At Cruiser of course he was....comfortably the best in the division...
As randalls already pointed out he's a tad small at heavy.....then again, it diddnt stop Tyson and Holyfield.
tyson and holyfield had the warrior instinct, never seen that in haye to be honest.
oche raises an interesting point re the russians though, would vitali not make the top 25 of all time?

You choose your leaders and place your trust
As their lies put you down and their promises bust

The two defeats were pretty much his own doing.
Hardly trained for both, took both opponents lightly. Same can be said for the Vitali fight tbf, he was a late replacement for what Lewis considered a far easier fight.
