David Haye .. Ideal 1st proper heavy opponent

Tye Fields

 

I'd be amazed if Sprott earns significant money ever again, considering his "performance" in the Skelton fight.

 

He should fight a journeyman and then a someone like Rahman.

 

I agree.... but the man had a 15 Ranking in the WBC. Now hes like 60 after Haye beat him. So yes, he WAS top ranked if you want to get techincal. Even tho he didnt deserve it.

 

Well this is gonna sound very Frank Warren-ish but the best way for Haye to go is probably this:

1. Fight a few small heavyweights (nobody over 220) and climb the
ranks of the sanctioning bodies. Make sure they have no power.

2. Knock these guys out and tell everyone that will listen that you're a
bonafide heavyweight even though u haven't beaten anyone.

3. Fight a beatable top 10-15 guy, beat him, and get a title shot. Kali
Meehan or Samil Sam fit the bill.

4. Fight for a belt.

Jeremy Bates
Lou Savarese.

Mike Mollo.

 

Audley Harrison. Great british hw superfight!

 

devarryl williamson would be a good start.

a heavyweight with a dicey chin that haye can splat on the canvas. :yep

perfect preparation for wladimir klitschko.

 

:rofl so true...

 

Put him in with Golota so Golota can take that win and parlay it to a title match.

 

Somebody who doesn't hit too hard..... :nod
