What's next for Haye

[TitoFan]

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.

OK.. Arreola and Chambers are better than Audley, for sure.

But Arreola's best win is against a man that lost to a Haye victim. He's never beat anyone better than Haye has.

Adamek has recently been fighting Kevin McBride (who couldn't even win a British Prizefighter) Michael Grant and Vinny Maddalone.

Considering they both lost to Vitali, I don't see how they're more deserving than Haye for a Klit fight. I would much rather see Haye fight Adamek or Arreola than Vitali anyway.

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.

What's next for Haye? Hopefully retirement.

Please correct that before I continue reading? Thanks.

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

You're right. It's much more correct now...... thank you.

Since the Chisora fight, the Brit public which makes up 90% of his fanboy base, seem to be in love with Haye again. There's not much doubt that they'll be willing now to shell out big PPV quid for Haye vs. Vitali. I bet this fight gets made in the next month or so.

I'm sure Steve Bunce had to take a cold shower after watching the fight. David Haye is STILL a punk and he STILL has little hope of beating either Klitschko brother
