    what are the time scales for his manditory and Valuev rematches? Will he have time to have a volentary defense to face a Klit or will they have to be paid to step aside and contracted to fight the winner? Or will he have to have these 2 before?

    The Valuev rematch wont sell in this country after the 1st one so i suspect step aside money will be paid. I honestly believe Haye will go for Vitali next and hes said so on numerous occasions recently that if Vitali's sensible at the negotiating table it will happen.

    I think if he had a chance of a fight against a Klit then he'd either pay stand aside money or give up the WBA belt to win one of the others.

    There's no way a rematch would sell tickets or PPV so best avoided at all costs.

    Really mate?

    I'm not sure it's a particularly good sell.... alright Hopkins will probably avenge the only real defeat of his career tomorrow but still, doesn't grab me.

    Real shame if he's tied up in this nonsense with Valuev. Doubt many will tune into that.

    I just want to see him in with Wlad now. There has been a lot of talk.

    If Haye fights Hopkins I will give up on the sport. A farce of a fight

    Not saying I support the fight, just giving my opinion on what I think will happen. Hopkins has been vocal in wanting the winner and all three are with GB. It's going to be up to Haye to say "no, I only want credible fights at heavy". Will he do that?

    If Haye doesn't fight either of the Klits next then it's a farce.

    Who knows.

    Haye vs Hopkins
    Haye vs Valuev 2
    Haye vs Wlad
    Haye vs Vitali

    These are the fights on horizon.

    Ah ok :good

    I think the best fight for Haye after this (assuming no options from Valuev and BS mandos like Chagaev/Meehan/Holyfield :)bowdown).... is Vitali. Showing plenty of wear and tear, is WAY overrated etc etc.

    Hopkins might just pick his pockets (long shot obviously) but at the very least will make him look **** for a few rounds before losing on points...

    (Unfortunately) dont discount a haye-holyfield fight either :-( ^ sorry i was a bit slow there. The whole thing was for Haye to bring excitement to the stale division, how can he do that without challenging brtoher grim? Would lose alot of credibility if he doesnt fight 1 of them at the end of 2010

    The fights with the Klits can be made, it will just get tricky with purses and locations... Wembley Stadium would be great. Shalke 04 would be great to, that is an amazing Stadium.

    I hope he don't fight Hopkins, that could be really bad for B-Hops health...:yep

    My initial reaction to Haye v Hopkins was "Bernard gets KO'd" but then I came to thinking that it's unlikely Nard would get KO'd. I'd much rather see Hopkins fight Dawson and Haye fight the Klits. But I can see why Hops would want the Haye fight, it's a money and legacy fight. Not many of those about.
