      Hopkins should get him at a catchweight, otherwise forget it. Hopkins is too old at this stage for much larger men.

        A catchweight would have to be below 200. I doubt Haye would be able to get very low so its not gonna happen. He never showed any interest, or even mentioned Hopkins' name anyways.

        But I think Haye should fight Adamek next, assuming he doesn't lose to Arreola.

          Wlad.

          Haye vs Wlad is basically a who lands something big first fight. The shot that knocked Ruiz down in the first round last night would have had Wlad walking on ice. But some of the shots Ruiz was landing against Haye against the ropes, would have had him in trouble if they were from the hands of Wlad.

          But yeah, Haye should fight Wlad. He wants to fight him, but that doesn't mean a lot in the business of boxing. Hopefully the WBA let Haye have an optional defence.

              Vitaly Klitschko. This would be interesting. Wladimir has Peter and Povetkin to fight with. Especially Peter - this guy knocked down Wlad three times (and lost the fight nevertheless)!

                  Tua is old and slow, he'd get KOed by Haye now. He didn't look good against age 40 Ahunyana.

                  Haye would be better off fighting someone in his prime like Peter, Boytsov, Chambers, or the winner of Arreola-Adamek.

                    that would be an interesting fight but haye has better speed and footwork so that will help him get a "W" against Tua. But he should fight wlad next.
