Just read that they have reports that this will be Haye's next opponent now. Anyone heard anything about this?
So wen this fight happens you'll either be extremly rich or poor as ****. my advise is dont get your hopes up for the KO.
Monte Barett is not even a serious contender anymore these days. I expected more from Haye. Anyway, we will have to wait for confirmation.
Monte Barrett would be fine. He'd be in the middle of the range, in being not one of the best Haye could fight (e.g. Thompson), but not one of the worst (e.g. Greenberg). They need to announce though. It's already less than 2 months away, and the credibility diminishes every day less than 2 months that the guy has to prepare.
Barret will have to hang on for about 3 rounds. After that, Haye's spent and ready to be taken apart.
Barrett is coming off a big win and anyone who says this is a bad entry fight for Haye into the HW division is an official idiot.
