    How are you gauging where Haye is at? He has fought one completed round and two partial rounds in 51 months.

    Think it'll be Briggs. What a farce that'll be. Why are people talking about Klitschko-Joshua like it's a done deal? Do you all know something I don't? I really can't see that fight happening.

    Joshua's got the Manchester Arena booked for November 26 and Haye says he'll be back on December 10 at a venue yet to be announced, so it's highly unlikely that they'll be fighting each other.

    Hearn has already said the November 26th date might blow out, and in all likelyhood it will.

    Outcomes from the various meetings relative to Tyson Fury, his titles and his boxing licence, will still take another week or two to sort themselves out and until that happens things are likely to remain in limbo.

    I would say it is 70% Browne for WBA regular belt with Oquendo taking a payday to stand aside for a bit.

    My other 30% would be on 20% AJ, 6% briggs 4% random taxi driver.

    Haye is not getting any younger, time is wasting, he needs to either get back into training and fight anyone to keep sharp................

    And Parker quietly waits...while AJ stays humble.

    Doubt it is Briggs but it'll be interesting to see who broadcasts the fight- would Sky finally show Haye again?

    Exactly. That's why it would be 100% wrong to assume he beats guys we're sure he would have beaten if it were 2011 or 2012 still.
    Age, 'career-ending' injuries, added weight, few rounds of action ..... the likelihood is he's slipped significantly.
    Can't see much from the last two 'fights' as you right point out, but he did look heavy-legged and lacking upper-body mobility too, probably from the obvious factors already mentioned.

    It would be 100% wrong to assume anything until we see what Haye has got.

    Exactly, that's why I said "maybe".

    We do make assumptions all the time though. We often assume X will beat Y based on all their previous form.
    I tend to assume everyone ages too, no one stays young forever.
    We assume the sun will come up tomorrow, etc.

    No coincidence Dustin Nicholls has announced a ring return imo.

    Must be Haye v Ortiz then.
