Anthony Joshua would have destroyed Prime David Haye

A prime David Haye would have knocked out Joshua.

 

No, that was not Haye from 2010

 

Styles make fights, a prime fit Haye would KO AJ and I am a AJ fan.

 

Don't think it's as clear cut as most people seem to think. I'd be interested to see how well AJ takes a big shot from Haye. He could bang and was lightening quick.

 

An Adam Booth David Haye would have been a hard fight for Joshua. Would expect AJs size to pay off though.

Haye was a decent fighter though, got the most of his frame and paid the price later on in his career.

 

Haye would certainly pose AJ problems. Good upper body movemet, good power even at heavy and the guy was a finisher. When you were hurt it was nearly always fight over.

Problem is i'm not sure he would be durable enough to stand up to AJ.. He fought negative on the back foot V Wald and didn't engage he was surpised by Wlad's footspeed - AJ is slower in that regard not as light on his feet so that might give Haye openings.

But I don't see Haye getting up from the shot that put Ruiz down so i'd say AJ would win but would be a fun fight.

 

Joshua has been seriously hurt against Whyte, 41 year old Wlad and Ruiz where he was finished. Prime Haye absolutely has a great chance against Joshua only am idiot would think otherwise. Not a walkover fight for Joshua by any means...

 

Haye had fast hands and was more explosive with his movements than Ruiz I'm not sure what you're talking about. Also hit much harder than Ruiz. Joshua has walked into counter shots by much lesser fighters than Haye like Whyte. Had Haye been in that situation Joshua wouldn't have escaped the round.

 

No smash
