    Banks????

    Haye needs to prove himself as a Heavyweight. Why would fighting a guy that got knocked out figthing for the cruiserweight title, thats not world ranked, and had 1 fight at heavy agaisnt Paul Butlin be a good option.

    Kevin Johnson............perhaps.

    Arreola makes sense for both the only think stopping it is Arreolla.

    I'm just chucking names about here. Banks made a heavyweight debut last weekend and with Haye's inactivity and recent injury it may be worth him taking Banks at heavyweight.

    Personally, I think he would batter Kevin Johnson and it would be a good fight for Haye to take. Haye may want to lure a Rahman or Holyfield to fight if he can't get Arreola.

    I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

    No I agree with Rob, the Banks fight does nothing for Haye.

    Johnson however is an option, and less of a risk the arreola.

    Haye needs to fight somebody. Anybody.
    I hope he doesn't wait for a shot. That could be years.
    On the up side, he has more time to bulk up and feel more comfortable with his new weight.

    I think its a simple as the Klitschos saying "**** him, he can can get back in line" rather than not wanting to "man up" in the ring. I don't think you can fault either Wlad or Vit for whats happened, or for their conduct, during the whole Haye/ injury saga.

    If Haye proves himself I'm sure they will, but they'll have some fun at his expense first.

    I'd like to see him fight James Toney.

    Although perhaps not the best move career wise, however, the trash talking would be sublime!

    That makes total sense..... just depends how comfortable Haye would be as the weight goes on him... he had the power as a Cruiser that will always be there....hope he gets back in the mix soon... before the end of the year.... :good

    The Arreola fight makes no sense for Arreola.For him the Haye fight is very high risk and relatively low reward,it could scupper a potential fight vs Wladimir.

    He should be targeting Dimitrenko, Arreola & Povetkin to get further up in the alphabet rankings.

    with his recklessness and slightly dodgy chin any decent smart contender can beat haye that's why he want's the big payday vs the Klits ASAP
