if the fight were made today, who wins?

Joshua

David Haye hasn't had a fight in four years.... so he might be a bit rusty when he finally comes back.

Joshua has had one "fight" in 4 years, and that guy was injured at the end. It would be a close fight if it happened, would probably go for Joshua, but its a hard one to call.

Massive fan of Haye. Boxed for the Fitzroy Lodge myself when he was there. Got a selfie with him at the NEC last Saturday and exchanged a few words.

BUT AJ takes him. David is fighting utter jokes and there is a reason he is being so ultra selective.

Oh and I am not even on the AJ bandwagon

Haye's opponents say it all. He is evidently low on appetite and self-belief. Joshua squashes him - ideally by horrific, Khan-esque KO.

Joshua would win, but it doesn't matter. Haye would sprain his vagina and pull out of the fight a few weeks before the fight. I don't know why anybody would bother scheduling him for a big matchup. We all know this is how it always ends with Haye.

"Oh my back"
"Oh my shoulder"
"Oh my Toe"

Something

I expect Haye vs Joshua to be scheduled some time in the next year or two, but I think there's a 60% chance it won't happen anyhow.

Voted Haye purely with heart to be honest.

Come on I can't be the only poster who would get a buzz off Joshua getting Kod.

Hallings reaction , Hearns etc etc

agreed
although I do see Haye being able to catch Joshua, similar to Whyte and if he does I doubt AJ is getting up...

Joshua is too static for Haye. Haye won't stand in front of him waiting to be KO'd.

Can Joshua keep the pace chasing Haye around? I don't think so.

Will a Hayemaker eventually land on AJ's chin? How will he react?

Saying that, if AJ catches Haye it's game over. Can't see him catching him though. He only caught Whyte because he was knackered.

Whyte vs Haye would be more telling for me. Anybody agree?

Haye for me atm

Whyte vs. Haye would be a fun fight but it would kill a potential AJ foe off, can't see it happening...

Haye is all wrong for AJ. Haye wins by KO inside 4. Joshua wouldn't have came up against anything like Haye even in the ams or sparring. If I was Hearn I would stay well clear of Haye.

Why would Tommy Hearns be bothered?

You know who I mean

Let's at least wait til Haye is in shape.

Joshua hasn't fought a world class opponent yet & Haye hasn't fought someone with a pulse since 2012 & was inactive most of the time since.

I'd like to see Haye in with someone who might actually hit him back before predicting.

Likewise Joshua, but to a lesser degree.

AJ showed against Whyte that he can ride a storm, but Whyte is not a world class opponent, so the jury is still out for me.

which way do you lean today though? That's the question...

Why? Watching Haye get knocked out is exactly what I'd want out of a fight with him and Joshua.

Hayes gotta beat Dillian Whyte first

OK, if forced, my head says Haye, because I just feel he would be too elusive for the more static Joshua.

Gallagher also thought Quigg would beat Frampton, he is an over opinionated wanker...

Before last night I thought Haye would KO Joshua if they fought in the next 12 months. After seeing him last night he isn't in the same shape he used to be, too bulked up, and his leg movement isn't the same. I'm leaning towards Joshua now by hellacious KO.

Haye. Too quick, athletic and powerful for Joshua. Haye WILL land properly on Joshua and he has the power to get the KO.

Joshua too slow and one dimensional for Haye.
