    Haye-Povetkin would be a very good fight.

    Certainly better than Haye vs Hepatitis Chagaev.

    Both Boystov and Haye were declared injured (hand injuries) but both are slated to fight TBAs in April, while Haye will fight in May. I wouldn't rule Boystov out as Haye's opponent.

    Absolutely Haye must fight Boystov, Povetkin, or Chagaev if he wants to gain the confidence of boxing fans.

    If he doesn't face either he should be stripped. The only way he can save face in this situation is if he voluntarily gives up the belt to fight Wlad or Vitali instead. If neither scenario happens and Haye is stripped it will be yet another sign that this man has no business in the heavyweight division.

    Excellent news. Aside from chagaev and povetkin are both solid top ten opponents and are decent defences. Beating one of these and then solis won't be a bad way to bow out.

    Povetkin would maul Haye. Look for Haye to find an excuse to get out of this one. At least a Klitschko beating would make him a lot of money

    Look at it this way. For a start Povetkin's best win is better than Haye's best (Chambers over Valuev). Povetkin will be by far Haye's toughest opponent to date, whereas Haye isn't much better than Chambers. Haye wont be fighting a guy in his late 30s here

    Also Povetkin has the style to give Haye fits. Povetkin will bring the fight to Haye early when Haye is vulnerable. We have already seen a shot Ruiz get through Haye's defence on multiple occasions- think what a combination puncher like Povetkin will do to Haye when he is forced against the ropes. I think AP has too much quality here

    If Povetkin is still about as good as he was against Chambers, Haye will be in trouble. Povetkin's a ducker, but a good ducker.
