    What should Haye do next?

    First of all, I give Wlad credit for last night. He was just too big, and impressed me more then he has in most of his fights. I thought he would win, but David put up less of a fight then I anticipated, maybe partly because of the toe - who knows. I don't think it was the deciding factor though.

    However, I didn't see it as a domination really, according to compubox Haye even landed more power punches, but obviously way less jabs. Wlad definitely won most of the rounds, but pretty much every round in the fight was somewhat close IMO.

    So, what do you think Haye should do next?

    Fight Vitali? - He might aswell, nothing to loose but much to gain.

    Fight a top5/10 HW not named Klitschko? - I'd still probably favor Haye against every HW other then the Klitschkos. Question is though, would it generate enough money after this? And would it be worth it?

    Go back to CW? - Let's face it, it's where he belongs. Even after 2-3 years at HW he would still make weight no problem. For this to really mean something he would have to unify the titles again though, and that would take years and he would fight for smaller purses in the meantime.

    Retire? - He said he would, and had he won I would've thought it was the right move. Now, I'm not so sure.

      He need to take all the money he earned and retire. After all, isnt that what this was all about? He talked all that ish to hype the fight and make it a big pay-day knowing he wouldn't win!

        What he should have been doing in the first place. Get a good trainer, fight other top guys and work his way up to the Klitschkos.

          Whatever HE wants to do.

          I'm sure he doesn't care what the fans think too much, his friends, family, colleagues wont care at all about that loss, it makes no difference whatsoever to his personal life.

          He wants to retire, let hime, he wants to fight on, let him.

          It's his life, he can do what he wants to with it

              This goes without saying. I'm asking what YOU think he should do.

                I cant really give a valid answer mate because I don't know his personal circumstances or if he still wants to do it, know what i mean?

                In my opinion i reckon he should take a few months off, maybe look at the Fury/Chisora winner, that would be a nice little earner and a nice way to come back, and then go after a top 10 like Areolla or Helenius, after that he's back in the mix.

                but i'd only advise that if the hunger is still there, if not then walk away and concentrate on other stuff

                  Haye said in early 2008 he was "killing himself" to make cruiserweight.

                  If he drains down below 200 now, he'll lose power.

                  Haye is about the same size as Muhammed Ali, who fought below 200 in his early 20s but was above 200 in his late 20s and 30s.
