Haye was 'up for' Klitschko fight in December

[Pugilistic]

Haye should focus on other things before thinking of Wlad.

I can't wait to see how he performs against Barrett.

James Toney shook up the heavyweights and he was a cruiserweight. Roy Jones did it from 175. What does listing cruiserweights have to do with it? I'm with Mar, I'm RETAKING my initial stance before the Thompson fight was ever announced, LET THEM FIGHT. It would be a giant gift to the boxing world if that could happen and everyone would shut up on Haye or go whoa, that just shook up everything. It's just pointless to let this carry on, they want to fight now, put an end to this nonsense and fight now. Is anyone actually excited to see Monte Barret? Lost your minds.

Yeah I'd say beating Barret for Haye equates to about what it meant for Floyd Mayweather to beat Sharmba Mitchell at a new weight.

Sod all in other words. So give him a bigger fish to fry

Exactly, I think the only decent sized fish out there to fry is Wlad.

David Haye needs to fight someone either similar in style or similar in stature to Wladimir for us to really see what he has. With Haye taking such a tiny first step it shows he and/or his handlers are worried about how he will perform at heavyweight

Just playing the devil's advocate:

It could also mean that other, more popular/highly rated HW's think Haye is too much of a risk with too little a reward to take a fight with before he establishes himself at HW.

He will probably KO him quick and people will piss and moan that he beat a shit fighter, as fucking usual.

...and that would be the wrong conclusion to jump to He IS fighting Monte Barrett
