    Who should he face to make a bold statement in his first heavyweight fight.. Would you take a chance of fighting a Gomez or even a Chambers? They are good heavyweights but remember Haye is a WORLD class fighter now..:D

    I would look at a top 30 type guy that can maybe get him in the top 15 of the major sanctioning bodies.

    maybe Davarral Williamson or Timor Ibragimov

    Great choice, I also think a Rahman would be interesting as well.

    Davarryll and McCall are established fighters.. If Haye beat either it would be a bold statement..

    someone like brock or timor ibragimov. solid heavies who are top 20 imo.

    if he cant get past those, he should bury his heavyweight dreams.

    He already beat the WBC's #11(well that's where Bonin was at the time) and now after capturing their Cruiserweight title . I'm sure after telling them he's a heavyweight from now on they'll just demand the customery $15,000 bribe and he'll be in .

    Seriously though I doubt Haye will have to beat anyone that good to get ranked .

    they'll go straight for a top 20, maybe even top 15 fighter. i don't think maloney will be pissing around getting him fights with respected journeymen. i'm expecting someone on bonin's level.

    Honestly top rank .. Bonin..???????

    Thomasz is durable but garbage.. he couldn't beat some 90+ placed heavyweights...... Moorer would kill him, Ahunanya would too..

    God forbid.. Even Shane Cameron might.....
