    haye fights john ruiz next, then he'll begin talks with vitali, but that fight will probably be at the end of the year, i think he'll make another defence inbetween, and i think it'll be aagainst a former champ, which of these would be the best for him to fight, first legacy wise, and second matchup wise(as in who he'd perform best against)

    Toney
    Briggs
    Rahman
    Holyfield
    Peter
    Tua
    Roy Jones
    Tarver

    thats not the question. legacy wise he'll get judged on his fights with the klitschko's. the question is which of the ex champs would be best for him legacy wise.

    agreed, as i said klitschko will measure his legaccy. but if he was to fight one of those next, which would you prefer to see him fight? or would you rather see him against harrison or fury?

    I think Tua or Toney would give him a lot of trouble.

    Only Tua and perhaps Peter I could bear to watch. The other fights would be just worthless.

    Doesn't he have to fight Valuev in their Rematch clause?

    He won't have 3 fights this year, He will have Ruiz and then wait for a Klit.

    I want to see him in there with Arreola.

    It's wishful thinking and very doubtful that Haye will take another fight inbetween Ruiz and Vitali.

    Haye beats them all in one night, within 12 rounds total.

    IMO ruiz will beat haye.
    he is tough enough to stand up to the haye power, has a decent workrate and has enough power to get haye to be cautious to throw a lot of punches making it hard for haye to win rounds clearly.

    also the rabbit punches in the clinches i think will have a lot of effect on haye.

    Really?

    I see Haye outclassing Ruiz with his speed, power and athleticism, closing the show within a few rounds.

    Look how **** scared he was once jones had tagged him clean; how on earth will he react once he takes a flush punch of Haye?

    I don't think any of us should discuss his future until he KOs John Ruiz...knowing the quiet man, he will tie up David Haye literally and figuratively.

    If Haye gets past john Ruiz, he won't look good doing it. If he does look good in victory, he will join a short list of fighters who were able to dominate the quiet man and will deserve of a lot of credit from his detractors.
