Is it pretty much over for him? I'd like to think he has a chance of getting back to the top. He got a lot of flack for his performance against Wlad, but as the Bellew fight showed he's injury prone and wasn't faking as most claim when he fought Wlad. Skill wise, I rate him higher than all current HWs. Luck hasn't served him well, and he could have been potentianlly a top 10 IMHO, he's athletically gifted. If he focuses, who knows...what chance do you all give him?
Haye's only goal is to get that final payday against Joshua.
Prime Haye was a beast though. People underrate him because of that clinic Klitschko put on him but that was pretty much the best version of Wlad.
The Wladimir Kiltschko that fought David Haye would of beaten Anthony Joshua! I actually think both Haye & Kiltschko from that era would of stopped Joshua in the late rounds! I have stated this many times before? Anthony Joshua is the sophisticated version of Frank Bruno! Take him past 5 rounds, and he become static.
Infact Bruno was only static in the latter part of his career, when he gain too much nonfunctional muscle mass etc
Anthony Joshua is like superman for the first 4-5 rounds, but then his powers start to decrease in my opinion.

Haye could easily beat Parker imo, he's not beating Fury, Joshua, or Wilder at this stage of his career but he could beat either WBO champ Parker or WBA (World) title
If he proves himself to be "back" against Bellew then i believe he beats Parker and Wilder..and could seriously test AJ (but most probably be too small for him)
He could potentially beat Wilder, but unlikely.
He would get crushed by AJ.
I even think Parker beats him at this point... is only chance at a hw title was a Charles Martin type fight but that ain't happening
That version of Haye might smash Wilder, I'd agree. His level of speed and power along with his movement were a big challenge for other HW's. Unfortunately he's a shot fighter now.
Hopefully he comes back at least 90%. Haye is my favorite Heavyweight still but Wilder is closing in fast.

When he beats Tony Bellew, he will probably ether face Jospeh Parker or Deontay Wilder!
(I think his chances are high, he is the second-third biggest draw in heavyweight boxing still!)...
Haye is one dimensional against a remotely decent tall fighter, too faded to beat Parker imo but has enough to beat Bellew.
The odds are stacked against him man, not the same fighter he was and all the current champs are better than anyone he has beaten at heavyweight.
No chance at all.
His career ended at the Klitschko fight.
Too small, to physically fragile, too bisexual.
lol@bisexual you don't think he stands a chance against AJ or Wilder then?
