Haye vs Rahman?

[Youngblood]

If he can get a good HW fight or 2 under his belt against solid competitors, I'll promise to get off his back for his antics. I may even chase down Wlad myself if it happens to urge the fight on. I just really want to see this division get put back on the map for the mainstream audience. It's been a while...

I agree

though i honestly dont believe that someone who claims he only has 2-3 years left in the sport is wise wasting 4-5months for a british title fight.

Id get him over to america right away and not let him come back until he is a proven world champion.

Start him off with a name he can put on to his cv just to forward advance his career that extra bit, an andrew golota perhaps just to show the US audience a bit of what they can expect and progress haye into the division.

To fulfil his ultimate goals in the division haye has to be fighting 3 times a year solid for the remainder of his career

Yes, I agree he does have to move fast and fight good people. With the weight thrown in this divisions punches, you don't want to be catching too many of them in the melon for too long, and in too many fights in a year if you don't have to...

also though, I don't put a lot of credit into Haye's words regarding the 2-3 year thingy. He may mean it, but I cannot see a fighter who if they get to the pinnacle of the boxing world, being able to walk away and stop fighting when they could be in their prime, for both pride and money reasons.
