    Who should David Haye fight next?

    Lets say he stay healthy and fights in May/June 2016. Here's a list of top HW's

    Fury: Fighting Wlad in May
    Wlad: Fighting Fury in May
    Wilder: Should be fighting Povetkin in the summer
    Povetkin: Should be fighting Wilder in the summer
    Glazkov/Martin winner: Good chance if the winner is paid enough. I'd say Haye could beat either and will be the easiest way to get a belt.
    Ortiz: Too much risk for a low reward other than getting him a worse version of a paper belt
    Pulev: Possible? Ranked high and is a name still
    Joshua: Hearn won't put him in there with Haye in 2016
    Jennings: Ortiz already did the damage but is decently ranked
    Stiverne: Highly ranked and is a name. If he can do a better job than Wilder he'd look good.

    Who'd you pick next for David Haye?

      If he's really serious about fighting TOP guys, he should fight someone of their size first. Wach or Pulev would be my guess.

        I'd love to see him crush some dreams and fight AJ.

        Other than that, winner of Chisora/Helenius and Carlos Takam.

          He should step up, no point fighting another guy like De Mori. He could get the IBF winner and I don't rate Glazkov or Martin too highly so he'd be favorite. I doubt Hearn will risk his golden boy.

              a solid test like takam or pulev would be ideal.

                There is the list of guys ahead of him in the WBA

                He just beat the #10...

                14 SALOMON HAUMONO NZL
                15 KUBRAT PULEV BUL

                He could fight Fedosov & Briggs & be in line for a eliminator (otherwise known as interim champ) with Ustinov/Ortiz winner. Fedosov will be next or Haumono I predict to get the ring rust off...

                  I don't think there's any chance Hearn will put him in there with Haye. Also Joshua is fighting in April. I assume Haye would want to get back out there in May/June.

                    I would say Pulev or Takam. Both are top 10 heavyweights and he'll definitely get rounds in against them.
