haye had 7 wins against 200+ lbs opponents. Their median career record is 34-7-1.

    Rocky Marciano had 12 wins against 200+ opponents. Their median career record is 14-12-1.

    Jack Dempsey's win-opponents': 0-4-0 (91% of his opponents were bums).

    Gene Tunney's win-opponents: 0-2-0 (100% of his 200+ opponents were bums with a COMBINED record of 40-48-11).

    Eric Esch's win-opponents: 7-10-0 (Eric Esch has better median opponent than Tunney and Dempsey COMBINED)

    If you include Rocky Marciano and these other old timers at the top places on HEAVYWEIGHT ATG toplists, then you should include David Haye, too.

    Just as a comparison:
    Joe Louis: 53-12-1
    Ali: 42-11-1
    Lennox: 36-8-1
    Tyson: 29-9-0

    since Ali's ranked #1 greatest all time heavyweight, i'd have to rank Hayes at #0 since he'd kick Ali's ass. Hayes is such a great fighter that whenever he fights for a championship all he says is "I win." and the fighters just hand him the belts. one of Britain's finest since peter buckley

    Putting Haye at No.1 All time????
    Are you people insane!!!!!!!

    He'll only achive that after he beats true greats like Ruiz and Peters.
    Until then he's 4th on my list.

    Just behind The Klitschko's and Evander Holyfield. ;)

    If Haye is in the top 10, Barrett must be in the top 20 right?
