I would make Haye the favourite but I wouldn't rule out Stiverne. It would be an interesting fight. I'd prefer it to Stiverne vs Arreola 2. I don't see what grounds there are for a rematch there. It's wasn't even close.
Stiverne is Young and ambitious. Haye is(?) there for the money. And I don´t see Haye winning any fights from now till his retirement (he´ll never fight Again).
should be an automatic ban for starting a thread about haye and who he will fight and what he might do. he is irrelevant and will be over 2 years since he last fight if he ever does decide to "fight" again
Especially at this point, Stiverne. This would be a real interesting fight, they are actually much more similar fighters than many people realize. Both are (usually) mid volume counterpunchers with tremendous power. Stiverne's naturally bigger and has a better chin though. And Haye has been inactive too long and injury plagued. Stiverne wins. Too bad nobody added a poll, looks like its about 50/50 on the reponses.
I'd favour the Haye we've seen at heavyweight to beat Stiverne. Too fast, too mobile. If Austin can out box Stiverne then Haye could definitely do so. Though Stiverne would have a punchers chance. But Haye has not fought for 2.5 years and had a potentially career ending shoulder injury, he may not be the same fighter that beat Chisora. Haye also doesn't deserve a title shot. Too inactive, he needs to set up some easy fights to just get some momentum and sharpen his rusty skills.
