My point is simple fighting and beating these fighters is a yardstick to the potential Haye might or might not have. If he struggles against these fighters then he and everybody else will need to re-asses his position on the heavyweight scene. I have nothing but admiration for Haye and don't want him to look silly by going into a world title fight without some sort of test along the way. I don't think it will happen against Montee Barratte but by winning at least the European belt would give Haye some sort of credibility and bargaining power at heavyweight.
I did watch Williams lose at the weekend but fighting Danny would almost guarantee Haye the British title in quick fashion. If Haye has a realistic chance at any title he needs to win these sort of titles and prove his worth against fighters like Samil and Skelton.
It will end up Haye fighting for a title and getting his arse whooped and most would say he should of at least proved his worth against a European Champion. Unfortunately winning a cruiserweight title or two doesn't guarantee a successful straight shot at a Heavyweight title.
