David Haye will be too fast and slick for Anthony Joshua

Discussion in 'British Boxing Forum' started by Primal Pledge, Feb 1, 2016.


  1. Haye still has the reflexes and knockout power, that's all thats' needed to end Joshua.

    Haye is the hardest HW to hit because of his head movement and agility

    He's too fast, too powerful and he will make that juiced up stiff robot, malfunction.

    Even if haye was at 50% of what he use to be, he would still ruin that thing.

    But the scary thing is, this Haye is bigger, stronger, injury free and and STILL hits like a mule.

    "Haye still has the reflexes and knockout power, that's all thats' needed to end Joshua" - we don't know that

    "Haye is the hardest HW to hit because of his head movement and agility" - is he though?

    "He's too fast, too powerful and he will make that juiced up stiff robot, malfunction" - this is really a duplication of the first line

    We've absolutely no indication of what state he is in. The De Mori fight says nothing at all. If he is exactly as he was post retirement then I agree at this moment he beats Joshua but further down the line I'm leaning towards AJ if he can rectify his flaws

    Haye is smart. He is pushing for the Joshua fight now when he knows he can beat him. in a couple of years time it would be a different story

    He wants to be the one to end the Joshua hype

    He's an olympic gold medalist and amateur standout who is a year younger than the current heavyweight champion and ranked in the top ten of all the major governing bodies.

    Compared with a lot of his opponents and rivals, he has a wealth of experience. I'm not sure where this 'AJ is still only a prospect' nonsense is coming from. You can't be talking about taking on eliminators and then describe yourself as a prospect. He's a contender now and has no excuses as to why he shouldn't be stepping up. He should only be fighting top ten guys from here on out and with guys like Di Mori (previously) and Lucas Browne in the top ten that's hardly a big ask.

    Those who think Haye can do a dance for a few months with the paddy's, knock out a bloke who doesn't even really call himself a boxer, then step in with an Olympic Champion who is a physical monster and knock him out have well and truly boarded and enjoying first class on the old Haye Hype Express, destined for failsville with no return ticket available. Joshua would box clever, keep him at range then when the time is right start throwing those bombs behind the jab and Haye either runs for the rest of his fight and blames the death of his 2nd cousins gold fish afterwards or steps up and gets the Carl Thompson treatment
     
  6. :lol:

    What jab?

    Have you watched Joshua fight, he doesn't know how to utlise the jab to it's full potential.

    He's no master boxer either, you need footwork for that. Putting togother nice combinations and throwing bombs is only one side of the job.

    Haye is a two time world champion and has been in the ring with superior opposition, has much more explosive power, and the better ring I.Q

    This socalled olympic 'monster' of yours, went life and death with a slob suffering with gyne. And you think he can handle haye, he's gonna get violated, I promise you.

    I just don't agree with anything you've said and you are the very person I describe, feel free to chastise me in the unlikely event that I'm wrong, but I won't be, that's a nailed on certainty.
