David Haye back to his old tricks, flying out to Hamburg to confront Wlad again.

Haye is great for that division and whoever he fights you can be sure that 99% of this forum will watch weather they like him or not.

Thats good for the sport.

Wladimir has two fights already set up with Thompson and then Povetkin, Haye needs to keep busy and beat a top 10 ranking Heavyweight to at least have more bargaining power. I like Haye and would love to see Haye vs Wlad, but as Wlad said to Haye's face. Get in the ring and do your job, and for the time being while Wlad's busy thats what he needs to do.

Like you say wlad has 2 fights lined up. So how about his for a plan? Haye i think has been ranked as no5 by the WBC, Sam Peter is the champ there, so why not go for Dimitrenko (no4) who he should beat from what I witnessed when he fought Julius Francis. That (providing he does perform) should give him a platform to attack Peter the way he is Wlad now. And should he somehow sneak a fight with Peter before Vitali Klitschko does and beats him that would leave him in perfect position to go for the Klitschko family. I honestly can't see Vitali being the man he once was when (and if) he comes back and I see a win for Haye here if that is the case. And then finally he could go for Wlad in a unification fight for 3 of the 4 major belts (If you call WBO major) with the winner fighting the eventual WBA champ when all that mess is sorted out. I know this is a long shot but if the right people want to make it happen its very possible and we can once again have an "undisputed" heavyweight champ.

I agree with the general vibe in this thread that Haye should have a few fights to earn his shot. I honestly dont know if Haye can beat Wlad or not, but i think a couple of warm up bouts could reveal if he has the goods or not.

Sure a fight between the two would boost interest in the HW division, if it is competitive.

But what happens if there is massive hype, and Haye is billed as the saviour, of the division millions of PPV's are sold and a big stadium is packed out. Then Wladdy blasts him out in 1? Or even worse he jabs Hayes pretty face all night for a boring decision win? The division would be more stuffed than it was before, and we would be back where we started!
