Haye was 'up for' Klitschko fight in December

[El Kabong]

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.
