As I sit here alongside the rest of the boxing world waiting for the next ‘big thing’ in the Heavyweight division; I cannot hide the fact that I am excited of the speculation of the return of David Haye.
The former undisputed Cruiserweight and WBA Heavyweight Champion announced his retirement last month after losing a one sided point’s decision to Wladimir Klitschko in July.
However, it was announced earlier this week that Vitali Klitschko, the older brother of Wladimir, is in negotiations with Team Haye for a clash in March 2012. Adam Booth, the manager/trainer of Haye confirmed this. “We have received a contract to fight Vitali Klitschko and our lawyers are looking at the details of what has been offered”.
For years now, the Klitchskos have dominated the Heavyweight division with ease. Vitali is coming off a comfortable win against Tomasz Adamek whom he stopped in the 10th round in September and Wladimir is in a meaningless fight against Jean Marc Mormeck on December 10th.
The division has become a farce.
The only real threat in the public’s eyes is the Hayemaker. He brings excitement in and outside the ring which is only healthy for the sport of boxing.
Andre Berto- On June 21, 2008, Berto became the WBC welterweight champion by defeating Miguel Rodriguez by seventh round technical knockout. He lost his WBC welterweight title on April 16, 2011 to Victor Ortiz via unanimous decision. Berto bounced back in his very next fight on 4th September 2011, to defeat Jan Zaveck and became the IBF welterweight champion, until he vacated it. 
Melvin Guillard- He debuted with the UFC on The Ultimate Fighter 2 television series, losing in the first welterweight elimination bout to Josh Burkman. Guillard received his blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Ricco Rodriguez in 2008.[1] He is currently ranked the 10th best lightweight fighter by Bloody Elbow and 7th by MMAWeekly
