    Both seem to be into making negotiations for fights such an ongoing drawn out saga that by the time the fight actually happens (if it does) a lot of people are just sick and tired of it and just want it over and done with.

    How was Haye overrated when winning WBA WBC WBO Ring CW titles and the WBA HW title all within something like 24 fights. Often as the away fighter.
    Or Joshua in winning WBA WBO IBF HW titles against 3 different fighters

    Just curious to how you draw the conclusion and interested for you to tell me who isnt overrated in your opinion and why

    You're absolutely right mate. Fair play. Before Haye fought Wlad I thought he was a 6ft10 brawler with a 96 inch reach and Forman-like power in both hands. I guess hindsight really is 20-20.

    Except Vitali won most of the rounds he fought, Wilder gets out boxed by virtual nobodies and relies on his power bailing him out.

    No. This generations Vitaly? God no. Prime Haye and Klitschko beat Wilder everyday of the week.

    Haye is 37. Wilder is 32-33

    Does a “generation” separate them when they are 4-5 years apart in age?

    People seem to forget Wilder is as old as he is.

    The guy is going to be ready to retire due to aging process before he fights AJ

    I was going to say no..but when you put it that way. Yes! The big different is that Haye is a draw but Wilder is not.

    it takes a couple of decades for fashion to make it into alabama culture, there should be a huge demand in birmingham and mobile for skinny jeans around 2030.

    Wilders already done something which David Haye hasn’t at HW, that was take on a top name. Hayes run at HW was disappointing, the only live opponent he fought was Wlad and we know how that turned out.

    David Haye in his prime would have knocked out Wilder back to Alabama.
