Haye is pretty much universally considered a joke.
you might as ell have typed that Vitali will be know for ducking Marco Huck unless he fights him before retirement.
There is an established history between Haye and Vitali. Haye was asked to beat Chisora by Vitali and Boente - if he was successful, Vitali said (live on camera) that he would fight him. As soon as Haye knocked out Chisora (something Vitali couldn't do) the Klitschko camp have been avoiding Haye.
You can try and skirt around the issue, but at the end of the day you can't deny the facts. Just go and watch the post-fight conference of Vitali-Chisora - it's there for the world to see.

Now that Vitali has looked faded at age 41 in his past two fights, Haye wants a piece of him.
If you can't see what's wrong with that, you're not really a boxing fan. The equivalent would be Mike Tyson calling out Muhammed Ali when Ali was in his 40s.
Haye is a fraud and Vitali beating him at age 41 or 42 does NOTHING for his legacy.

A great ambassador for the sport and for his country. A true gentleman outside the ring and a true badass between the ropes.
My favourite heavyweight of this generation.

That action will historically hang over his career unless he faces Haye.
And Vitali still has a huge size advantage over Haye, he may well beat him even though Haye looked much better against Chisora than Vitali did. Styles make fights after all.

I see Sam Peter is ranked the #151 all-time HW by the BoxRec computer.

When you consider some of the fighters who are in the top 150, I'd agree.
