14. Alexander Ustinov
15. Dominic Breazeale

So that leaves 4 in the rankings:

Andy Ruiz
Bermane Stiverne
Alexander Ustinov
Dominic Breazeale

Which of these should The HayeMaker™ face

 

I think Ustinov would be a pretty easy fight for Haye and he won't have to look about for a TV deal as Ustinov is with Frank W, so he can get on Box Nation.

 

Breazeale would be the toughest option of the 4. I do not think Breazeale's team would risk him with Haye after the torrid time that Mansour gave him early on in the fight they had recently. They can see he has a lot to work on, and know he needs some more learning fights...however he is a great prospect.

The other 3 would be knocked out by wind from one of Haye's hayemakers.

 

How is Teper No. 3 if he is banned!?

 

Think there is still some legal mumbo jumbo going on with it and they are waiting until that is resolved.

He will probably be allowed to fight in some countries too.

 

vacant is the most likely

 

Haye has no desire to truly work his way up the rankings. He wants a pay day at the earliest opportunity.

 

He needs to be ranked in the IBF to fight Joshua though if he wins the world title, so who out of these 4 should he choose?

 

ustinov would be perfect, i doubt we'll see haye fight any of these though

 

Any of them. Then he's already the biggest threat to Joshua apart from maybe Parker. But we haven't seen enough of him.

 

I'm not convinced Haye will fight again this year.

 

My man Haye, is waiting for the winner of Charles and AJ, or may even consider taking part in a title eliminator via the IBF route.

Once that happens he is looking to clean up the scene.

 

If Joshua becomes IBF and Haye wants to fight him then he will need to get ranked.

 

He's scheduled to fight on May21st at the O2 :nod

 

He will need to get ranked in the top 15 1st.
