    Good for him, its a good step to take at this stage.

    No point in getting a 10 rounder and putting a bum infront of him though. They'll have to get somebody with the possibility to hang in there.

    I disagree.

    And even if he does become European champ but then goes no further who are you to say that that "is ****"?

    Give the kid a break and opportunity to prove himself before slagging him off.

    I would like to see him in more fights like his last one, total shutouts without trying to go for the KO
    Potential opponent

    Philippe Mendy 5-13-2, never been KOd (got a draw against Belghecham)

    Groves-Salem will be very good fight early next year. Take Groves to win.
    Hayemaker's future totally depends on Haye's performance on November 7.
    If he knocks down Valuev Hayemaker will get tv deal.

    I reckon Groves would beat DeGale.

    I think Hayemaker should get a TV deal. Groves , Lindsay and Ryan Rhodes would all be exciting fighters for Sky to showcase or whoever takes the Hayemaker and add to that Haye himself. It is a shame that Setanta went tits up as Haye was building a top stable of fighters. I think Hayemaker will have a better chance of getting a tv deal ahead of Hennessy.

    There wouldnt be anywhere to go and With Sky having contracts With Warren (Olyimpians and other fighters + Khan on PPV), Maloney, Matchroom, Hatton where would the Hayemaker Stable fit in to the schedule?

    Of course there is room. You dont have to put them all on Friday night. Sky have 4 stations on the go not all will have live sport on it at all times. You could have either promotion on a Saturday night or even Sunday night **** it if the promotors were offered any night on Sky at this time they would take it. I remember Maloney had Sutherland's first fight on a Thursday night there is always room for all the promotions on Sky if they wanted to show them.:good

    how do you work that out? who should he be fighting in his 8th fight.

    this guy only looses to people with winning records. The only person to stop him in Victor Oganov who is a beat of a puncher.
