I can't wait to see how he performs against Barrett.

He will probably KO him quick and people will piss and moan that he beat a shit fighter, as fucking usual.

...and that would be the wrong conclusion to jump to??? He IS fighting Monte Barrett

Yeah I'd say beating Barret for Haye equates to about what it meant for Floyd Mayweather to beat Sharmba Mitchell at a new weight.

Sod all in other words. So give him a bigger fish to fry

Exactly, I think the only decent sized fish out there to fry is Wlad.

David Haye needs to fight someone either similar in style or similar in stature to Wladimir for us to really see what he has. With Haye taking such a tiny first step it shows he and/or his handlers are worried about how he will perform at heavyweight

Just playing the devil's advocate:

It could also mean that other, more popular/highly rated HW's think Haye is too much of a risk with too little a reward to take a fight with before he establishes himself at HW.

.....sure it COULD be the case but I am sure plenty of guys would LOVE to spark out Haye if given the chance to revive their careers.
