to me mormeck rematch is a waste of time,hes an ok fighter,but not a heavyweight,he looks worse at heavy and hasnt fought any one really good and hasnt made much noise while at heavyweight.
if this is a mandatory or "mandatory" and being forced on haye due to the top 3 ranked being unready/not possible for defending title agaisnt and they can choose out of top ten or whatever who to have the mandatory agaisnt,he should get adamek or arreola.im sure he could snatch adamek from wlad,their fight is not announced proper yet,and seems like haye wont demand and give stipulations like klitschkos do.
adamek has more skill and is bigger populairty wise. and arreola is a proper heavy with power,also with a new trainer he might become better and also lose fat.
if they can avoid a mandatory and fight the winner of solis-vitali in july,that would be the best option.
no b/s about vitali being old,and no ducking of solis if he beats vitali,which i highly doubt.
if not,choose the best out of top 10-15,adamek/arreola.then vitali in summer/autumn.
if Haye does retire this year,or at anytime without fighting one klitschko he will and should never live it down,if he didnt do absolutely everything to get a fight with one of them he should be damn ashamed and embaressed.
he should have been fighting 3 times a year if he had this retirment plan.
for me the only opponents worth him facing and worth us tuning in for would be:
Vitali
Wlad
Adamek
Povetkin
Arreola-possibly
maybe chambers
if he fights anyone else but those,with choice in fighting anyone else,then he should be boycotted and harrased for not stepping up the level of competition,especially if he is retiring early.
who after less than 30 fights,retires when they are still fast,powerful with full relfexes there. with out being in any wars,or not even being hit much with any powerful punches,being in a divsion where there are slow punchers and he is faster than anyone else!.
retire when goals are achieved,not when you turn a certain age.
only if you decline so much as you cannot achieve your goals,then retire.
he cannot live with quitting without facing a klitschko.
and he could if he wanted to hang on for 2 more years,fight klitschkos,and four top opponents in Big US,UK and worldwide venues in europe,africa or asia and bring excitment back to the sport,not frustration,disapointment and under achievement.
booth needs to sort his head out,and haye needs to think for himself,and fight for his legacy,not a fatter bank balance.Comment

I mean it's only logical right, Wlad "doesn't want to fight" and Vitali has a .000000001 percent chance of losing his next fight so lets rematch someone we beat at cruiser who's a completely shot heavyweight, that way we can put another "W" on our record without fighting anyone who matters.Comment
