    If David Haye does end up getting into the ring with a Klit, and loses what does everyone think the prospect is of Haye dropping back to Cruiser?
    Or do people think that he may continue to campaign at Heavy for another shot?
    Would Cruiser be too difficult for Haye to make? I think he looks like he could still make it to be honest.

    He will stay at HW becuase there is way more money involved and i do not think he will be able to make cruiser again.

    I just think to be honest that Haye puts weight on for the sake of it to make Heavy.
    He still looks ripped to a certain extent at heavy, but i just wonder about it.
    How badly was he struggling?

    Haye wont fight at cruiser again. He's put on a fair bit of muscle since he last got down to 200 so going down now hes that bit older and that bit bigger would cripple him.

    I think he will retire when he loses again.
    I dont think he likes fighting, I dont think he likes training. He'll make as much money as he can, as easily as possible with as few fights as possible, and retire if he takes a beating.
    Anyone think he's even going to fight again this year ?

    He could always tempt Danny Williams out of retirement and make a few quid.

    could this not have gone into the David Haye whats next thread?

    If he loses at heavy he will rematch if possible, if not retire. UFC would be a possibility.

    Wtf is up with Haye? Heavyweight of the world bs thinking he`s royalty all of a sudden. He should have the belt taken off him for cheating his fanbase.

    Can't see him making cruiser again. He's had a couple of years of growing into a heavyweight frame so doubt he'd be in the required condition to fight. That said Booth has subsequently admitted that he didn't struggle at all to make weight for Enzo as was publicised at the time!

    I may be wrong but I don't think Haye has the hunger in him to carry on fighting lesser opposition if he loses. He won't earn anywhere near as much, and he's always said he plans to retire really early. I believe Haye is fighting only for money now that he's achieved his dream of becoming heavyweight champion. I think he does eventually want to face a Klit, but only after he's made some extra money fighting lesser fighters, and when the brothers are a little older. I think he realises he will probably lose and it will be his last big payday. He would retire IMO.

    I predict that Haye will possibley have another 2 fights before he takes on a klit if it was to happen i belive it will be later next year. i stil think haye stands a chance with a klit now with his speed and potential power. we will just have to wait and see what happens

    What's he going to do at cruiserweight exactly? There is **** all to do there that is going to interest Haye. He's not a real hungry fighter that loves to be in the ring all the time, thats apparent.

    Aside from the fact there is no way he's going to make it anymore now he's built into heavyweight.

    No way Haye could make cruiser, look at him now compared to when he started out, there is a huge difference in size.

    He's made plenty of money already, if he does lose at Heavy he could easily build himself up again in one fight, no need to go to cruiser at all.
