I think haye should fight an easy opponent first im holding judjment on him in the heavys until I see him fight there and see does all his talk come through.
I would like to see murray fight khan as I dont see him beating any of the top lightweights.

Well Haye already blew away his first Heavyweight opponent with ease, I would still say he should ease himself into the weight though.

Since you ask, here's a little something I put together on Haye's heavyweight options.

yeah its pretty good
id add maybe bidenko and meehan.
as for skelton or williams being local scraps..they would be massive draws over here

Considered Meehan but figured he's too high risk/low reward. If he wins, he's only beaten a guy who was whipped by Williams and Rahman, and a loss would be disastrous. He's got a world ranking, but then so have many bigger names.
Yes, Haye vs Skelton or Williams would be huge here, but he's already said he's not interested.

I think it will end up being Rahman personally but I'm hoping for Haye v Skelton (although I give it no chance of being made).
No way would Haye stop granite-chinned Matt and could be a nightmare stylewise for The Hayemaker so is defo the fight I'd want to see.
I really want to see Haye clear out the heavies but get the feeling its not going to happen. Who here genuinely thinks he would beat Wlad? Not me, I'm afraid to say....

I don't think he'd beat Wlad and people talking about it as if it's a foregone conclusion are a bit over-excited. I do think he'll at least win a belt, though. He's not got much to fear below Klitschko, really.
For his next fight, I'd like to see him in with Skelton or Barrett.

Barrett is a good shout, and hit little bit of form. How about Sprott?

Sprott blew his last chance at ever again getting a big fight with the soporific Skelton rematch.
