What's next for Haye

[TitoFan]

If the Klits will fight mormeck, thompson and Chisora they'll fight Haye.

Whether he deserves it or not the klits have shown they don't mind obliging undeserving opponents.

For the last time Thompson was a MANDATORY.

I expect Haye to "retire" again and resume his true love of talking shit on tv.

Wlad had no trouble with Haye last time and he would have no trouble fighting Haye in a rematch and mind you that Wlad has stopped 100% of the fighters he has rematched. Now Haye might want to fight Vitali, but I'm not sure that happens because Vitali will retire.

Do we need any further proof that the division is in the shits?
Do they pick mandatories by shooting at a dart board full of names?

Haye doesn't have to prove anything, he's a former heavyweight "world" champ and he just annihilated a man Vitali struggled with over 12 rounds. Plus he brings all the money (most important bit) and hype.

Personally I'd rather see Haye fight Arreola or Adamek.

Not sure what post that was referring to
But you need to control that reflex action.

The previous post was ridiculing the IBF for making Tony Thompson a "mandatory."
The post before that says yeah good job in beating Chisora, but there's probably a couple more deserving HW's for a shot at a Klitschko right now.

And yeah... Haye should fight an Arreola or Adamek first. Work his way toward another fight with a Klitschko. Those shots should be earned. The Klits aren't getting any younger.

Who is more deserving than Haye?

(not that it even matters, Haye is the money)

[TitoFan]

Arreola and Adamek are both more deserving for a shot. But why doesn't Haye get himself invited to the elimination tournament the IBF is pushing?

[Freedom]

Haye should first fight a prime contender like Povetkin, Pulev or Solis and then go for a rematch with Wlad.

[TitoFan]

He had his chance with Wlad. But if he beats a credible HW opponent, he could earn a shot at Vitali.

[Rantcatrat]

Povetkin, Adamek, Arreola, Pulev, Mitchell, someone on that level.

Why are Arreola and Adamek more deserving? They've both already been stopped by Vitali. Both have never won a "world" title.

In fact, who the hell have they beat at heavyweight that puts them in front of Haye? Audley Harrison is about the level of their best wins.

Adamek's wins over Arreola and Chambers are MUCH better than Audley Harrison. Really? Frankly, Arreola and Chambers stand equal to, or better than, any win on Haye's heavyweight record.

However, with all the said, Vitali already starched Adamek, and Wladimir would hurt him badly. Like Haye, I have more interest in seeing new faces challenge the Klitschkos because Adamek and Arreola had their shot, and came up far short. I wouldn't mind seeing Haye, Adamek, and Arreola against the other top-ten fighters, like Povetkin, Pulev, Boystov, Mitchell, Jennings, each other, or Price even. It would be testament to them if they cleaned out the division, other than the Klitschkos, prior to getting another shot at the Klitschkos.

Yes... and Haye was stopped by Wlad. What's your point?

My point is, Arreola and Adamek have been heavies a lot longer than Haye, who waltzed in and fought: "Circus Man" Valuev, John Ruiz (no explanations needed), and Audley Harrison (ditto). Somehow, that "warranted" a shot at Wlad, one that he proceeded to throw in the garbage can with his lack of effort.

Arreola and Adamek are proven quantities that would actually fight Wlad, not run for 12 rounds and blame their big toe or something ridiculous like that. Arreola has quality wins against people like Chazz Witherspoon (23-0 at the time), and Jameel McCline. Adamek beat Arreola, plus Michael Grant and Eddie Chambers. In other words, they've paid their dues. Haye (and you) thinks that his mouth alone warrants him shots at world titles at heavyweight. He's wrong.

But this is all academic. Reports are that Arreola will get the next shot at Wlad, who Haye doesn't want to see anyway. Haye's only hope of getting a Klitschko is somehow landing a fight with Vitali.... and that's hoping the public gets a collective case of amnesia and forgets what happened the last time Haye stepped into a ring with a Klitschko.
