his first target is WBC No 3 and IBF No 4 Hasim Rahman, who won the world title in 2001 when he knocked out Lennox Lewis.
Haye’s manager Adam Booth said: “We came close to making the fight against Rahman before we took the bout against Maccarinelli.
“There’s a strong possibility it could be revived and I will be talking to WBC and IBF officials to see if it could be billed as a title eliminator.

that would be a very smart fight for haye. he'd knock rahman out early. rahman is shot to hell and he has zero defense and no mobility at all anymore. he'd be a sitting duck for haye's accurate punching
