Not that big a size difference between Haye and Joshua?

    Not an enormous difference.
    Haye is about 6'3 and is a bit heavier these days than he used to be.

    Haye would have AJ out of there inside 6 rounds. Haye has power along with speed and accuracy.

    Haye would have known AJ was going to be there and they would ask for pictures and might be wearing heels :lol: Klitschko style :yep

    Haye has to prove he has still got it before i say he beats Joshua. How can you judge him on the last 2 fights?

    Because speed has been his main weapon, even though the opponents were bums, you can see the blistering speed was still there and physically he looks in tremendous shape and ripped.

    Thing about Haye is he actively avoids any real "tests" and looks for the quickest and easiest route to the big payday which is Joshua.
    Don't expect to see him in there with an Ortiz, Povetkin, Pulev. He'll fight old man Briggs, an easy win. Then make a few quid in eating up Bellew, setting up Joshua for next summer.

    If anything I thought he looked a little overweight and not as quick/elusive as 4-5 years ago, I would personally like to see him trim 10ibs off to hopefully regain some speed and become sharper

    Agreed. Bulk will do Haye no favours.

    Joshua mugs him at this point. The Haye of 5 years ago blitzes Joshua though imo

    What the one that did nothing vs Wlad and blamed his toe?

    Yup.

    A prime Wlad is a far cry from the current Joshua.

    It'd be my pick bro, thats all. I just don't think the current Joshua is all that well rounded - he still has a lot to learn. The talents there though and I reckon he'll mature nicely.

    Camera angle is from below so the height discrepancy is not as obvious, but even then there's only 3 inches in difference and both are muscular guys and Joshua doesn't have the widest shoulders either so he has less actual mass than you'd expect when clothed.
