And even if he could get down in weight, there is no guarantee that he wouldn't lose a great deal of his punch power, which, at world class level at cruiserweight, hasn't exactly shown itself to be Shavers like.

Further, the quality tends to be rather sharper at lower down the weights. Really, now that Bell is off the scene, Moremeck done, and Haye at heavy, who is there? Certainly, Maccarinelli hasn't fought anyone near to the quality of Hopkins, Pavlik or Dawson, and he may find that his natural size, even if it remains as undiminished as possible, isn't enough to bridge the gulf in class.

But there is no way he could drag his frame down to that weight, so its a moot point.

i think its fair to say that haye is very near the quality of pavilk and dawson
