David Haye's Opponent Will Likely Be Monte Barrett

[Floyd R]

Monte looks like a small heavyweight with limited skill and I can't see how Haye will benefit fighting this guy. How does fighting Monte prepare him for a fight against Klitscho?

Well for one, he will fight a heavyweight, big or small, does not mater.

That in it self is prep work for fighting Wlad.

Or is everyone forgetting that Haye only fought a complete can at heavyweight, once in his life.

Because really, Haye never fought at heavyweight.

He fought heavy at amatures? Well that says something already, because Wlad fought at SuperHeavy (people need to brush up on their amature divisions).

BoxingScene.com has been informed by more than one source that Monte Barrett (34-6, 20KOs) is more than likely the opponent to land the fight with David Haye (21-1, 20KOs) on November 15 at the O2 Arena in London. [details]

barrett is a solid gatekeeper and should test haye.

[Randall_Hopkirk]

I'd say monte is a threat to Haye, he's no can. But then again, most top 50 HW's will be a threat to Haye with his well know vulnerabilities.

Haye vs Valuev Make it Happen

This is not a bad idea. If Haye gets past Barrett in November he could face Valuev in December. Valuev is reportedly looking for an opponent for an optional defense of his WBA December 13....

That would be an interesting fight,

Who you got on that?

KO By Round 6

I'll go on record as predicting a KO/TKO by Haye no later than round 6. Barret isn't a very good fighter and father time is knocking on his door. At least Haye is fighting a legit heavyweight name though.

I'm picking Haye to KO Barrrett in 5 rounds...


As for Valuev-Haye, that's a tough one to call. I'd say Valuev edges out a close decision win...

I'm picking Haye to KO Barrrett in 6 rounds...

I agree on Haye-Barrett.

I also think Valuev-Haye is a tough one, Valuev doesn't have much power, so I doubt he would stop Haye (But hey, maybe..), and he was hurt by an overhand right (If I remember correctly) from Ruiz, so Haye has that shot open. But I don't know how Haye would deal with the size and reach of Valuev, and his jab is pretty good.

I think Haye, but I wouldn't bet a lot on it tbh.

WOULD HAYE BEAT TYE FIELDS AS EASY AS MONTE???
I don't think so...Montes a great test...who is Haye to call out these names after an easy win over Enzo Macranelli??!!
After seeing Barrett beating Fields so easily and the good show against Valuev I reckon one of Monte's big farts would KO Enzo!!!!!!!!...it took Haye a few rounds at least!!!
The guys a fraud with a good body...might help him with the bitches but he has to get in the ring and back up his big mouth!!!
