Joe Calzaghe would like to see his countryman WBA heavyweight champion David Haye fight both of Klitschko brothers in 2010; WBO/IBO/IBF champion Wladimir and WBC champion Vitali. Calzaghe feels that Haye has the skill to fight and beat the brothers but warns that both fighters will be far tougher than the 7'2 giant Nikolai Valuev, who Calzaghe doesn't think could fight very much. Haye must first meet and beat WBA mandatory John Ruiz.

“David has the skill and speed but fighting someone like the  Klitschko brothers will be harder than fighting Valuev, who is a bigger guy but he can’t fight. He will be the underdog but let’s see. He out-boxed Valuev, he kept his distance and he didn’t lose sight of what he had to do. I believe that when he fi ghts the Klitschkos he will try the same tactics," Calzaghe told The Daily Star.

“He has to fight John Ruiz first, which he will win easily. Then I see him making a big fight, possibly at Wembley in the summer, full house, against one of the Klitschkos. That will be massive money. Win or lose, he will be set for life.”

Haye is one of the biggest trash talkers in boxing. Calzaghe has advised him to keep it up. He says the verbal wars that Haye creates are good for business in the end.

“Early on in my career I was exactly the same as David. It’s good because people pay attention to what he has to say. He rattles his opponents. That’s a good thing. Listen, it’s pantomime. Remember Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn? Remember the hatred between the two of them? It’s all crap. But it puts bums on seats. People want to watch the fight and it makes more money for the fighters. That’s just the way it is,” Calzaghe said.
