Haye knows the reality of his situation, he's unlikely to land a shot at Klitschko unless he puts himself in position to force the fight.
"I'm not going to get a heavyweight title shot straight off the bat. I've got to work my way up the rankings like I did at cruiserweight. You can't just sit back and start demanding: 'I want Klitschko next' and expect him to fight me - it doesn't work like that. I've got to become the mandatory challenger. Like I did for Mormeck," Haye said.

I don't understand why some people find it so outlandish that Haye could potentally beat Klitschko. The fellow has just become the best cruiserweight in the world and has 19 KOs from 20 fights. Yes it's very early to talk about Klitschko and Haye should prove himself with a couple of fights against good heavyweights first, but it would appear to me that a guy with Haye's speed and power, along with his decent size, could on paper upset Klitschko.Comment
