What is David Haye waiting for?

Haye stayed in training after the Mormeck fight and murdered himself further to stay at the weight and destroy Enzo. He then said all along he was going to take at least 6 months off, he and Adam Booth are being sensible, he is building muscle over time and also giving his body the rest it needs from the weight draining to get to the cruiserweight division. The HW division is a totally different kettle of fish, Haye I think will come in around 215 to 220 maybe which doesn’t make him a massive hw and to be honest that’s the sort of HW size I prefer rather than the lumbering monstrosities such as Valuev. It will be interesting to see if his stamina issues continue or whether it was the weight draining that was causing it.
If you look at Haye's record he hasnt ducked anyone, I mean taking on the wiley Carl Thompson early in his career taught him a big lesson. So I think (and certainly from the noises he has made) he wants only top ten fighters or fighters rated higher than he is. Isn't that the way to go?? Don’t you want to see more fighters say that sort of thing? (I mean as long as he backs it up then fine). I think the IBF had the right idea having their top 4 tee off against each other, at least you get a "valid" mandatory then! I mean how/why would Ray Austin get a title shot?? What has he ever done!!
Regards the fighters who have been mentioned….
I don’t see what Barrett has done than warrants a shot he just wants a payday, he knocked out Tye Fields….big wow.
Rahman I am not interested in seeing him fight either because to be honest I think he doesn’t have any love for the game so it’s a nothing fight if you ask me.
Toney would be very interesting, even though he is way past his prime he is so bloody awkward, how do you train to fight someone like him? How do you spar? Get winky wright to wear a sumo suit?? It would be an interesting fight like I said but not one that is good to "announce your arrival in the HW division"
Thompson would be a good choice, ok he is a southpaw and would have a 3 inch reach advantage but I just think Haye would be too quick for him.
Imbragomov I think could be dangerous as he is a slippery little customer.
For entertainment factor (in the same way it was against Enzo) Brewster would be worth a watch!
Like I said I don’t think stamina will be his issue and I can see him looking flashy its just whether his chin holds up, he maybe another Michael Moorer…. I hope not as the division needs an injection of new life into it. And I am sorry the likes of "fast" Eddie Chambers don’t cut it.Comment

Wlad's fans are not worried, they're just annoyed about the weekly stories of Haye shooting his mouth off.
He should shut up until he at least has a fight scheduled. And he shouldn't fight a shot old Maskaev or Rahman, he should fight Thompson, Dimitrenko, Chambers or Barrett, since he's been bragging so much he shouldn't fear them.
Well of all the Haye thread most are started by Wlad's fan, Let him shoot his mouth off if he wants thats his business but i agree he needs to make a fight soon, I doubt he would fight Rahman or Maskaev anyway but thompson and Barrett/chambers dont bring the name that Rahman or masakeav would bring.....Trust me Dimitrenko's people are not ready for Haye (He doesnt need to be rushed).Comment

So Oleg is most likely the guy his gonna fight.

But in the Austin fight he threw a lot of bombs and it was an entertaining fight.
