Several days ago, David Haye spoke in detail with Setanta Sports about his next ring appearance, at heavyweight, in November. There is no set opponent, but former heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman was one of the frontrunners to land the slot. Last week in California, Rahman was on the losing-end of a rematch with James Toney. The ending was controversial. Rahman suffered a cut after an accidental clash of heads in the third-round. Following the conclusion of the third, Rahman advised the ring physician that he was unable to see. The ring physician would call a halt to the fight and Toney was awarded the win by way of a third-round technical-knockout. [details]

James Toney is god.
“David Haye is a comedian. Is he scared of an old, fat, short guy? He’s done nothing to even deserve a fight with [Wladimir] Klitschko. He won the cruiserweight titles from two bums, one old guy and one guy who can’t even fight in [Enzo] Maccarrinelli. And he thinks now he should get Klitschko? It’s ludicrous,” Toney would tell BoxingScene.
For several months, Haye has been calling for a fight with IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko. When Toney made his permanent move to heavyweight, he took on former-four time heavyweight champ Evander Holyfield. Toney views Haye as a fighter trying to take the easiest road possible to a title shot, but even if Haye gets there - Toney doesn’t see him being able to beat Klitschko.
“As terrible as Klitschko is, he will beat Haye. Haye has no chin and no heart, he proved that against Carl Thompson years ago. Things don’t change. He’s a typical Euro and British fighter. They get fed a bunch of bums and come over here and don’t want to fight a good fighter. I will destroy David Haye. He will never fight again. Everyone I fight, I ruin them. They are never the same again,” Toney said,
“Even Monte Barrett will knock him out. He’s afraid of me. I’m the realest fighter in the game. I’m the only old school fighter left in the game, not Bernard Hopkins. Haye wants the easy road. After I beat Rahman, I knew they would still go after him because he’s fragile. I took his spine and his heart in that fight.”
