    If Haye KO's a few top 10 Heavys and picks up a belt, and Wlad cotinues to dominate. How big could the fight be.

    Big, but not THAT big. Of course no U.S. interest (British vs. Ukranian), and it's not a too exciting heavyweight... any DLH, Mayweather, Pacquiao vs. Top20 p4p-er would be bigger even for the average boxing fan.

    Maybe if Haye KOs Peter, Vitali and Wlad KOs Povetkin, Chagaev, Valuev, for the 4-title undisputed championship, it would be a huge fight. But it's not gonna happen. :D Both Haye and Wlad fights 2 times a year and that kills the potential of a HUGE fight. So it's only a BIG fight.

    Not a Frazier-Ali, but about the biggest fight the heavys can produce these days. Both guys are explosive punchers with vulnerabilities. In comparison to Haye and Klitchko, the rest of the heavys are plodders , content to slog their way to decisions. Haye is the most bloodthirsty heavy to come along since Tyson, and Wlad will seek to exploit his mistakes.
    Maybe Haye-Klitchko won't be a world event that attracts movie stars, but for diehard fans, it will be a long awaited treat.

    It's a fight that I would eventually like to see. To have Haye rush in there right now wouldn't be the smartest of ideas...at least a few fights at heavyweight first. I think Klitschko has been excepted in the US as a sort of "people's champion". Not that everyone likes him, but that he isn't looked at as an outsider anymore. If Haye takes apart top contenders then this fight could be a huge heavyweight fight - in today's terms. Nothing like Frazier - Ali, or even Lewis - Tyson ... but Haye has a lot to offer the heavyweight division that some of the other fighters do not.

    I think Haye will probably receive the same treatment as Lennox Lewis did.

    if haye can cut it at heavy then there is no way he ll get the same reaction as lewis.haye is all out guns blazing attack and the americans will love that as do most people.the thing haye wants to watch when he bulks up to fight the big boys is that he doesnt lose too much speed as this will be a key in fights such as klitschko if he is to stand a chance of beating him.im eager to see how his chin stands up at heavy now hes not draining himself,if it is sturdy he ll tear through the heavies imo

    No.

    Haye needs to prove himself at heavyweight first, if he punches out a couple of name contenders then it could well the biggest...for the HW division at least.

    The biggest possible fight is Wlad vs Vitali. But that won't happen.

    So after that, probably Wlad vs Peter II.
