    Taken out of context.

    I'd love to see it though, if the injuries have fully healed.

    Haha.


    “Haye told Behind The Gloves: 'The only one that I would do it for is the winner of AJ and Tyson Fury because that would be No1 vs No1.

    'That's probably the only one, but not really. It's a lot to go through.

    'I got my body in a good place right now, and I'm in a good place. All my injuries have healed up. There's been no hardcore training. I've been at home with my weights.'

    Before the two heavyweights meet, Joshua is due to fight Kubrat Pulev and Fury will likely have to negotiate a rematch against the Bronze Bomber.”

    No way his body would hold up in a proper camp and no way he’d be offered it without impressing in tune ups first. Not going to happen. It was a hypothetical question.

    you can’t be serious?

    he is 40 years old with numerous major surgery’s behind him and has fought 4 times in 8 years you could actually say twice in eight years the first two were a joke !

    lives clean? His body has had more injuries than probably ten fighters. He had had three major surgeries career ending surgeries you think he can comeback and compete with Joshua or Fury? At 40 plus as that’s the age he will be. He would get destroyed !!

    he showed in the Bellew rematch he is finished his timing and his speed had gone it had declined quite significantly from the first Bellew fight actually so imagine what we would see if this happened which it won’t , but just laughable you would like to see it!

    He was battered by Bellew in that second fight. Beaten to the punch and out manoeuvred. No way would that happen at that age unless his body was totally ****ed. He wouldn’t get through a camp because weights are no good, he’d need high intensity training.

    His biggest asset was speed and he has lost that with injuries and age

    I downloaded that Poker documentary (David.Vs.Goliath) and he acts like a right diva - treating those poker teachers like sh*t - pi*sing around on his phone and being late as f*ck.

    Also I remember Haye saying to Kugan in that sit down interview (first Fury press conference) ....about Fury...... saying this will be the last time he makes this kind of Hayemaker money..... always stuck in my head that one. When you think about it his £15 million purse wasn't much against Klitschko because 50% went to the tax man and Booth proabably took 25%. Haye never made it in America nor has Joshua.

    Tyson Furys name is being talked about in Barbershops around America & I think Wilder is a great dance partner to have.

    The leg would go again I reckon

    I’d pay to watch it though

    Haye was way quicker that AJ and it’s not as if Fury hits that hard. If I was Haye and I knew my body was up to it then why not

    Doubt it happens though

    I seem to be one of the few who actual rated Haye.

    He was an excellent fighter and achieved a hell of a lot more than he gets credit for, he is still a big name in the casual world and any fight he ever did would sell.

    His time was up well before Bellew though, Adam Booth knew the score hence the retire before 30 line he pushed for years, and although Tony should be proud of those wins its all a bit Williams/Tyson.

    He never got over the Klitschko loss nor the pathetic excuse afterwards.

    Surely was said tongue in cheek.

    He said later in the interview he’s not even sure a prime version of himself would beat them.

    Think it was taken a little out of context.

    Yeah. Instead of his toe hindering his movement it was Klitchkos bouncy castle ring
