    I don't believe that AJ could beat Haye now but I think that everyone including Haye believes that he has all the tools to go very far indeed.
    They are half a generation apart really similar to Froch and Calzaghe.

    No he's too slow, stiff, heavy-muscled and narrow-stanced to deal with Haye's explosive athleticism and elusiveness.

    Haye would run rings around him.

    He wouldn't be able to hit Haye due to Hayes ability to not get hit, and with Joshuas recklessness would get sparked out

    Weird you put Frank Bruno in there but not Tyson Fury. I'm not a Fury fan but think he beats Bruno all day long.

    why do people bang on about AJ natural athleticism because where im sitting he looks pretty stiff and upright with little movement Haye is what I call natural athletic..

    Both of they are mediocre, if we're honest.
    AJ is a complete novice, and Haye's a former-paper-champion who has not fought in 3 years.

    Haye would win easily. Complete mismatch

    If anyone watches the skelton fight you will see AJ's defence is very poor and leaves himself wide open when he throws jabs and overhands.

    He's a KO waiting to happen and I will bet anyone that it's only a matter of time before he's exposed.

    Talk of fightin haye in whatever shape he's in is just ridiculous.

    Haye would have a field day setting traps and landing haye makers at will

    Joshua defence makes Chisora look like Lennox Lewis

    People think Haye is coming back.
    IF he does .... and that's a colossal "IF" .. I reckon he'd choose a softer opponent than AJ even.

    Three years out - with injuries - is a pretty big deal, guys.
