Who will fight Haye - it doesn't matter - they are getting KTFO.

Holyfield had one or 2 easy fights when he stepped upto Heavy and Haye probably will aswell - cos people apart from old fogies looking for a last payday won't fight him.

Herbie Hide is an option if they need a name.
Alright then let's make a list of NON-American heavyweights that don't have padded records, and I'm talking current fighters.
Touche, greg.

Have the Americans got to rely on European Heavyweights being decent?

We can look through history and the vast majority is dominated by US Heavy's - those were the days. Now we got Robotic Ukrainians and from the US umm Brian Minto? Derrick Rossy? Vinny Maddalone?

Where are the US Heavys. I started a topic on here wayback regarding the current state of US Heavys called "Why are US Heavys so poor?"
I got many answers and was told Brock or Thompson was the next man - that was wrong, people even still talk about Oliver McCall.

Chapman seems to have chickened out, Johnson is acting dumb, turns down the money - wants more then mouths off.

The only US fighter wanting to go is Ray Mercer. Thats a mess.

I accept that a few decent contenders albeit from europe are tied up. But what excuse do Johnson, Arreola or Chapman have? A career high payday.
