David Haye vs Chris Arreola (On Canelo vs Khan undercard?) - Who Wins?

That's true. But if the opponent is the same level as the last one, and he stops Arreola early, there's no reason Haye couldn't still make the date 2 weeks later, barring an injury or cut. It's unconventional and risky but not impossible.Haye has already booked the o2 arena again for May.
He sold out a 20,000 arena against De Mori and is going to sell it out again a few months later, without even naming the opponent...He's not fighting on any undercard.
David Haye is probably still the biggest draw in British boxing. As for Arreola, Haye batters him.
Chisora just fought 3 low level opponents in about a one month span for example. Dec 5th, Dec 12th, Jan 9th, and he stopped them all.
Alternatively, he could just reschedule the O2 event to a later date, I don't think he'll even lose the booking fee because there's still plenty of time to do it.Comment

I'd certainly like to see him more active, but his body won't allow it at this stage.That's true.

McGuigan is already having to alter the training and recovery methods to prevent injury. His joints are apparently struggling to support his weight and punching style.Comment

Depends how high Chris is entering the ring. If he's really stoned, I don't give him a chance, the Hayemaker will take him out.Comment

Ordinarily not. But in this case it would be beneficial due to the global exposure that the big event is looking to achieve, and the chance for Haye to take a tune up in the USA to practise acclimatizing to the environment for potential title fights with Wilder and Martin in the future.
Plus it means that the promotion would largely be taken care of already, because it's not a Hayemaker Promotions show, which means less work on the promotional front for this one fight.Comment

What you're talking here is fairytales and delusions.He might take a pay cut, but I think the acclimatization experience is really very important for Haye to get right because he potentially has two massive title fights on US soil lined up in the future. Putting short term financial gain aside - it would be in his best interest to take what might be considered a tune up bout in the USA just so he can understand the procedure of acclimatization fully before those potential match ups down the line against Wilder and Martin.
And this fight would be on the undercard or co-main of a massive fight already so he'll instantly be back on the world stage, probably with much more global exposure than fighting a low level opponent at the o2.
Plus it should be a hell of an entertaining fight for the fans and if Haye can dispatch of Arreola in spectacular fashion - let's say quicker than Stiverne did in the rematch, he may well land himself the Wilder fight straight away. Or the Martin fight. So that's 3 and a half years out of the ring, 2 fights done, world title fight next. Not a bad route to the title which is Haye's ultimate ambition.
Haye isn't fighting on Khan's undercard. Just get the idea out your head it's not going to happen.Comment
