    Haye announced that he wants to come back via the WBC route

    Povetkin is the Silver Champion
    Josuha is the International Champion

    The top 15 are:
    1. Alexander Povetkin
    2. Mike Perez
    3. Tyson Fury
    4. Bermane Stiverne
    5. Vyacheslav Glazkov
    6. Lucas Browne
    7. Anthony Joshua
    8. Andy Ruiz
    9. Manuel Charr
    10. Tony Thompson
    11. Artur Szpilka
    12. Eric Molina
    13. Carlos Takam
    14. Chris Arreola
    15. Steve Cunningham

    Steve Cunningham for me is the logical comeback opponent. A name, former Cruiser champ & is ideal in terms of size. A win will give him the top 15 ranking he needs. It would be a tough return, but if he cannot get passed him he has no right in calling out Wilder.

    Mike Perez in an eliminator then straight to Wilder

    Other non WBC routes
    Shannon Briggs - would be great build up
    Solis - Revenge grudge return in the paid ranks
    Antonio Tarver - Another ideal small heavy

    Arreola, charr, browne, Thompson.... Any of those fights would sell well and would be easy work for haye.

    Arreola ain't busy and haye can get back in the mix infront of a big u.s. Crowd and make a statement by stopping arreola

    He should try and get a fight with that Mark DeMori mug straight away. He's ranked highly with WBA but is an awful fighter.

    How is Mike Perez ranked so highly? As for Haye's comeback opponent, it doesn't really matter as he'll be ranked by all the major bodies if he faces anyone half decent. The main issue is how often will he fight? Twice a year won't cut it if he wants to get a title shot quickly.

    You are so full of **** Tibbs. You've always had it in for Haye. I guess if he were Asian you'd like him?

    No comeback would be ideal. Fraud
