Should Haye go back down to CW to look for a title fight?

    With Haye saying he's only going to fight again if it's a title bout but of course we've already got Vitali and Povetkin tied up with defences already and needless to say a rematch with Wladimir would be pointless so why not go back down to CW? He would make the weight comfortably even next week if he wanted too. Against Chisora he was only just above the CW limit anyway, dehydrating down would be easy.

    Makes sense money wise. The British public would have no reason not to get behind Haye in his quest to reclaim his former crown and not to mention there is plenty of tasty fights to be had there. Haye vs Huck would be a huge fight in Europe against two men with an almost identical style. I'd certainly watch that.

    Something I agree with you on there.

    I remember hearing an interview Haye did a while back now where he was saying he was on a diet pretty much from the Mormeck fight all the way through to the Enzo fight in order to make weight.

    Was 95 kilos against Chisora so I would be surprised if on fight night against Enzo Maccarinelli he wasn't more or less the exact same weight. Draining 5 kilos of water weight is nothing.

    Haye is all money.

    Will only fight a Klit or someone who attacked him in a conference.

    Whats the point? It would do nothing for his 'legacy' and he would make less $$$. Also how does Huck have an identical style?

    Well considering he had 3 of the 4 major belts he pretty much has been there and done that.

    Who says he would make the weight easy? He was complaining a lot at the end of his CW run how difficult it was for him, plus he is a lot older now.

    Why would he go back to that pathetic division?
