Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn: David Haye vs. Anthony Joshua is Inevitable

[hugh grant]

Some sayjosh would win. Some think haye would? Let's find out later this year. I was down when fury v haye didn't happen.. But this one is nearly as appealing!

AJ In the future, maybe. Right now Hate would win well inside the distance.

I'm sure josh thinks he'd beat haye now. Lots of people were supposed to be able to test josh but crumbledthe first punch josh landed. I was dsure Skelton, sprott and Johnson would test him but didnt

[Hayehammer]

forget joshua for now, let's have haye vs martin, it annoys me to see fake champ at HW

The question is will martin want to fight haye? Haye does bring money but will martin risk it? Joshua vs haye should happen this year.

any of the top 50 is risk to martin, guy has no talent, not charismatic, I bet haymon has no plan milking that belt from him cos i'll be damned

Haye vs joshua can happen at the end of the year

Haye is extremely talented and would with a couple more fights easily deal with the likes of wider,Martin or povetkin i reckon...we have already seen clips of haye handling wilder quite easy ..but Joshua is only improving ...it's ok saying your gunning for Joshua but when you step in the ring against a beast like Joshua you also have to be prepared to take some monster blows....haye vs Joshua end of this year or September is a brilliant fight which could go either way in my opinion but I see something in Joshua and we can all talk what we're gonna do but doing it is whole new ball game......by the end of 2016 they should have met if not....then how proud are we british that we possess 3 heavyweights who will be ranked in the top 5 ...maybe even the 3 best in the world...good time to be English I reckon lol....War English

Haye is a good boxer but the lay off could affect him...I want to watch Haye vs Dillian Whyte first before Haye vs Joshua.

AJ said he isn't ready for Haye yet after the Dillian Whyte fight. He's 100% correct. Haye is experienced at the very top level... many levels above where AJ's been so far. Experience is what matters in fights like this. AJ will face Haye and will probably win, but not for a couple of years yet. He's far too green. If he gets hit by Haye like he did against Whyte the lights will go out. Hearn has also said that fight is for the future, not now.

That said, Hearn will love this. Haye is a massive self promoter and they can build this into a huge Wembley Stadium fight for the summer 2017/18 depending on how AJ performs against increasingly more respected opposition.

The Dillian Whyte fight taught us that AJ can come through a scare and win impressively, but there was still a scare. Hearn will talk a lot about fighting Haye, but it won't happen for a long while yet. Look at how much he's talked about Brook fighting the like of Thurman.

Team Joshua might not think haye is the route too being a champ and that is the reason haye isn't on his immediate radar. But hard to say he isn't ready for haye? Haye said he himself is 3 or4 fights away from a title as well.

Just cos josh got hit don't mean haye would win. If haye was favourite is that not allowed? But the fight might have to wait till 2017. But who knows if circumstances have changed and its not made?

I hate Haye and like Joshua, but AJ isn't ready for this fight yet. Haye has too much experience and workrate at this point. Another year or two might be a different story..
