    How come David haye fights Vitali first and not someone like Arreola or Povetkin

    Is he trying to cash out while he can since one or both of those fighters are very much capable of beating him

    If it makes dollars, it makes sense. and he just doesn't want to bother. He'd probably destroy *******, and likely Povetkin too(can't judge, haven't seen him fight much), but those aren't big money fights.

      Now listen, obviously I'm a Haye fan, but I seriously doubt either of those guys could beat Haye. Povetkin could more than Arreola, Arreola's far too slow and out of shape to fucck with Haye, Povetkin is good but I think Haye's power would prove too much for him.

      David likes a challenge, and he's stepping up to the plate to fight the best, and that's one thing you cannot discredit him for.

        First I was thinking that Vitali would definitely beat Haye... But Vitali didn't exactly have a live underdog opponent infront of him in his last fight. He had Sam Peter who seemed afraid to try to throw any punches.

        Vitali definitely showed he had great defense and all in that fight but I felt as though Sam Peter was scared before he even stepped in that ring against Vitali... A shot version of Barrett put up more of a fight then Sam Peter did in my opinion...

            povetkin is kind of chunky too but we all know he has pretty fast hands for a guy his size. povetkin also has looked quite good, not going to call him great yet but he dismantled a challenger who came to win like eddie chambers. Doesn't eddie chambers still only have one loss on his record?

                Povetkin was very sick and he still pretty much dominated Chambers. He's an olympic gold medalist and a top 5 heavyweight.

                Povetkin would KO Haye

                Arreola vs Haye could go either way

                  Honestly he might be trying to cash out. He is in a win win situation, fighting the best, even if he loses he still makes his money, and he lost to the best. If he wins, he has made his money and has beat the best, and now sets up even a bigger fight with Wladimir.
