The Sun newspaper claims Manuel Charr is "most likely" to be Haye's first opponent

Of course you're right, bu let's be honest though, neither Adamek nor Povetkin are here to do Haye any favors. Povetkin especially has a big payday looming and would probably never come to the UK just to make Haye happy.

Adamek I am not sure if he has any options to make big money, also not sure how much Haye can pay his opponent in this comeback fight right now. I take it this won't be on PPV?

If not, then realistically Haye could probably 'only' get guys like Charr for this fight. Guys who need money and have nowhere else to go, and at the same time are not bound in a rematch contract like Thompson and Banks currently are. So I really don't blame Haye if the Charr fight happens -- and I am not even a fan, I criticized him so many times but not this time.

 

Sorry, Nizzle. I'll lay on the sarcasm a little thicker next time.

 

Adamek lost to Chambers and Cunningham would get killed by Haye inside 4 rounds and I wouldn't be surprised if he lost to Charr. Helenius has been horrible recently and is also not better than Charr. Povetkin doesn't want to fight Wlad for a title what makes you think he wants to fight Haye?

 

Povektin was fighting on Haye's undercard in London against Chisora before the fight got pushed back out of injury.

 

Maybe the old Audley. Not the new, post-PF Champ Audley. :yep

 

I bet Haye thought he could come back, pick a couple of weak challengers like Povetkin, Fury or Adamek and then talk his way into another Klit fight. He's clearly struggled to tie either of those guys down to a contract and now the only guy who is up for the challenge is Charr. This has backfired massively, and I wouldn't be surprised to see another training camp 'injury' from Haye in the build up that scuppers the fight.

Charrr was good enough to challenge the Klitschkos for their World Championship two fights ago, and was giving them hell until a poor call from the doctor. He's a young, in shape, determined hungry young lion with a point to prove - he does not fit the bill of a typical Haye opponent at all.

 

You guys just don't get it at all.

 

what other choice does he have really?

It's been made crystal clear he needs to become mando. He probably fights charr then the winner of arreola/stiverne. Couple that with his stoppage of Chisora and he'll almost certainly be vitali's mando. At that point Haye will just wait for the contract, he doesn't do stay busy fights.

 

I could see Charr getting to his man. This will not be a walk in the park like the recent A Farce and Chisora fights that is for sure.

 

Erm, well considering I like Wlad and predicted and expected Wlad to win, no.

The biggest disappoint I had was that both fighters fought ultra cautiously and the fight didn't deliver the excitement all the casual boxing fans who bought the fight would have been hoping for. Wasn't great for the sport.

And as for worrying about taking a ribbing - it's just an Internet forum. It's all fun and games.
