    Haye, one of only three men to step up from undisputed cruiser and win an Heavyweight title.
    So, what's the result if Haye had stepped up to fight AJ?

    What now Or back in the day ? Back then Haye has a decent chance of KO in AJ . Now his leg would probably fall off

    David never had the faith in his punch resistance at heavyweight that Usyk does and has nowhere near Usyk's engine. Still, he had fast, powerful hands, and anybody with those attributes would have had a shout against Joshua. You'd not put a lot of money on either of them.

    Joshua would have beaten Haye decisively.

    Yes Haye was a dangerous puncher, but he would not beat Joshua, with the kind of tactics that he used against Valuev and Klitschko.

    Have is nowhere near as skilled as Usyk. He likely loses to Joshua 8-9 times out of 10. (And, gets a lucky KO win once or twice)

    Probably loses 7-5 or 8-4, but maybe not. He did have a much easier time with Chisora than Usyk did.

    A prime Haye would badly hurt Joshua, who still doesn't move his head, leaves himself way too open, and he doesn't throw enough punches for me to see him keeping Haye honest. Unlike Usyk, who took advantage of Joshua's mistakes and racked up points Haye would've jumped right on Joshua and bombed him out.

    As Joshua gets more experience I'm sure he'll keep improving, but for now a prime Haye is bad news for Joshua.

    Haye is good. Not as good as Usyk but you don't need to be as good as Usyk to beat AJ...

    I would non-ironically enjoy watching Valuev facing the current superheavyweight Big Three. Nikolay wasn't as bad as he's made out. Solid, technically adequate boxer, and slow enough that I could follow what he was doing. Very considerate that way, was Sugar.

    Memeber 2041 I am going to need to see your licence to post. What do you mean non ironically? “Wasn’t as bad as he’s made out to be” he’s the greatest SHW to lace them up.

    Never forget mercy isn’t his strong point he was said to make an attempt to devour Haye alive at the after party like an anaconda.

    Yes he was very considerate was big Val. He hated people not seeing his Demon speed punches coming thru, so, he slowed em right down, I mean, reaaaaaaaly slooooow.
