What should David Haye do?

This is David Haye :
Height: 6'3"
Weight v Barrett: 215lbs
Reach: 78"


He is fighting (apparently):

Vitali Klitschko
Height: 6' 7 1/2"
Weight v Peter: 247lbs
Reach: 80"


His only experiences at fighting at heavyweight are:

Tomasz Bonin
Height: 6'1"
Weight v Haye: 231lbs

and

Monte Barrett
Height: 6'3"
Weight v Haye: 226lbs
Reach: 78"



Should Haye really be fighting Klitschko now, or would he be better gaining some sort of experience against a man that sort of size?

Someone like:

Michael Grant
Height: 6'7"
Weight in last fight: 265lbs
Reach: 86"

or

Tony Thompson
Height: 6'5"
Weight v Wlad: 247 1/2lbs
Reach: 81 1/2"



I think Haye has the talent and the skills to trouble a Klitschko, but right now he has absolutely zero experience of fighting someone that size. I think he is making a mistake rushing into this.

Thoughts/opinions?

:bbb

 

Probably be best if he retired...

 

He'll learn **** all fighting Thompson. I reckon Haye would have him early doors but maybe a fight against another prospect or two (Johnson) just so he's earned the right to Vitali.

However, that wont happen and fair play to him for going after the big fish. It'll either be embarassing for Haye or spectacularly successful for Haye.

 

Yet another repeat thread snatched from other posters, if you want opinions, go scrolll through the host of other threads like this you idiot.

God no wonder you have over 5000 posts since June, it may be better that you leave the computer for a day?

 

Thompson would wreck Haye and on top of that he's a southpaw. He's tall and reachy but he's not the kind of guy that would prepare Haye for Vitali, unless by "prepare" you mean "tenderize and marinate".

 

He would do good to get any kind of experience fighting at HW IMO

 

The only reason no-one ever replicates your threads is because they are ****ing ****!!!!

 

What's the closest resemblance of a fighter Vitali faced that fights like Haye? IYO

 

If only it were that easy.

 

the obvious answer is he will bring in tall /stand up sparring partners.

 

i think even though hes old and way past his best sparring with lennox will be a great deal of help!

 

English Tool Bag is quickly becoming the biggest ******* around!!


I think Haye has a better shot against Wlad but he has the skills to do some damage soon no matter who he fights.

 

Almost a coherent sentence.... sobering up a tad are we?

 

I'm amazed you'd show up on here, after ''Bad Chad'' made a mockery of the sport by agreeing to wheel out the plodding heavy bag that is Tarver.

 

That is nothing like gaining the experience of beating them in a real fight though. If it was that easy, why bother fighting Bonin and Barrett?
