    Anyone else think Hayes gonna make it an excuse to come back. They,ll try and do their own shows. Haye headlining against demori,s freeing up money to get decent opponents in for Joyce. Joyce alone will struggle to sell. Hayes name will still count to some.

    Haye against another nobody will do well to sell out the copperbox. His sales were so good originally because people thought he still had it. Now he’s officially washed up it’s over for him.

    I think you might be surprised. Hayes definitely finished and a large number will leave in droves...but there will still be people willing to pay to go see him. Most probably the London crowd.

    I think he will retire tbh...but wouldn't surprise me if he justifys carrying on under the guise of helping Joyce out. Not manys going to see Joyce fight...add haye to the card. Between them I think it could be enough to get them where Joyce wants to go.

    I think the only way it works is if Haye had a farewell fight. Says to the fans get down I’m gona knockout a can one last time, tickets are reasonable and I’m going to put JJ in a big fight on there too. Even then I doubt Haye still has the support.

    He was also stopped by another fighter who's name escapes me but unlike Kuzmin it was a lucky shot, a hail mary and the fighter delivering it was noone of note.

    Nistor stopped Joshua and Romanov stopped Wilder, they've all got skeletons.

    In fairness he looked alright, wouldn’t have been stopped in the pros...also looks about half the size he is now ha

    I think he’s a good fighter but my god he’s boring. By comparison Joshua seems positively charismatic and genuine compared to Joyce. That won’t help with promoting him.

    I think they’re marketing him very badly on social media. There’s this awful ‘big Juggernaught’ rap song that someone’s recorded which is very cringey and his social media team keep using it whenever possible.

    Joyce vs. Chisora

    Shame D-Boy didn't take the fight for May 5th cos it would be one hell of a slugfest.

    Fair play to Joyce for wanting to fight everyone, but he needs some direction.

    I'd try and fight the winner of Sexton/Fury. Then the Kabayal for the European.

    Then start to take on the Whyte's, Chisora's etc.

    Have to say I’d back Joyce against Whyte...looked great against an overweight plodder...but dave Allen took him 12 and he looked in trouble against a shot to **** helenius the fight before...

    Like Bellew, took on Browne at the right time...

    Was starting to warm to Whyte but he’ll never achieve anywhere near as much as Haye...should have a bit of respect...

    Whyte has had delusions of grandeur his whole career
