British board likely to refuse the Chagaev fight

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

So is this official? I've never liked Haye's chances against someone as potentially cagey as Chagaev. But then I never saw his last fight..?

This is a blessing. After watching Chagaev in his last fight, he would get absolutely pummeled by Haye worse than Ruiz got it.

Echoing Drago, a fight against either Klit is the only way to go. Sam peter is done, Arreola is Grotesquely out of shape, Chambers is a fat cruiserweight, Povetkin will never be ready and I can't be bothered even thinking about anyone else. I wouldn't mind seeing Haye Adamek as the only possible substitute fight around.

I echo those sentiments as well. Really, if it isn't a Klitschko, Adamek is the only way to go. Solis is the other contender I'd consider, but as he's just agreed to fight Vitali that is out of the question. Wouldn't be stunned if the Valuev rematch happened now.

Its truly the only way. The whole heavyweight thing for me just makes boxing look horrible, it really does. Haye, The Klits and Adamek are the only true athletes at heavyweight. Nearly all the other guys make it into a heavyweight category through either being out of shape or plain fat (or ludicrously tall like Valuev). If Valuev was 6 - 8 inches smaller allround he would get totally iced at heavyweight. Hell, even Solis manages to weigh in huge realted to his height. I reckon he'd be classed as obese on a BMI. He'll get smashed by Vitali.

If he really is not going to have anything to do with the Klits he should just retire now.

Yeno, if Haye is smart, he should offer Adamek more money to take a fight in June, that way, he really would put Wlad in a corner. Adamek would take more money to fight Haye IMO.

It's all getting a bit silly now.... even Tarvers jumped in an called out Haye

No wonder Haye wants to retire - really, who is there that's worth fighting? None of that lot make an exciting fight. Bums, the lot of them!

Even in the 90s we had the Trio of Holyfield, Bowe and Lewis with characters like Mercer, Morrison, Hide and McCall (not forgetting Foreman's comeback win v Moorer) but these days there aren't any challengers to the 2 robot brothers - where did it all go wrong?

yeah i can see it to....they'll build Rahman up.......the former linea heavyweight champion of the world who knocked lennox lewis out with a single shot, he's been in there with the best including Holyfield, ( all of a sudden they'll say he pushed Wlad all the way until he got caught with a lucky punch) Rahmans a top tier fighter the last 10 years etc etc etc.....thats what they do, B.S everyone to give it the build up you'd get if a prime tyson was fighting a prime holyfield

[El Kabong]

If I was managing the guy this is what I would do. There are 2 routes he could go by.

#1 Actually test himself as a heavyweight (in no order): Povetkin, Sam Peter, Tomaz Adamek, Eddie Chambers, Cris Arreola, Holyfield, Pianetta, Boytsov

#2 Another easy fight (in no order): Dimitrenko, Krasniqi, Dominick Guinn, Timur Ibragimov, Hasim Rahman, Valuev II, Sergei Lyakhovich, James Toney, Mormeck II, Tarver, Roy Jones Jr. (Sad to say it)
