    Yeah, he would be a huge cash cow if he KOs Wlad so finally we'd have some one who is enough of a draw to get the major fights and become undisputed, I think he is going to expose just how bad the current HW scene is.

    He would be good if he stay active fighting top contenders.
    Right now he is just running mouth bully who have problems
    with backing up his own words.

    Of course, he's great for the heavyweight division.

    How? he went face to face with Wlad and asked him to fight him, he is the undisputed CW champ of the world, and has a big following in the UK so I see no reason for Wlad not to fight him, Don King didn't ask a much smaller RJJ to prove himself at HW, Tarver didn't ask Bhops to prove himself at LHW, ODLH didn't ask PBF to prove himsel at 154 I could go on and on and with noone out there, this fight actually makes sense.

    Time will tell of course, but he could be a big breath of fresh air into this division.

    You forgot Wlad is fighting his second mandatory in a row in December and Haye face to face exhibition was in February. Since that Haye was talking about fighting top 10 contenders but in reality he refused to fight both Rahman and Toney, not mention he called Barrett a journeyman not a long time ago ....

    On the other hand Jones was #1p4p fighter for a long time before he fought Ruiz, Hopkins and DLH were also top p4p fighters with a long and fritfull career. Haye is still green and unproven with a lot of issues like chin or stamina which are important at HW.

    True But he is the undisputed CW champ, and with the current state of the HW division, I see no valid reason for this fight not happening.

    As far as Toney and Rahman go, both are past prime and don't offer much, maybe Rahman vs Haye would have been cool, but not now, and Barret is a journeymen level fighter but with the division being so bad he is ranked in the top 15, I don't expect much from Barret, he wasn't that good in his prime, and now he's like 37, so I expect an easy night of work for Haye.

    I really like his potential but it's still only potential at this stage...

    If he proves to be just half worthy of the hype he gets, of course he will be good for the division.

    The Toney that fought Holy and Booker would, but not the fat lazy one that doesn't train and is 40, although he looked good in his last fight whats to motivate him to show up in shape? besides he is shot did you see his 2nd fight with Peter?

    Yes, he brings charisma and huge punching power to the division, I just don't think he can beat either Klitschko, if he ducks anyne it should be those 2, probably Peter and Tua too.
