Virchis would be another good choice
The thing is theres a lot of interesting choices there for Haye & I hope he takes on a solid opponent... no someone like a Mcbride, Guinn or Harrison
The Best There Is, The Best There Was, The Best There Ever Will Be
I go for Ruiz. Ruiz taking out an impressive up and comer will put him right back into the running.
I am telling you guys something, everyone talks shit on the HW division, but it is a helluva lot easier talking about it than actually doing it.
"If there's a better chin in the world than Pryor's, it has to be on Mount Rushmore." -Pat Putnam.
I don't care for Ruiz (who does?) and would rather just see Haye - Wlad to get the formalities over with because that's the fight that should happen and I think will happen at some point.
I don't think he should babystep his way to the title, he's got all the momentum in the world on his side, put him in a big fight and see how he reacts to that. Ruiz, Golota or any of those other guys is just a waste of time at this point. A win over them means nothing and the way boxers get off fighting twice a year these days, I'd rather see him aim high then start at the fringes.
Maybe not Wlad right away but someone like Chagaev or even Sultan would be nice. Could you imagine how big a Wlad - Haye fight would be if Haye sparked Sultan quickly (which I think he would) after Wlad's paddy cake victory a couple weeks ago?

I agree with what your saying but a Wlad/ Haye fight would be bigger if Haye can make a name for himself in the division... beating a Golota after his last stirring appearance or a name like Holyfield just builds things up. Sparking Imbragimov would also do the trick!!! I think he should stay clear of Chagaev

I agree.. I think you guys are getting carried away talking about a Haye/Klit fight.. Klitschko seems to want all the belts, so he's only going to fight guys with the belts until he accomplishes that.. Although Haye has a ton of skill, he doesn't deserve a Wlad fight just yet.. He'll need to make a name for himself.. I think he'd take Ibragimov out, and considering Sultan has only lost to Klit, it would be a decent HW on his record if he beats him..
Either way, i think Haye has what it takes to beat Wlad, but Wlad won't risk getting hit and i see Wlad taking this one.. but Wlad's a big boring baby, and i'd love to see someone beat him.
He should take baby steps to the title he's a cruiserweight moving up, throw him in with Wladimer and he'll be beaten and then be in heavyweight limbo for another few years not getting a shot. Stop trying to rush someone into a big fight situation because he just had a big one. It doesn't work that way and shouldnt. Let him beat some good ranked heavyweights first. I dont like the way that things are starting to turn in boxing with who gets shots..
But you really think he should start with Ruiz? What would that prove? And the fact is Ruiz would probably drag Haye to a decision because that's what Ruiz does best.
Same thing with Tua. He would be beating the shell of a former world title challenger. Maybe if Tua does a little bit more but as of right now the fight would be just a waste of time and nothing more then a formality. Wouldn't prove anything more then a win over Tomas Bonin already has.
I wouldn't like him to fight Holyfield but that's just because that's a default answer. I don't think Holyfield should be fighting at all and I would have to eat light before watching that. Golota might not be bad because of the reason already listed, because he can make things tough as a fight goes on.
Still, I would rather him fight someone at least in the top 10. Or maybe James Toney?
