    Well it stands to reason one would think that considering Joshua was a novice.

    No surprise there is it

    Eh? Hearn and sky will be delighted. He would love to put on Haye v Joshua probably not until next summer which is obviously sky PPV and would be the biggest box office show in the history of British boxing - fast eddies cut would be huge

    Did I say it was a surprise? And no, there are a plethora of uninformed casuals and legitimate boxing fans who think Joshua would destroy Haye.

    I think you mean this summer? I don't see Hearn biting, he'd make a few mil but his guy's fledgling career might never recover.

    Would never be this year

    Another year of them both winning fights. Then a mega fight in 2017.

    Would be a potentially dangerous move if this match up is made. Haye could easily ruin Joshua.

    Haye should have another tune up but against better opposition.

    The issue here is that Sky see Joshua as the golden boy- wouldn't they rather take the IBF route and string out Joshua's fights on PPV before the Haye fight?

    Difficult to see Sky/Hearn risking the fight before 2017- I mean who has Hearn got to sell his PPVs if Joshua gets sparked? Kell Brook?

    I hope Haye trawls like him like he did Wlad, Haye is very good at "media work."

    Tbf to cutthroat they did swerve haye at one point. Hearn pretty much said himself it was too dangerous at fight for Joshua at the stage he was at. Somewhere along the lines I reckon they found out the extent of Hayes injuries. How much it was a moneygrab he was after and decided bellew was available.

    Almost everyone thought haye was gonna decapilate bellew in a round. For some reason tony and hearn did not think that was gonna be the outcome. I wonder why. Hearn not usually up for fights that risky. When his fighters chances are rated at about five percent. I still say prime or close to prime haye had the perfect style for Joshua. He probably wasn't big enough tbf. And the current version is pretty much an injured man trying to fight.
