The only reason Haye has said no to the Klitschkos is because of what they want. If he beats one he has to fight the other, if he beats him he then has to have a rematch verses the first one and if he beats him he has to have a rematch against the other. All of these would be in Germany where he'd never be given a points win. He's promised his family he'll retire soon so he has to make his money quickly.
The Americans don't like the Klitschko's (HBO haven't shown one of their fights in ages) so Haye wouldn't get a massive payday if he fought them

This will probably be the most one-sided heavyweight fight seen for ages. Haye will probably let Harrison stand up for the first three rounds out of sympathy, then slaughter him and his career in the fourth. Seriously though, if Audley Harrison was that good a boxer as he cracks himself up to be, then he would have been a pro fighter well before his Olympic gold medal performance in Sydney ten years ago. So its Haye all the way for me, then hopefully he can show the Klitschkos what a "coward" is made of.
How about paying £385 for a ticket to watch Hatton/Mayweather at the MGM Grand and that's not including flights, hotel, spending/gambling money etc...
Harrison won't see the 2nd round IMO. I don't think I've ever seen a boxer appear so scared of being hit than Harrison. Haye is quick, powerful and extremely accurate and will rock Harrison the first time he lands flush IMO. From there I don't care what anyone says, he won't want to toy about he will sense Harrison is in trouble and go for the kill and finish him off. I'm all over 10/1 for Haye to end it in the first.
Shame about the Klitchko's too but from what I can gather they're demanding ridiculous terms for any potential Haye match up. Haye has already proved by fighting 'away' from home against the giant Valuev (which was always a risky proposition) and against Jean Marc-Mormeck in his backyard that he's not afraid to fight anyone anywhere to realise his goals.
It may take time and plenty of negotiating but I can still see him fighting one or both of them in the future as the demand will be too great and he will niggle away and wind one of them up enough for them to agree more favourable terms!
I just hope that when Haye pummels Harrison, that Audrey will finally hang up his gloves, because he has been a massive let down since he won Olympic Gold..
I have to say that Haye seems to be getting alot of credit and respect from posters here. 10 years ago Haye would have been ranked 5 in BRITAIN if he was lucky Lewis, Bruno, Hide and Akawande all rightly being in front of him - he is the best of a very poor bunch at the moment thats all. He did get stopped by Carl Thompson some years ago which does not bode well for him if he ever gets whacked by one of the big boys. That said I hope he flattens Harrison, who is in my considered opinion a yellowbellied big mouth - reminds me of Ryan Bailey.
