David Haye to announce next HW opponent tomorrow at O2 Arena

[Kev]

I met Haye today and asked him myself. He said they are close to reaching a deal with Rahman or Maskaev.

Well if he wanted an opponent to look good and fast against he's chosen right.

I think he'll beat Rahman, he's a fat bloated mess these days who couldn't even beat Zuri Lawrence convincingly.

At least Maskaev still has some passion and will test Haye.

I'd like to see the Maskaev fight actually, I really think Oleg could knock Haye out in the middle rounds. Of course I would love to see this, being a sad, petty, jealous pale little man who hates everything David Haye, with his buff body, confidence, charisma, and playboy lifestyle represents.

His whole Heavyweight careeer rests on his chin and if it can take a shot from a full blown Heavy!!
Rahman may be fat but he can bang and haye needs to get ready for what is coming his way!
This could well be over before it begains, hope i'm wrong but we'll see soon enough!

Kali Meehan Number 1 choice in my opinion...will be blown away in quick fashion

Hasim Rahman, Maybe a good choice.....ex champ would look good on record...but at what risk

James Toney, bad opponent and this could be a ugly win if it was made

Monte Barrett, maybe a live opponent and big risk for little reward


Job Biscuit (Meehan would be my choice out of these)!!!


eh eh!!

[GAME]

So whos the odds on then ?

Out of that list I hope its Rahman. Toney would be my last pick cuz even at this stage he still has teh ability to mess Haye around and make him look bad . If David wants to make an emphatic statment then he needs someone with a glass jaw and whos well known . Rahman fits that criteria

Meehan has been blasted away by Danny Williams in a round so Haye cant better than . Maskaev is pretty rough and Haye doesnt wana wrestling match . Barret isnt a former champ so I think Rahman is defo the one to go for and I think Haye wins that pretty easily in spectacular fashion .

IMO Barrett would be te one, i think Haye could spark him, hes been knocked out before and i think it would be a good fight.

[kingfrnk]

it will probably be somebody he can beat badly so it can lead and hype up to a waldimir fight

[Master]

Rahman/Maskaev are good first opponents that Haye could test himself save in the knowledge he could stop them where necessary.

Barret would make and ideal second opponent.

I still think Jameel McCline is the perfect choice. He's a big guy, he's not a consistent puncher (he didn't bother Wlad but he really hurt Sam Peter), he's got a decent defense, and he has fought the top level heavyweights so Haye could then compare how he does to those guys.


I won't complain about Rahman or Maskaev....good solid choices there.
