    FACTS about David Haye

    - Former WBA Heavyweight Champion of the world

    - Former Unified Cruiserweight champ

    - All Time Great and Hall Of Famer

    - He is the biggest draw in the history of the sport

    - Has never truly lost

    - There is no blueprint to beat him

    - He is unbeatable

    - He is the most dominant fighter of all time

    - His defeat of 300lb 7 foot ATG Giant Nikoli Valuev is the single greatest win in the history of the sport.

    - He has dominated every opponent he has ever faced

    - 27 have tried and 27 have been dominated

    - Has never been behind of a real boxing fan's scorecards at the end of a fight

    - He is the most intimidating HW of all time

    - One of the hardest hitters of all time KO% = 89%

    - Best defensive fighter of all time

    - Haye is 31 and is still dominating.

    - Haye beats any HW and CW from any era.

    Yeah, I reluctantly agree. . . I don't think him winning against Huck was really that bad of a decision. I had it a draw, but there were a lot of close rounds. . It's just that the rounds Huck won, he clearly won, and landed cleaner punches in those rounds. . .


    But he pretty thoroughly beat CHambers, who is a lot better boxer than credited.


    So yaeh, I'd say it's Povetkin, but definitely not a definitive third. . . If Adamek beats CHambers, then he could make an argument. . .

    That's true.. But a completely green fresh from the amateurs Vitali dominated a prime Lewis..
    However you should also consider the context that Valuev may wanted to exit his career in style with a chicken dance late in the fight..
    Event win for Valuev.

    3rd best will be G$ora-Haye winner.

    4th best will be Eddie-Adamek winner.

    5th best will be the best loser of those two fights...

    Haye. He is a level below both brothers, but still the best of the rest IMO

    Yeah but we also have to consider that Valuev was coming of his destruction of prime Holyfield (at a 311 lb catchweight).
