Fighting Wlad right now is a terrible idea, and Haye will not be at his potential best if it happens this year.
If I was managing Haye this is how I would map out his next 4 fights, assuming he retires at 31.
September 2010: Haye(Age 29) vs Adamek(Age 33)
If Haye can force his will on a technical boxer like Adamek, then he'll be one step closer to getting ready for a BIG technical boxer in Wlad.
March 2011: Haye(Age 30) vs Vitali Klitschko(Age 39)
Haye will knock Vitali out. Vitali's last four opponents had one thing in common: All were all SLOW(Arreola, Peter, Gomez, Johnson). The last "fast" puncher that Vitali faced was an old Corrie Sanders, and he almost stopped Vit in round one. Notice how K2 changed their stance on which brother gets Haye after the Ruiz fight ...They know too.
August 2011: Haye(Age 30) vs Top American in Las Vegas
This will be a great way to get Haye acclimated with American fans. They will know him from the Vitali fight and if Haye can get a decent name like BJ Flores on the card it can possibly go PPV. But above all else its a pause from fighting angry brothers back to back.
April 2012: Haye(Age 31) vs Wladimir Klitsckho(Age 36)
By this point Haye will be in his Prime, and Wlad will have begun to slow down a bit. If they fought today, Id give the edge to Wlad, but with proper experience, Haye destroys him in 5 rounds.
