I say he should fight some contenders before tackling the Klits. I say this, not because I don't want Haye to get a shot, but because I think he has a bright future at HW and want him to prepare properly for his shot when he gets it. Monte isn't enough experience at HW to try and tackle the dangerous klitschko brothers, especially Vitali.

I propose Calvin Brock, Chazz Witherspoon, Tony Thompson, or some other capable contenders that can season Haye at this weight class without being too much of a threat. I don't want to see him fight Toney, cause I like what Haye brings to the table as a young rising star in the division, and I would hate to root against him...

Arreola, though raw, may have the formula to rock Haye, so he should stay clear of him at this point IMO. I guess you could say my vote for Haye's next opponent comes as a Haye Fan wanting to see him succeed. Tell us who you want him to face next and why. Perhaps you might want him to fight the Klits next as someone who wants to see Haye get rocked, for example, or perhaps you want to see him fight the Klits because you are a fan and think he may win...

...your thoughts?!?

Kevin Kingpin Johnson dog. Get into talks with that guy again, he wants to get it on with Haye and he's showin some promise righ now. Not Brock and all the others it's not likely.

Haye will probably try for JD Chapman again, if that doesen't work he might fight Sinan Samil Sam (lowest ranked WBC fighter)

Even though Dimitrenko is ahead of him and it would be a great fight David Haye doesen't want to fight anyone that can beat him. As I said it the other thread, Haye won't even whisper Dimitrenko's name. Haye only wants someone who needs a payday that will be willing to fight in Haye's backyard under all of Haye's terms..... hmmm maybe a superfight with Oleg Maskaev?

Other possible opponents: Ray Austin or Kali Meehan.

I would like to see him fight Dimitrenko because it would give us an idea of how Haye would do against the Klitschkos, Dimitrenko has similar physical assets as the Klitschkos and stylistically, he fights similarly to them, moreso Wlad than Vitali though.

order of likely Haye opponents.

1. Oleg Maskaev
2. Sinan Samil Sam
3. Kali Meehan
4. Ray Austin
5. Kevin Johnson

If he wants to prepare himself for fighting an opponent with a reach advantage and a very good jab, he should fight Tony Thompson.

If he wants to face a taller opponent with a bit of a name that he will probably KO, he should face Michael Grant.

Hypejob Haye should fight Vitali

Vitali will knock him out cold and end his overhyped career

I was just thinking about Michael Grant today. Its funny that he has fought a couple times recently and not so much as a whisper yet whenever that fat slob David Tua farts there is a thread about it.

Haye isnt going to fight Thompson, Dimitrenko I would bet the house on that.

He isn't trying to prepare for the Klitschko's so much as trying not to **** up the big payday he is guaranteed is he wins a couple mismatches diguised as competitive fights.

I'd like to see him fight Arreola, to get rid of another prospective contender, so we don't waste our time with a heavyweight championship fight against an unworthy contender.
