    haye always blames the klitschko brothers fighting bums, if you take a look at haye, it ain't pretty either, accept valuev, haye was a good dancer and he showed he can run like a chicken! maybe not to blame haye, because he is to small to beat a real heavyweight in power.

    A good fight would be:
    1) Alexander povetkin (i don't think haye would take such a high risk fight)
    2) Nikolay Valuev (if Valuev has no injuries)
    3) Dennis Boytsov (highest rated contender by the wba, if Chagaev doesn't get permission to fight)

    But i think Chagaev won't get permission, and haye is looking for another low risk fight like, Tony Thompson, Eddie Chambers ??

    Expect him to take another easy payday.

    I don't think we'll see Haye-Chagaev. Boystov is injured which comes to Povetkin and who knows if he would take the fight even though its a very good fight. Rahman is #5 and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him sneak in there.

    If Chagaev isn't allowed to fight then I don't know if the next available guy gets the shot straight away or will the WBA force a box off between the next highest available guys. If there has to be a box off then Haye is free to face anyone he wants come this spring like Holyfield, Rahman, Mormeck, or someoe along those lines.

    I'd like to see Povetkin. Perhaps Teddy'll let him fight Haye.

    yea I would like to see Povetkin as well. .Tony Thompson seems a bit weird considering he was just the sparring partner with Haye. And I think Boystov is hurt again.

    Tony Thompson was a sparringpartner of Wladimir Klitschko before the fought! so it's possible.

    And Boytsov is indeed injured! maybe for a long time.

    haye cab still wait for July 2, and fight Wladimir!
    Or maybe, it's just an idea!! retire now??

    No way haye is going for Povetkin, it's a high risk for haye!
    Unless the wba forces haye to fight povetkin, that would be great.

    more than likely a tomato can, povetkin would beat haye so they will do everything in their power to not make that fight

    I would think it would need to be somebody at least ranked in the top 10 WBA rankings, so if Haye gets the choice I think he'd pick it as:

    1. Hasim Rahman (#5)
    2. Kali Meehan (#9)

    My wildcard:
    Mark De Mori
    16-1-2

    Signed to Don King
    Solid skills
    28 years, always comes in shape
    Hasn't been tested but you can sell his 73% KO record
    Bring a bit of Australian-British rivalry

    Yes, Rahman makes sense... Just the opponent Haye likes. 38, over the hill hasbeen (former champ), knocked out more than once, hasn't beaten a big name for over 5 years now. Only Rahman's punching power could be to big of an issue for Haye to make the fight... He might actually win.
