Haye:“I'd rather retire from boxing than work with Sports Network again.”

There are loads of guys to fight. Britain is becoming a hotspot for boxing. Golden Boy and Haye will ensure a huge venue (O2), the money and the opponent. Golden Boy and Haye have good track records.

Haye has many months to build himself back into a heavyweight and find a top 10 opponent. Many names in the rankings I'd like to see him face.

 

Think we all know who Fwank will be writing about next week in his column. Warren you have been OWNED!

 

He was bleating last week about Ricky being past it. To be honest his article is just aimless drivel. Face it Frank your NOT important anymore.

 

True but a journeyman like Bonin was WBC no 12 when Haye fought him.

 

damn haye is great i even met him after the hatton fight wonderful person

 

Very well said by Haye. Nice to see that its not only ESB Brits that dont like Franky.

On a side note, whatever happened to Harrrison/Skelton's shot at Peter? That has gone out of the news a bit.

BTW, Rahman is still a realistic first opponent for David Haye, if he beats Toney, its only a month away, he will still be Haye's target for an Autumn showdown. He doesn't plan on a return until this time anyway, he has plenty of time to pick opponents.

 

Haye should fight Rahman, then Dimitrenko. But I have heard rumours it Kali Meehan

 

Haye is THE man... that was fabulous..... When Khan gets folded like a deck chair by Gomez or AN Other and JC retires FW is going to pay for all these years of utter shite matchmaking. Sports Network are on wobbly legs, in the 15th round- way behind on points and haven't got the big punch to turn things round. They should have spent time, money and effort developing their young potential...instead they matched them against dumplings, made no effort to give them personality and here we are... SN need something big very soon, FW must be praying that the olympians he has been covorting for the last few months decide to go pro otherwise ....

 

Sports Network have gone through bad times before, they won't easily go down. The guy became bigger than the likes of Duff out competed him Into retirement.

 

frank warren took a verbal bitchslapping there.haha

 

If Calzaghe promotions started-up, Frank would be b*ggered!

 

Great work by Haye. I had been on his back about his attitude recently but when it is aimed at Warren I really do not mind. Funny guy.

 

#11 actually , not that it really matters .

The opponents Haye has to pick from currently are:
Vladimir Virchis(WBC #1, WBO #3)-fighting Gomez
Juan Carlos Gomez(WBC #2)-fighting Virchis
John Ruiz(WBC #3, WBA #2, IBF #6, WBO #12)
Hasim Rahman(WBC #4, WBA #12, IBF #3, WBO #13)-fighting Toney
Alexander Dimitrenko(WBC #5, WBA #5, IBF #4, WBO #2)
Oleg Maskaev(WBC #6, IBF #7, WBO #6)
Chris Arreola(WBC #7, WBA #13, IBF #10, WBO #10)-fighting Chazz Witherspoon
Andrew Golota(WBC #8, WBA #6, IBF #11)
Kali Meehan(WBC #9, WBA #3, IBF #13, WBO #9)
Donnell Holmes(WBC #10)
Nicolei Valuev(WBA #1)-fighting Chagaev
Taras Bidenko(WBC #37, WBA #4)
Kevin Johnson(WBC #15 , WBA #7)
Sergui Lyakhovich(WBA # 8
Carl Davis Drumond(WBC #12, WBA #10, IBF #15)
Alexander Povetkin(IBF #1 , WBO #4)-fighting TBA , then Klitschko
Sultan Ibragimov(IBF #5 , WBO #5)
Eddie Chambers(IBF # 8-fighting Raphael Butler
Tony Thompson(IBF #9, WBO #1)-fighting Klitschko
JD Chapman(WBC #13, WBA #9, WBO #7)
Travis Walker(WBC #14, WBO # 8 )

So that's 21 possible opponents , and 8 of those are busy leaving Haye with 13 possible opponents .

Ruiz
Dimitrenko
Maskaev
Golota
Meehan
Holmes
Bidenko
Johnson
Lyakhovich
Drumond
Ibragimov
Chapman
Walker

Realisticaly Ruiz or Maskaev are the best choices from that bunch , Ibragimov wouldn't be bad either but I doubt his team would put him in there right after losing to Klitschko .

 

I think Lykoavich would be perfect. Dimitrenko is raned in the top 4 by both Wlads belts (wbo and ibf) so Haye should aim for him in the next 2 fights.
