    Simple question

    With V+W tied up with Sosnowski and Povetkin, who will Haye look too in October

    so just throw names in.

    1) Sam Peter: no fights planned, won an eliminator recently, chomping at the bit for another shot at the Klits, but they are uninterested, a high risk fight for Haye, but is the kind of person that Haye can hype up and sell the fight easier than other contenders, unranked by WBA

    2) Chagaev/Meehan: winner becomes the mandatory, neither pose much of a threat to Haye, early KO predicted

    3) Valuev II: NO!

    Rematch with that fat **** Solis might be interesting, get a bit of revenge.

    I like the look of a Chagaev fight though, think that would be interesting.

    Chagaev wouldn't pose much of a threat?? Want to elaborate on that more?

    Anyway a fight against the winner of that fight would be a good one. Or else I could see them having him facing another American fighter, try to build him up a little bit over there. A fight against Chambers or the winner of Arreola/Adamek would be a good entertaining scrap.

    I would like to see him fight Sam Peter in America if the American can be interested. I think it would give Haye a huge opportunity to show America that he is a real threat by beating a huge punching known fighter.

    Haye has a few good opponents to choose from.

    purely for a warm up fight against a K brother id like to see him up against fraudley !! theres some bad blood there between them and fraudleys height and reach would be half (or quarter) decent preperation for a K brothers style

    I would think the Mandatory will be the winner of Ruslan Chagaev v Kali Meehan

    but he wont be forced into the mandatory as he has just faced one

    It's amazing how quickly Chagaev can get another shot after his pathetic non-effort against Wlad.

    The heavyweight division really is gash if we are talking about the likes of Chagaev, Meehan and Valuev being in the top 10.

    Haye might as well fight Oliver McCall, at least the press conferences will be interesting.

    Edit - when Adamek beats Arreola.... that would be a good fight to make. Two ex-cruiser champs against each other.

    Vitali is 39 in a couple of months, if Haye doesn't fight him soon, the wins not going to be worth a huge amount.

    So, Skelton wasn't thought of that badly 2 years ago. Chagaev is a great technical fighter and was very successful in amateur. He wont be afraid of Haye's strenght and speed. I'd give him a fair chance of exposing Haye's limitations.

    Chagaev would be a good fight for Haye, similar style/toughness to Ruiz but with more boxing skill. Only Wlad has stopped him.
