Perfect opponent looks ok on paper but he will fold the first time he's hit .

Much like de Mori did.

Yep if you look at Scott's two loses he basically rolled over the first time he was hit.
I only see the de Mori fight on my phone so hard to tell if Haye was any good but I thought he looked a bit slow.

If Haye is shot Scott is good enough to expose it, unlike De Mori.

Haye was as fast as he had to be against de Mori. We won't know what Haye is capable of until he is tested and de Mori was never going to be capable of that.

For a first up after nearly 4 years Haye ticked every box.

If Scott doesn't dive he would be a nice contender, but he does, so I don't take him serious, hopefully Haye dares to fight Ortiz, but he probably doesn't because he's scared. Haye knows very well he isn't a real top contender.

I'd like Scott. Good test if he doesn't catch him early.

I've also heard Eddie Chambers is a possibility.

Scott would be an ideal opponent, he is skillful enough to make Haye have to put a bit of thought into his attacks, but fragile enough that if/when Haye does land it will no doubt end with another brutal KO.
Also Scott is not a puncher, so even if he catches Haye with a couple it shouldn't be a problem.

Scott is certainly quicker than De Mori so might give us a better idea of Haye's speed. Still have to go with Haye KO.

He's just gonna get easy fights until the big one maybe two fights come along depends on how the first big one goes then retire again with a boat load of cash at his disposal.
