Seem Haye seem to be struggling to find a decent HW to fight he could do a lot worse than Skelton who has fought a few of top 15 rated blokes and has never been stopped.
He also gave a good acount of him self in his wba title fight which was a lot closer than most expected and his name is recognisable to boxing insiders.
Like i said Haye could fight a lot worse fighters than Skelton.At least with him we know what we are getting.
Wouldnt surprise me if it turns out to be Michael Sprott
don't think Skelton would be a good fight for him, I could see him taking Hayes power and wearing him down by clinching and leaning on him then possibly stopping him late on

yeah it could do but I just can't see Haye(or anyone) looking good against Skelton, I think he should take the Johnson fight, hard fight but he'll get more credit than he would for beating SkeltonQuote:

You only fight Matt Skelton if you have to or he has a title you want.
None of those apply to Haye, best left alone.

I know is is a mauler and a brawler but if haye did well againt him then we knew he is for real.
Nobody else want to fight haye?
Skelton is a 40 yr old one dimensional bum who when every time steps up in class fails to deliver. He has no skill whatsoever and just brawles making him so boring to watch. Also he is ranked outside the top 15 in all the major organizations.
Why would Haye want to fight him on the above ?
Well Skelton fought for the wba belt not long ago and did quite well.Quote:

If Haye can't get credit beating a guy inside the top 15 already (Bonin) then what makes you think he'll get credit with this fight ?Quote:

Skelton is hardly a world beater but comparing him to Bonin is damn right disrespectful.
What Skelton does bring for Haye is a comparison to the Chagaev performance as well
as a physicality he'll have to get used to in this division without a danger of being KO'd. Also Skelton will fucking turn up.

Just coz the wbc rate him at number 11 or 12 that dos not mean that he is really that good it just means the wbc are corrupt.Which of course they are.
Skelton is a know fighter who has fought for a world belt(wba) which is a lot more than Bonin has.
The WBC is the most prestigious organization out there. And I'd rather have Bonin on my record than Skelton. Skelton is a joke.Quote:

Skelton doesn't deserve to carry Haye's spit bucket, nevermind be in the opposote ring corner. He only made the Chagaev fight a little competitive due to his size. Name me one good shot Skelton landed in that fight ?
Your just mad cuz your fellow countrymen Enzo Macc got destroyed by The Hayemaker :LOLATYOU:
They are also most corrupt and almost went bankrupt because of it.Quote:

Bonin also lost to Audley Harrison so he is not exactly a world beater is he.:p
