If Klitschko beats AJ, will Haye then call him out?

AJ can't fight like a fury though. At least not that we've ever seen from him. Not a valid comparison.

The real question imo is if Aj hasn't landed and hurt VLAD early does he have a different look to show the wily old VET. He looks one dimensional albeit an effective dimension to date against c level opposition.

If VLAD can weather the early storm and protect that chin and tie up the come forwards destroyer, I think he has overcome enough styles from enough champions over the years to start landing that big one two and the left hook he throws so well which Joshua looks EXTREMELY open for.

I see the old man old manning the kid and showing once again that boxing is about levels.

VLAD via KO is my hunch given AJ is packing China and has questionable stamina. Smart money is probably VLAD via cautious UD

 

I think it will sell more than Brook GGG to be honest. Brook aint half the name David Haye is in the UK. And Bellew is obvious far better known in the UK than GGG.

It's a domestic heavyweight clash with 'bad blood'. Make no mistake about it, this will sell very well and will outdo Brook GGG I believe.

Don't forget GGG was better paid than Brook too. I'd imagine Haye is getting equal or even the bigger slice of the pie here as he's the much bigger name. Don't think it's beyond the realms of possibility that Haye could bank up to 5 mil for this one.

 

I agree that Haye will make a few million from this & that he is the bigger name in boxing circles...but to the casual fans who will buy this package, the bigger name is surely Tony Bellew?

There were tons of players who were better than Vinnie Jones but to the casual fan, he'd be a bigger name to a casual fan than his more successful peers such as Paul Ince, David Platt, Paul Gascoigne due to his movies.

Beyond boxing, Haye carries little selling power. He 'used' to be our most exciting knockout artist. AJ now sits on that pedestal.
