    Say Haye made a comeback and went back down to 200lbs. What impact would KOing Bellew (David loves that domestic match up money) and Glowwacki and beating Lebedev have on his legacy?

    would improve but he is cash and fame greedy and doing that at cruiserweight wouldnt make him as relevant in the public eye, unlike boxing Joshua

    I think he'd struggle to make cruiser now and wouldn't hold the same advantages he used to.

    I think a lot of this depends on Haye's bank balance.

    No one knows how much money he has stashed away from his boxing career. What we do know is that he not going to make it as an actor, or whatever else, so he could potentially be tempted back to boxing.

    I never saw Haye as a HW, he has always been a natural CW & a world class CW at that. I think he could definitely do superbly again at CW if fit, and even if the fights were only a maximum of 350k a piece...surely that would be worth his while?

    He is still a natural CW weight wise, he has to blow himself up to be at 210 to 220. He is naturally at 195-200 & and he finds it really easy to be at that weight...it fits him like a glove and he bangs like a mule at that weight too.:D

    He must have been gutted to get that cut just before the Fury fight. Million pound payday for light work.

    Yes too many pull outs, in too short of a space of time...he lost credibility as a result.

    Really risky fight for AJ if he has anything left as he can punch with both hands and has the speed to get off on bigger opponents. The Haye of 5 years ago would do much, much better against current Wlad who is definitely slipping IMO.

    Depends how you define natural weight. According to booth haye would come in at around 215lbs on fight night at cruiser.

    The Haye of 4 years ago ran like a fanny from Wlad and was only in it for the money.

    The result would be the same with or without the toe.

    Who mentioned the toe as affecting Haye's performance? I'm just saying I think that Haye would have more success against the Wlad that Jennings fought as Wlad has in my opinion slipped considerably since then. He's not a young man anymore and it's beginning to show.

    Would haye fight as timidly against this older version of Wlad? Maybe, maybe not.

    Yes,he would.
    Its in his makeup to fight like that as can be seen by his amazing all action tear up against that other ATG HW stiff Valuev.
