    I'd be OK with all these 3 fights and would give Haye props.

    I just don't think it will be anyone in the poll.

      Helenius is a waste man, so I'd rather not that one tbh.
      Would the fight sell with it being a nobody? Haye isn't as big a draw as Hatton, but I'm pretty sure when they announced that, the opponent wasn't even confirmed and it still sold out.....

      I'd love to see Haye- Povetkin!

        Haye could fight you and sell out a stadium in the UK.

        That being said, odds are Povetkin, Pulev, Helenius.

        However, he's a business man first. If the rumours of Thompson-Price II is made, then we can rule him out. Charr has been calling him out for a while, and he looked alright against Vitali i guess. But that would be crap. Fury is fighting the IBF route, so it probably wont be him, but could be. Oquendo is a friend of his, wont be him either.

        My guesses are one of these: Fury, Povetkin, Pulev, Helenius, Adamek. Those are available in the summer.

        Update: Malik Scott perhaps?

          Adamek i think sounds reasonable. It's one guy "with a name" that David would feel comfortable against.

          I don't rate Adamek at heavyweight, so i would be slightly disappointed, but it's better than the bum route like vs. Audley.

              It will probably be Jonathon Banks.

                Thats exactly why he will fight Helenius. He looked terrible his last time out, got injured not long ago, doesnt have much pop, and Brits know him because of the Chisora robbery. He also is undefeated, has a pretty solid fanbase, can bring in some money, and is probably ranked by all sanctioning bodies. He is also tall, that could be a benefit for Haye too.

                I honestly don't even think Haye plans any spectacular comeback, I think he will come back for a couple BS fights to rob the fans of more money and then laugh as he runs off again to try and be a movie star.

                    LOL, that'd be one way for Haye to get a Klitschko in the ring.
