Joshua vs Haye is Inevitable

[david1963]

As several poster have already said, Haye wouldn't take a fight against the likes of Joshua unless there was something very big at stake. Joshua's promoters wouldn't have anything to do with Haye because he pulled out of the last three fights he signed up for. There's more chance of Sunderland winning the premier league next season than those two fighting each other.

I think there should be an automatic censor in place (like when you try to mention Wrank Farren) if you try to put "Haye" and "inevitable" in the same sentence.

[macaca]

What's the opposite of inevitable? Is it evitable?

Unforeseeable.

Or you wanna fornicate her

Are you talking about these two fighting within the following football season time frame?

I think he's talking about them fighting at all.

Haye says he wants it. Trust me. This is going to happen.

Haye and the Daily Mail, I am totally certain of having those tickets now.....




......Because I'll make them myself.

"Any fight would take place at Wembley as both boxers are from London"

Does that mean every boxing match featuring two Londoners takes place at Wembley?

No, just this one. This fight is massive, it has crossover appeal and will pull in people who don't normally watch boxing.

That isn't what the article said.

I'm grew up in Pennywell in Sunderland mate, so I can't read.

Haye inactive for far too long, Joshua too inexperienced. Haye would need some fights to see if he still had it, and Joshua needs to fight some decent opponents first. Definitely not something you could put on the near future. Joshua could go all the way, but we don't really know that yet.

You're right. I just don't see this one happening I'm afraid.

Even if Haye was a currently active, Joshua is too inexperienced to want to fight somebody of Haye's level. Haye isn't going to wait around for a year or two waiting for Joshua being good enough to beat him.

Especially as Haye's last fight was three years ago, last month. Claiming; "Yeah, man. I'll definitely return", in a few interviews doesn't change how long he's been out of the ring.

[liamlion]

Haye won't want anything to do with Joshua, not a chance especially after 3 years out! He's a bit to wise for all that I think.

Totally agree - naturally much bigger man, younger, and a huge puncher to boot.

Haye has been out far too long, and what does he have to gain, if he wins, then what? If he loses, it's a poor end to his career, I just cannot see Haye wanting to take that kind of risk.

I personally very much doubt we will see Haye back in action, unless Wlad were to lose to someone and Haye fancied his chances, however, I don't know that he's really that concerned any more, he's made his millions, and hasn't much left to prove. He was always up against it as a heavyweight, having to bulk up to be able to compete - he really wasn't a proper heavyweight in my eyes, he certainly wasn't built like one - and I'd say he was something of an overachiever as a heavyweight considering.

I was never a big fan of him as a heavyweight, but he was a very exciting cruiserweight. I felt his performance against Wlad left rather a sour taste after all the prefight talk, but to be fair, it's pretty daunting to be faced with someone who has every possible advantage over you.

Either way, unless Joshua wins a world title in very short order, which is very unlikely, I just cannot see Haye wanting to take him on.

Well said that man!

You're just going to have to trust me on this. I hear It's been agreed verbally between Haye and Hearn.

[macaca]

Good job it was verbally agreed Keith, imagine if it was in writing, you wouldn't have a scooby doo, Pennywell, pahhh, even Grindon lads can read pictures and all that

[Counter-puncher]

well, with two characters involved whose rectitude is so unquestionable, no wonder it is so inevitable. who could possibly question its likelihood given a verbal agreement between these two publicity-shy, retiring, understated types?

[m1kee50]

crossroads? more like someone coming off a standing start into the fast lane.

[big lennox]

I can't see Haye boxing again. He periodically says that he will, which is smart business sense, as it keeps his profile raised, but he hasn't boxed for years now, was getting injured and seems to spend most of his time in Dubai doing business. I loved watching Haye box, as he brought charisma and energy to an arean and came in to knock his opponent out and I don't begrude him his retirement; I just can't see him boxing again.

[Controversial]

I agree Haye won't fight again. Next month he will be 3 years out the ring, he announced a comeback fight in July 2013, and several times since, and still nothing. He is 35 later this year and with a potentially career ending injury as well, which won't ever be the same no matter how great he thinks it feels, time really isn't on his side. All these announcements are just to keep his profile up and him in the news.

Hearn is making it quite clear Haye won't be Joshua's next opponent :

“David Haye is not fighting AJ but there are rumors he might go the same night,” Hearn said. “I think that’s a fight that’s not too far away either but the Klitschko fight is the one that really whets the appetite. I just feel it is the right fight for Anthony Joshua right now. He is committed, his training team is committed, I am committed, and I think Bernd [Boente] and Wladimir are as well.”

Ortiz Haye would be a nice undercard, if Haye doesn't dare Briggs. Somehow I very much doubt Haye dares to fight Ortiz.

[if Haye doesn't dare Briggs.

Sadly, David Haye is obviously scared of Briggs.
