    Seems like they both want to keep busy. It's a legit fight for both of em that would probably do good numbers.
    Its better than Stiverne vs Wilder 2.
    Its a legit test for Wilder.
    What am I missing?

    Haye is an overrated over-the-hill has-been.

    But Wilder is looking for someone easier.

    :rofl:lol::rofl:lol::rofl

    Wilder's people wouldn't let him anywhere near Haye - as rusty as Haye is, he'd shatter that fragile mandible Wilder's packing into a million pieces.:deal

    Haye isn't really keen on fighting his way back up. he's looking for a big cashout and Wilder at the moment isn't that guy. Haye doesn't expect to win just get paid.

    Haye knows better.

    Wilder is just a bad stylistic match up for him. He's better off fighting someone like Anthony Joshua or Parker.

    I think Haye would take the fight straight away, I also think Wilder would. But the people behind Wilder would not take that fight unless they really really had to to not have the belt taken away from them. Just like they had to do with Povetkin.

    Haye would KO Wilder in one, just like he did in sparring.

    Wilders management get a heart attack when Haye's name is mentioned.

    haye is way too dangerous for wilder. Too fast on his feet and explosive, he would absolutely destroy deontay maybe even worse than povetkin would. Deontay has no inside game, doesn't even know how to tie his man up. Haye would explode on the inside with combos, beyonce is not used to that kind of hand speed.

    I made a thread about this a couple of days ago. Makes so much sense for both men. Wilder still needs an acid test, Haye could do with a bargaining chip to catalyse the AJ fight and it'd be a good payday for both compared to their last few fights. Plus it would mean all four HW belts would be held by Brits.

    Winner winner Canelo dinner.

    It seems more of a "Haye is looking for easy fights until a big Joshua payday" and "Wilders team has 0% faith in him".....It's a shame because I think this would be an absolutely dynamite fight.
