Yes there are MANY contenders given the lack of big time fights being made due to DK's fighters being protected...and yeah it's JUST Don King's fighters being protected hell look at their next match ups and you'll see the guys with tougher more dangerous fights aren't Don King fighters.

Wlad is the only heavyweight legitmatly trying to prove himself

Rahman seems to want the big fights too Maskaev is older but still considering what he did to him last time it's a good fight

Valuev and Lyahkovich are fighting BUMS and that won't change


Haye might be able to survive vs the smaller guys but I don't see anything special in him at cruiser much less heavyweight...I mean if stamina is an issue at less than 200 then it'll grow as he does
