Haye eyeing Joshua
Acording to one newspaper. Haye desperate for media attention. Its a fight i would love to see but i would be too scared to book tickets incase Haye pulls another sick note. I wish he would just piss off.

I never understood what England saw in him in the first place at all
Re: Haye eyeing Joshua
Credit where credit is due, he was exciting to watch and powerful. He is a bit of a penis now right enough! Not sure if he'd be anywhere near the same fighter if he does make a return.asdfjkl wrote:I never understood what England saw in him in the first place at all

He cherrypicks his opponends very carefull, taking old guys, taking injured guys and decline a match as soon as he expects to lose, untill he could finally touch a big pile of money against Klitschko and after that he cried he was injured anyway.
For me he's still "How's your toe ?" Haye.
Re: Haye eyeing Joshua
Aye he'll never live that toe thing or the 'sick note' moniker down! You're right he wasn't big enough to trouble someone like Klitschko and probably Joshua/Fury a swell. I'd have liked to have seen him in with Povetkin. That would've been a shoot out. Not sure if I want to see him back tbh. Part of me is curious and the rest of me doesn't give a crap!asdfjkl wrote:He was a very good cruiserweight, but he simply wasn't a heavyweight.Stuarty30 wrote:Credit where credit is due, he was exciting to watch and powerful.

Re: Haye eyeing Joshua
Has Haye's stock fallen that much that he is now hanging on the coat tails of a hot prospect who hasn't even faced an opponent that has hit him back yet?
I know Joshua looks like the real deal, but he hasn't fought anyone yet & is still a novice.
If Haye is serious about coming back, he needs to set the bar a little higher & he needs to turn up to fight too, that would help!

Except he did trouble Klitschko. He hurt him a couple of times and even in a sub-par performance did more than any other Klitschko opponent probably since Sam Peter in their first fight.Aye he'll never live that toe thing or the 'sick note' moniker down!

Personally I think he think he would have had a field day with Fury.

Re: Haye eyeing Joshua
Haye Talks of Unifying Heavyweight Titles
David Haye, finally contemplating making his comeback after a three year absence from the ring, has ambitious plans.
The Bermondsey heavyweight, set to hit the comeback trail after recovering from a career threatening injury has previously mentioned tangling with Anthony Joshua, something Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, has dismissed.
But it appears that Haye, who has a career record that reads 26-2 with 24 of those wins coming by knockout, wants to dominate the heavyweight division and unify the division by grabbing the WBC title held by Deontay Wilder and the IBF / IBO / WBA / WBO titles held by Wladimir Klitschko.

Now 34 years of age, Haye accepts that he’s going to have to earn the right to take on the big names mentioned but he feels his age isn’t a disadvantage remarking in the Daily Mail,
“I want to regain the heavyweight championship, and unify all the titles. To do that I’ve got to beat Deontay Wilder and Wladimir Klitschko.
“Three years for me is not so much. I’m 34 years old, 35 soon but I haven’t got that much mileage and I haven’t taken many concussive blows.
“In terms of boxing freshness I still feel like I’ve got a lot left to give.”
That remains to be seen but Haye has to realise it’s all right to talk about your plans but this comeback has to happen sooner rather than later otherwise Father Time will catch him out.

Re: Haye eyeing Joshua
I tend to agree with you. I can seeing him making a fight but pulling out but thats as far as he will get into the ring. I'm not really sure why he keeps spouting on and on tbh. He's obviously bored and nothing in the reality tv circuit is emerging.Marlo Stanfield wrote:Haye won't fight again.

Yeah he also looks pretty heavy and with the constant bags under his eyes I would imagine he's been enjoying the wrong sort of lifestyle for the past three years that one good training camp will not fix.
He would be a welcome addition to the scene but I think most of us have grown tired of his will he/won't he comeback and now don't believe a word he says.

Naz looks like he needs to take antihistamines if he has to venture within 500 yards of a gym!Old bones Ian wrote:Also Naz is just off to the gym as well
If he gets any fatter, his wife will have to roll him down the street!

Re: Haye says he's coming back!
In fairness a lot of us would look like that if we retired from sport 13 years ago with a few million in the bank, at least he's not looking like Gazza.

Agree. Too fast, too powerful. Great movement too. Shame he's so disliked now by the boxing fans but he has brought it on himself.Dixonian wrote:He was a very good cruiserweight, but he simply wasn't a heavyweight.

I have little doubt he would have flattened Fury. Unfortunately you have to turn up to flatten any opponent. You can't do it through a press release.danamba7 wrote:Agree. Too fast, too powerful.

In fairness to Haye, he was injured. I bought tickets and lost money because of the cancellation, but I'm not angry at Haye, injuries are injuries.jamesmcdonnell wrote: I have little doubt he would have flattened Fury.
