Who Should Haye Fight Next?

[Allucard]

The fight should happen, there was a verbal agreement between Haye and Klitschko on live tv, but it's not guaranteed that it will be the next fight. Wlad isn't fighting Rahman for another month yet and Vitali has a mandatory before he can face Haye.

Correction, and i repeat, it WILL happen. And it's the NEXT fight. Better believe it.

Lennox Lewis

One of the Klitschko brothers.

What's the point of taking on anyone else? It'll just be the same result as tonight. Sam Peter is a joke, as is the likes of Tony Thompson and the others who have lost to the Klitschko's.

Might as well just go for the big one now. That's the type of person Haye is anyway.

The fighters that lost to the Klitschkos are not jokes.

They were made look that way by Wlad and Vitali, but they are not as bad as you think.

I think a fight against Arreola or Dimitrienko would be good. Two up and comers battling it out to see who is really ready for a title opportunity.

They would both make good fights vs Haye, especially Dimitrienko with his height and athleticism,

Most logical to take on one of the Klitschko brother's recent opponents. Interesting to see how Haye performs, compared to how the Klitschko's did. Tony Thompson, Sultan Ibragimov, Sam Peter or someone else?

haye should fight some other eastern euro / russian robot as a tune up for the klit bros.

It's gotta be Wlad for me. I don't see Haye gettin all that much better with experience. It's always gonna come down to if Haye gets to unload his bombs before he gets caught himself.

Wlad gives him a chance of 2 bumper paydays. If he takes Wlad then he gets Vitali with an even bigger payday when he tries to avenge Wlad's defeat. I don't see Haye hanging around long, he's not the type to rack up a long undefeated record at HW, 50/50 chance of he goes down before the other guy.

Bring on Wlad next year.

Haye loses to Wlad in about 8 rounds.Loses to Vitali in 2-3 rounds?

James Toney while at an advanced stage of his career would give David Haye fits. Haye would ink out a decision but I'm convinced as right hand dependent David Haye is, Toney would roll those shots fairly easily. Plus that fight does NOTHING to solidfy his preparation against the Klichko's.

As mentioned in this thread I think McCline would be very good (tall opponent who's been in with top competition). Peter would be but if they're doing it the "calculated" way they'd say Peter's too dangerous. I don't disagree that peter has knockout power but seeing the way Vitali dismantled him I don't see Haye having a problem. Peter is not very good against guys with good boxing technique, see the McCline and Toney fight (not the 2nd one) as an example and Haye is faster than both of them.

I do think Haye is a knockout waiting to happen so hopefully he atleast has some good sparring. His advantage is he has speed and he throws with bad intentions, has good balance, athleticism. I like him a lot but I do see holes.

At this stage I can see him beating Vlad but losing to Vitali.

I think Stewart (Manny) is overrated at times but I could clearly see him devising a plan for Wlad to negate Haye's strengths.

I agree he should fight someone along the lines of Dimentrenko or Arreola, but if he goes for Klitschko's he should take Wlad first.
Then when he knocks out Wlad, big brother Vit will come to his rescue and beat him by a tko.
That's the way the Klitschko's work.

Dimitrenko would be the 'be all say all' test which would prove either a Haye a legitimate thread or just an over hyped cw...
