4. Luis Ortiz

There’s a big caveat to this entry – Ortiz is arguably the most dangerous, and avoided, heavyweight in the world. The Cuban southpaw carries thunderous power and smooth skills, and in recent outings has dispatched Bryant Jennings and Tony Thompson with relative ease.

That makes him a big risk for Haye’s plans to secure a massive payday against Anthony Joshua.

However Haye – also a big threat to the heavyweight world champions – should take risks if he’s serious about getting the big fights. No 1 with the WBA, Ortiz does reportedly have some absurd mandatory obligations given the spurios title he holds.

Regardless, he is widely considered one of the best heavyweights around, and is the sort of challenge Haye should seek out.
