Who would have won? I see Haye giving Joshua trouble with his speed, and he could very well have knocked Joshua out.
Could have gone either way but AJ too big and strong for Hate I think. Haye could have been a good heavyweight in previous eras when he wouldn't have been so outmatched
Though AJ beat a 41 year old Wlad that an injured and immobile Haye took 12 rounds when Wlad was 6 years younger, I believe Joshua would certainly have been a live dog. Haye was probably faster, had enough power to hurt him and was a better boxer. A healthy Haye would probably win on point.
If you need a good laugh have a look at Haye's resume... I've heard people say his resume is good based on absolutely nothing... His best win is arguably Valuev/Chisora. I'll give him the toe excuse against Wlad though.. Seems fairly believable but also that fight was terrible and Wlad should have been discqualifed the glass chinned clincher
This. Joshua’s head just doesn’t move enough for me to see him not getting stopped. Haye before the injuries had fast hands.
I liked Haye, but he talked a much better game than he fought and getting up to heavyweight size ruined his body and caused him injury after injury. He'd have been live for a bit then AJ would have taken over and KOd.
Haye would run and not engage. That isn’t how you beat a Heavyweight like AJ. Did anyone on here not learn from the Valuev and Wlad fights? Haye was all talk. He would probably get ‘injured’ and pull out anyway.
