    If Haye takes Tune up fight who should it be against?

    Before taking on one of the Klitchko's who do you think he should fight?

    I'd pick Sam Peter or Sultan Ibragimov if they are going to get in the ring

    EDIT: Peter and Ibragimov aren't Tune ups so a fight to really test himself against an "A" grade Heavyweight

        Ibragimov would get ktfo in 2 rounds he's far too slow. Peter would be a good fight though again i think he would be knocked out by Haye. Maybe Arreola or Dimitrenko?

            Peter would be a reasonable test.

              Alexander Dimitrenko is the only one who really resembles Wladimir/Vitali.

              The others wouldn't really prepare him for those two in any way.

                if the fight with klitschko gets made you don't want to put him up against someone real dangerous.

                someone with a good name but not much danger in fighting.

                someone either smaller , slower or not packing much power.

                ray austin or dominick guinn would work.

                tua has a big name and slow and past prime enough that haye could get an easy ud......just as long as he doesn't slug it out and get caught.

                  Actually i think he should fight someone alot taller than him with a good jab just to test himself against someone who will fight tall like Wlad/Vitali

                  Unfortunatly I can't really think of someone other than Dimitrenko

                    the problem is any big heavyweight would be risky for the smaller haye.

                    if he loses that's a lot of money down the drain when he could have just fought a no threat , former name to keep busy and sharp.

                    but if you want someone big......

                    lance whitaker and jameel mccline still around? ray austin is pretty tall isn't he? how about michael grant? they're americans too. get people to know haye against an american sells the ppv better.
