Comments Thread For: Hearn: The Focus For Joshua is a World Title, Not David Haye

Haye at this point would flatten Joshua out.

A May return for Haye? He won in less than a round without taking a single notable punch! He should be out again much sooner like late March, he's 35, with no time to waste. But if he waits until May it needs to be an eliminator or solid top 10 opponent. I'm guessing he'll end up going for Martin or the Chagaev/Browne winner eventually.

Whyte gave Joshua problems in the ring. I have no doubt Haye can do the same and more even at this stage of his career. Joshua's footwork isn't that good and Haye will take advantage of that.

AJ’s in an awkward position now. Although he KO’d Whyte, he showed a vulnerability that we hadn’t seen before. Hearn has to be careful who he matches AJ with for the next couple of fight… somebody who can test AJ’s chin, but not too much. There aren’t many Heavweights out there that match the requirement. David Haye for all his faults is too risky. I reckon we’ll see AJ against David Price sometime soon. Hearn might even try to talk Fraudly Harrison into coming out of retirement.

No surprises. Haye is all wrong for Joshua, especially at this point in Joshau's career. Haye would spark him if they fought right now. Hopefully Haye will actually work his way into contention the old fashioned way rather than talking his way into a big fight.

Another coward ducking the Hayemaker Oh jesus :lol1:

It's common sense ...why fight Haye when your number 2 contender for wilders belt or ur lined up for a shot at the IBF ...most of you guys don't have a brain cell between you if you think Joshua is gonna fight before he has a world title shot....it's a risky fight and why ruin it when you can win the title and if Haye is up there at the top have a big massive fight at Wembley stadium say summer 2017......honestly some of you guys on here don't have idea what's a good move and what's a bad move .....Joshua , Haye and fury are big summer world title fights for sure

Haye can get in line like everyone else. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

Hearn knows Haye is the worst style match-up. He could get a world title from a couple of very average opponents, while on the other hand he could easily get blasted out early against Haye.

biblical could not go 3 rounds with hay and hearn well knows it but biblical vs hay is far to easy for hay who he needs to fight is the real king kong lets see what hay really has left

The underlying message here...which is quite true....is that Poshua will never get to a world title if he fights Haye. Good thing Poshua's people are not only realistic but arent trying to pull an Andre Ward claiming they want to fight the best then fighting their Barber's assistant.
