    Hoping for Povetkin but it's most likely going to be Thompson.

    Would love for him to fight Adamek.

    he should lay waste to banks, which would theoretically go a long ways toward a wlad rematch.

    They said it will be from top10.
    Someone from these maybe:
    Kubrat Pulev
    Robert Helenius
    Alexander Povetkin
    Tony Thompson
    Tomasz Adamek
    Ruslan Chagaev
    Denis Boytsov
    Jonathon Banks
    Tyson Fury
    Alexander Dimitrenko

    Looks like its not going to be Thompson.

    Banks wouldn't surprise me. Povetkin or Adamek would both be good and are winnable for Haye. However these guys might avoid Haye. Although Haye would be the favorite in all 3, all 3 are risky.

    Given Haye's history I won't be surprised if its Pudar or Oquendo or someone on that level. Good chance it is someone from the WBA list to get Haye that WBA title or make him the mandatory for it. Ortiz or Chagaev would be good opponents.

    Could be Helenius too since he looks vulnerable and is the #1 contender for the WBO.

    Povetkin or Adamek would be best out of all available for me.

    I think he may actually go after the current, declined Adamek as a low risk high reward fight, and I'd still like to see it. If Adamek gave it his all.. Haye surely wouldn't like that pressure Adamek applies at his best. I think he'd KO him but there's still a tiny bit of doubt in my mind.

    Haye-Adamek is still the best HW match we can have. These guys are made to fight each other.

    haye against adamek would be ****. adamek is shot and was never that good anyway. he lost to cunningham, to chambers. everyone knows he would lose against haye.
    haye vs pulev/fury/povetkin these would be great fights.
