Unlikely the Klitschkos will step up in the near future so who will Haye face next? Perhaps an old name like Rahman or Toney? Or maybe Chagaev, Maskaev or Ibragimov?
Rahman and Toney are fighting in december,no time to wait.Chagaev is injured.Makaev and Ibragimov would be decent choices.
ibragimov would be interesting, but he is a leftover from wlad, as was barrett. i would slightly favor haye but if the old aggressive iggy shows up, then haye could get starched. maskaev would surely accept one last payday, but beating that slow, chinless old man would prove nothing. arreola is high risk-little reward, he has the chin to mix it up with haye, but he would get outboxed in the process.
Don't know who he will fight but i hope it's a legitimate top 10 guy. If Haye stays undefeated at heavyweight a fight with one of the Klits will happen later next year. Its big money so it will happen. Because of this Haye could just face faded fighter's like Rahman or Maskaev for a relatively low risk fight to have the best chance of staying unbeaten and keep a potential Klit fight alive. Hopefully Haye won't do this. I would prefer him to face the better prime fighters as it will help prepare him for the Klits and it will be more entertaining for us fans. I personally believe Haye will fight the better heavys out there if a Klit fight does not happen immediately as he seems to always want to fight the best out there and give the fans fights they want to see.
