Steve Cunningham was the IBF champion back in 2007 when Haye was dominating the division...
But Haye was recognised as the no 1 in the division...
And I don't think anyone here would say that Cunningham would beat Haye... Cunningham has proven himself as nothing special since Haye's step-up in weight.
Actually, if truth be told, back in the day I betted on Maccarinelli to beat Haye...I underestimated The Hayemanker back then...
Since moving up in weight, Haye's 2 victories have been against porven Heavyweight opposition...
I mean lets face it, Haye could've picke deasier fights to settle himself int he division and lived off his Cruiserweight achievements...
But 18 months into his Heavyweight life, he is currently preparing to defend his world title in a fight Ruiz...
Whom might not be the most taletned boxer you will ever see, but he is certainly among the most resolute...
When (if) Haye wins, and I expect him to win by stoppage...
I hope he targets Wladimir Klitchsko... The verdict, I would put it 50/50 on who wins...
But in my opinion, Haye should be wary of Vitali Hlitchsko... I reckon V would defeat Haye. :(
