Comments Thread For: David Haye: Anthony Joshua is The Fight I Want, What Fans Want

[Ratchet]

Joshua loses if he takes that fight right now.

From what I've seen, he doesn't have enough head-movement, needs to tighten up his defense (especially when he's punching) and is still learning how to pace himself. Let him get into a fight where he actually makes it to double-digit rounds.

His best opponent is an undefeated guy that didn't beat anybody...just sayin'.

Seems like a money move to me for Haye. He knocks out a guy that I never heard of before this fight and instantly wants to jump into the big fights. This would be a low risk, high reward situation (Joshua always has a punchers chance but that's it right now).

Would the British public be interested in a Parker vs Haye fight?
Just genuinely interested because I'm sure the NZ public would love it and I'm assuming the Brits would love to see Haye KO Parker. I imagine it would be a big money fight too.
Haye knocking out one of the hottest prospects would be huge for Hayes resurgence.

i think my man is going for tony josh now while hes still wet round the earoles if im being honest, dont do it just yet. let it build by beating the ***** first.

Nobody knows who Parker is over here.

No way does hearn let Joshua anywhere near Haye. Haye would spark him. Joshua isn't ready.

Trying to catch Joshua early lol.He knows Joshua is still raw.Joshua needs at least 18 month before he's ready for that type of fight.I'd pick Haye to knock Joshua out right now,but if it's further down the line then i'd pick Joshua.

My reasoning for picking Haye for a knockout is Joshua's head movement is non-existant,he leaves his chin high in the air when pulling back and he always backs up in straight lines

Spot on that is correct, haye can see he has a chance now hes green but if joshua fights a couple in the top 10 then haye hasnt got a chance in hell.

Even so, i did not see anything to say haye has improved or still has his speed in his last fight. Joshua is hungry and that could be enough to beat haye. This is a very chance fight tbh.

Haye will de-Turd this dude in 5 rounds. I dont care who has the belts. Haye is the only one who is down to fight them all.

Except Fury multiple times, the guy is a fraud, you must be a weirdo to even be a fan of his.

Agree completely.What i'm interested to see is if Haye can still move around the ring with that extra stone on him.His punch output/stamina wasn't that great when he was 15st so the jury is still out.

I want you guys to think about something. Anthony joshiua has got to be ready cause hes ranked number 2 by 2 organisations. joseph parker is right behind him ranked. Its time to put up or shut up cause there will be dangerous fights coming his way anyway....

True but the rankings aren't always reliable IMO. I gave an example earlier that as soon as Khan stepped up to welterweight the WBC ranked him at #2 even though he had never fought there. There are always agendas at play, usually financial.

No doubt Joshua should be looking to take on the best in his quest to become a title holder BUT as for any fighter there is a level of development needed and stepping up gradually is the way to do it.
