WBC/WBA cruiserweight champion David Haye is planning to clean up the heavyweight division once he's finished with UK-rival Enzo Maccarinelli on March 8 at the 02 Arena in London.

Haye wants to add Macca's WBO title around his waist and then he plans to move to heavyweight. Haye, 27, tells The Guardian that he plans to take the toughest fights out there because he wants to retire by 30.

”My plan is to not box past 30,” he explained in an interview with The Guardian. 'That gives me three years to become heavyweight champion of the world. I'm not going to cut any corners, I'm not going to fight any bums, I'm just going to get straight out there and clean up that division. Since Lennox Lewis retired there's been no flagship heavyweight running the show, and I really do believe that's going to be me.”

Haye still has Macca to contend with, and he plans to end the fight with the first big punch that connects flush.

”It's rare in boxing that you get the two best in the division slugging it out toe-to-toe,” Haye sad. The last time two British world champions fought was Nigel Benn against Chris Eubank in 1993. That was huge, but this fight will be more explosive. It will come down to who lands the first clean bomb, and his style is tailor-made for me.

”I can't see it going past five rounds. The only way he will win is if he gets a chin transplant from Marvin Hagler!”

Boy, Haye seems really sure of himself. This is by no means a walkover, not by a long way! I reckon will prevail, but for the first time since the fight was announced, I now find myself thinking Haye is a little overconfident perhaps?

I just hope he does the business & then moves up to new & bigger challenges at HW. Countless others have said they will retire & not come back, but I reckon Haye is very serious when he states he will retire ahed thirty. I'm pretty sure Haye won't need boxing 7 will make a lot of money in other things when he's retired such as modelling, commentating on fights, etc.

The last English HW to set himself a timetable for becoming champion was Audley Harrison . . .

Who else lay claim to such a title? Klitshcko? Imbragimov? Chagaev? Maskaev? Toney? Peters? Do me a favour. Obese coke heads and roid ridden wrestlers need not apply.

What you think he'd beat Wlad K?

The Londoner has made no secret of the problems he has had at making the cruiserweight limit and Haye was unimpressed with heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko's recent victory over Sultan Ibragimov.

"Watching it, I was ashamed to be a boxer," said the 27-year-old Haye. "It was one of the worst shows of a boxing match I've ever seen in my life.

"If that's the best I've got to worry about then I might be heavyweight champion quicker than I think'

Speeds one of Haye's main strengths too.

Haye's said he will fight at about 16 and a half stone (230) at HW

Maybe, I was reading one of my boxing monthlys were they Interview Booth and Haye and Booth wants him at 17stone and they reckon on this video he's going to be putting on the weight too.

That would be a huge mistake. His big advantage would be hand and footspeed. Weighing that much would just slow him down. What is with these English trainers wanting their HWs to weigh as much as a house; look at Danny Williams and his "scientific" training regimen which produced a 270 lb beached whale vs Vitali.

Interesting.

Enzo is a good fighter, but he is nothing compared to what the Heavyweights will bring.
Povetkin, Ibragimov, Chagaev and of course Wlad would all be much tougher fights for Haye.

Unlike the majority, I thought Wlad was impressive the other night.
He did as he wanted with Sultan who was as good an amateur as Haye ever was.
Now Wlad is getting his confidence back, he will take some beating.
I can see him dominating for the next 5 years if he really wants it.

Don't judge all British fighters/trainers on Danny Williams.....his training regimes are pretty unique hes a law unto himself when in camp. About 16 and a half stone (231) is about right for Haye at HW IMO.

I think he would KO Wlad, who is nothing special and scared of his own shadow.
