Who is David Haye’s first opponent in the heavyweight division??

[Flawless]

Anyone have a clue or any rumors.

Which fighters are available on November?? And who should he fight.

I hope Vitali gets injured and we have Peter vs Haye

[kayjay]

He should fight any of the following:

Ibragimov, Thompson, Virchis, Gomez, Dimitrenko, Chambers


Those guys are all available, but too dangerous.

He will fight Rahman, or Maskaev, or Couser, or Holyfield.

[Flawless]

Thompson called him out so it may happen

[Flawless]

I not sure about Rahman and Holyfield, don't think they would trouble him now

Virchis and Gomez are fighting each other late next month, Thompson won't fight so soon after getting blitzed, the other two are viable opponents, but are NOT ranked highly by the ABC organisations.

Rahman for some reason has a high IBF ranking and beating him would get Haye closer to the fight he wants.

Dimitrenko is atop the WBO and IBF lists.

Ibragimov is still high on the WBO list.


The only reason to fight Rahman is that he's no longer a threat. I don't have a problem with that for Haye's first fight, but let's not pretend there isn't very careful matchmaking going on. Haye will not risk it against any of ten best. Not until he gets a shot with Wlad.

And Rahman is not among the twenty best right now.

I cant believe that people are banking on this guy to be some kind of savior. He gets put on his ass all the time by cruiserweights, what else can he do when he gets hit by a decent punching heavyweight besides fall? To those people saying his chin is **** because he was having trouble making weight, even if thats true, whos fault is that? Hes the one that decided to try to look like a bodybuilder when he should have been worried about fighting.

He'll probably end up fighting another CW thats moving up in O'Neal Bell, Watch.

[Silencers]

Dimitrenko is a good fight, I think it'll be someone like Maskaev though.

Haye's a limey hypejob with no chin. Didn't you know?
