Looks like Haye will be fighting Rahman in a title eliminator.

I heard that they were trying to rekindle that.
Nothing set in stone yet though.
Haye said he needs 6 months to grow into the Heavyweight frame he wants and from then on he plans fighting every 3 months.

Yeah i heard he will be training over the next 6 months to develop into a true heavyweight, Outside of wlad no one in the division will be in the sort of shape haye will be in.

Don't be suprised if he goes straight for a belt, He'd fight Wlad now if he could

[J Mac]

I know. He didnt get all that much credit for it though.

simply because over here he wasn't really well known (outside boxing fans) until he won the titles. Now he will start getting his due.

Just want to find out what peoples thoughts are for Hayes first match up at Heavyweight?
Should he fight some random European?
Or a well known veteran?
Or should he jump straight into the fire and fight a title holder?
As the WBC WBA & WBO champ at Cruiser I am sure it could be arranged to meet any of these title holders at HW.

What say you?

How about he fights.... somone like Chris Orrella(sp) or Mike Mollo..

Calvin Brock?? Alexander Povetkin another good choice.. I'd say he needs to stay away from the top 10 till he can prove his chin can hold up

[Welter_Skelter]

what about imbragimov ? it would be a good guage to see how he handles him compared to wlad and an impressive victory could set up big things

Ibragimov would be an unwise choice at this juncture

[col Blake]

First match for Haye should be against Audley Harrison

That is the thing over the last few years or so Haye has been fighting better competition than any of our british champion Without getting much praise for it, He was ****** enough to fight Carl"the cat" thompson after only 10 fights under his belt, If he was a Frank warren fighter he would probably be more famous by now but he would have been fighting Bums after bums to the tune of 35-0 before he even stepped up in competition.

How many british champion have we seen clean up there division at after only 22 fights? So am glad the man is finally getting his long overdue dues.

He shouldn't jump in with one of the top 20 guys until he gets his feet wet...

I agree. His 1st fight should be against a heavyweight he has a good chance to knockout so he can get his name out to the casual fan.
