British board likely to refuse the Chagaev fight

[NUCLEAR BULL]

ibragimov or rahman is possible the best picks here lol....what a line-up

[Tam Seddon]

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.

even with arreloa being overweight it wont matter cos at least he will come to fight Haye and actually test him. I want to see him fight arreola because it brings a bit more excitment to the ring. I would love an adamek fight but hes fighting vitali, so thats going to be the end of adamek IMO

ibragimov or rahman is possible the best picks here lol....what a line-up

Not even the good Ibragimov. It'll be Rahman I tell ya.

[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)

O_o No god not them two. Sosnowski beat Pianetta (no matter how the judges saw it, Albert dominated the Italian kid) and Holyfield would back up the idea that Haye only fights old men.

[El Kabong]

Yes but Sosnowski is a different style fighter and styles make fights. I think a big southpaw with decent power is usually a tough ask for anyone.

Holyfield is still durable and still has great work ethic.

Sosnowski wouldn't be a horrible choice either. Good durable fighter.

I personally want to see the guy fight a durable fighter with good power just to see what happens and how he copes.

Pianetta really isn't very good, IMO and it's not a fight that would do anything for Haye.

Holyfield is a terrible choice old, and shot beyond ****

Sosnowski...the same guy who Vitali got slated for? (I like Albert and think he's a decent hard worker, but just got no)

Thompson would be a decent choice imo (even if he is old he's tough and talented) but was a sparring partner, Ustinov could be interesting...if it wasn't for the fact he's slower than a shed.

[El Kabong]

Solis or Adamek would have been the best choices outside the Klitchko's of course.

Thompson won't happen, Ustinov is a K2 fighter so you have to reckon if he refuses to fight Wlad or Vitali he'll refuse to fight Ustinov.

Sam Peter is still a good fight IMO, he's got power, a good chin, and he can box a bit.

Eddie Chambers wouldn't be horrible.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Eddie Chambers is a bloody good fighter. More than just a 'fat' cruiserweight' anyway...

[No Contest]

Eddie Chambers is a bloody good fighter. More than just a 'fat' cruiserweight' anyway...

Yeah but he puts in cowardlike performances once he gets hit hard. He just starts blocking and holding, doesnt even try to go offensive.

To be honest, I'd like his chances against Haye.

[El Kabong]

Chambers has quick hands and underrated power but he's slow afoot and he'd get circles run around him.

knowing him the way we all do he'll go for the easy option everytime

[NUCLEAR BULL]

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

Apologies for that one Boogie....... It was just simply a reference to is condition. He's a good boxer, I agree, but if he was actually in great condition, he would be a cruiserweight. He always looks fat IMO.
