Exactly mate and you know I am a million miles away from being a fan of David Haye.

But he IS what the heavyweight divisions needs, an exciting puncher, with a proven curiserweight championship record, arguably the best since Holyfield himself, a physique that actually looks like it belongs to a heavyweight world boxing champion, rather than Arreola's which looks like he's the world pie eating champ and he's a huge ticket seller in the UK.

Haye could easily pack 50,000 into Wembly Stadium in the UK, how many can Arreola get?

Chagaev and Povetkin are definitely worth title shots, or in Chagaevs case a unification shot but I'd imagine Chagaev would rather avoid the Klits than fight them and instead go for a rematch with Valuev and Povetkin has only had 16 professional fights so would probably benefit from a little more experience and waiting an extra 6 months or so.
