    Anndd this idiot turns it into a bashing thread....

    Anyway, I'd have to say Briggs. Not as a fighter in general but at that stage of his career. He was lucky to win the WBO title and was useless in that fight.

    Other than him Mormeck was undeserving and terrible.

    Adamek
    Mormeck
    Chambers

    They have no business existing in the Heavyweight division. Haye is the only sub-220 lber who should be given a license.

    Mormeck and Adamek both hold their own against similarly smallish HWs. Adamek has found ways to win against tough guys too.

    Come to think of it, Adamek is throwing himself out there again, come Sept.

    But yeah, Haye is by faaaaaaaar the best of the 3 at HW, then again, he's the only natural HW of the 3. I was happily surprised by his abilty to come in at 210 and still go toe to toe with DelBoy. Luckily 4 him, DelBoy's lack of one punch power and a ref's cutting off rd 3 when Del finally found him, saved him from getting KOd himself.:good

    In terms of resume, Charr may well be the one. Before him, probably Sosnowski (dude's a warrior, but didn't deserve the fight). Obed Sullivan (from back in 1999 during Vitali's first WBO reign) is also a contender.

    Mormeck and Rahman were so shot by the time they fought Klitschko that either might have been the worst h2h. But they were both good names for Wlad's resume.

    Exactly, in most of Europe they don't care for quick KO's...............

    What an absolutely ridiculous, baseless generalisation.

    I hope that was sarcastic.

    I think the fact the RTL pays the bills plays into it as well. RTL has to make money with commercials between rounds. Carrying somebody 12 rounds makes sense from a financial POV, but this lack of killer instinct really puts me off as a fight fan. He should have ended it right away.

    Chambers is a very good fighter that would give fits to anyone not named Klitschko. Haye might beat him or might he be outboxed. Everyone else is an fairly easy win for Eddie.

    Not at all, it's true. In the USA everyone seems to like the quick KO al la Mike Tyson but in most of Europe they appreciate a good back & forth fight or a boxing clinic.

    Ok, so what equips you to make such a generalisation about an entire continent of 700+ million people, spread across 50 different countries containing god knows how many distinct cultures?

    What a load of guff.

    I'm European and I love quick, spectacular knockouts and I loathe boring boxing clinics as practiced by the Klits.
