Thread: Who should haye fight if its not the Klitschkos?

Its now looking like Vitali is going to fight Valuev, and Wlad has just fought so who should Haye fight to stay active?

My guess is chris arreola

My feeling is Haye is afraid to fight any HW so he will just sit it out and try to lure Wlad into the ring.

I will be truly shocked if Haye takes a fight within the next couple months.

I see him fighting either Kevin Johnson, Hasim Rahman or JD Chapman.

He was going to fight Chapman last year but Chapman was pissed as his promotional team agreed it. However he's calling Haye out now he's switched promotional outfit so its a possibility.

Rahman is shot but fought Wlad last December so he could call it a comparison fight.

Johnson is the riskiest fight of the 3 but has been protected and Haye may see holes in him.

Truth is, I see it as being somebody who isn't likely to beat Haye, because they're not going to want to hurt the position they have right now.

He should fight Arreola

Liakhovich.

He should get in with Arreola.I think Haye can out box him and stop him late aslong as Haye doesnt stick his chin out it could be an easy boxing lesson he dishes out imo.

I must agree Arreola would be the best match-up. I still don't think Haye deserves to move up the ladder that quickly but I'll give it to him.

Kevin Johnson would be the best move IMO. Before he would be critisced due to apparently little punching power but he's now on a 3 ko streak against decent boxers in Seldon and Vargas. This has showed a much more aggresive style which makes him more interesting to fans. However its a accumulation of blows, not just one. This would make him god for Haye, plus he's the best/second best US heavyweight (counting the Nightmare as Mexican) and is pretty well known. He needs a big name like Haye on his resume before he can be considered a Klitschko victim.

Just thought the winner of Dimentriko vs Chambers would be a great opponent. There probably on the fringes of a title shot and woulden't want to ruin there chances, but the undisputed (debatable) Cruiserweight champ and perceived heavyweight hope on there record would be great.

I'd say Povetkin, providing he isn't going to be wald's next opponent. If Haye doesn't get a shot at either Klitschko he needs to fight some one with a big reputation to make his case a stronger one. I don't think a win over arreola does that.

Don't see why not I think Haye could bash him up.

The next time Haye calls out someone, I just wish he would man up and be tottaly prepared for it.

After all this freakin build up and t shirts and shit talking if he doesn't fight a klitchko then who gives a crap what that loudmouth does. Mid-as-well start calling out floyd like everyone else.

Haye can talk the talk, but can't walk the walk.
