    I heard the other day that Haye is more or less a done deal to fight UFC towards end of the year....?

    Yet another boxer with a dwindling bank balance looking for quick ppv money...

    i said months ago Amir Khan would end up in UFC too for same reasons....Khans slogan could be Amir 'a chin for hire' Khan

    Let Haye go, hes an irrelevant loud mouth cocky arrogant so and so. Fact is hes half the man he was but is in denial, only in this game for the money, no wonder he went into the jungle.

    This.

    I actually argued with a lot of people on this forum tooth and nail before the Bellew fight that Haye was just never that good at HW.

    He will get absolutely savaged, he really hasn't got that in him, his body is failing in the ring so forget the octagon.

    He is being lined up to fight UFC fighter Jimi Manuwa in a boxing match not MMA

    I doubt it. One decent win at HW and Haye is back into the title picture. I'm a Haye fan but if he does go down the sideshow route and arranges a fight with an MMA fighter in boxing or MMA I will criticise it. He still has a lot to offer boxing IMO and I'd still put money on him becoming a world champion again.

    1 decent win at HW will be his first decent win at HW ...it is not happening mate

    i will gladly bet you he does NOT become a world champion 'again' ..i say again loosely because it was a joke wasnt it?...although saying that,Shannon Briggs is fighting for a title soon i am sure Haye would fancy a fight with him .

    Can't see it. He's like a high mileage Ferrari with poor service history

    If Shannon Briggs wins (which he will), the biggest grossing fight for him would be someone like Haye or Bellew. If it turns out to be Haye, then he could in fact end up a world champion. There's lots of ifs and buts though.

    Briggs is still a dangerous fighter even at his age.
