Can Haye tackle Joshua?

[paulf]

Joshua is nowhere near ready, if he'll ever be. Haye brutally KOs him if they fight this year, period.

Haye would murderize him.

Dont understand how people keep saying Joshua isnt Ready. This is a division where Charles martin & Deontay Wilders are champions and Duhapaus is considered a legit challenge. It isnt exactly muderers row

Haye is 35 and a small, blown up heavyweight who has been inactive for 4 years so it's an excellent test for Joshua before he dabbles in the world title fights and if Haye wins it's also a great gate way for him to get into the mix, beating Joshua won't be easy for anyone. The fight would also be MASSIVE and the winner would carry tremendous hype.

Maybe that last part is just in my own head, I'd love this fight.

Due to hayes decent defense at heavyweight, good head movement, can move around the ring and ability to counter and finish opponents in devastating fashion id say yes he would destroy Joshua in fashion........but going only one round against a low tier heavyweight still leaves some questions, in his prime yes he'd wipe Joshua out once he landed on him.

Hopefully in May he fights a decent HW so we can see him go a few rounds, here are the main questions:

- with the extra weight can he maintain a pace for a 12 round fight? he already has shown he fades in the middle rounds at a lower weight (maybe lose 5-7lbs?)

- can he perform the way he did against demori at the higher levels? Joshua would have probably dispatched demori too maybe not as early though.

The power is there no doubt about it and i liked how he used his jab to set up shots and he countered very fast and destructively so we know he can still finish someone when they are hurt.

Haye certainly wants the fight but Eddie Hearn will wait to see a major dent in hayes armour before having them 2 fight i guarantee it.

Haye's speed and body punching is what does Joshua in and yes Haye can **** like a real HW. Look back at the fight with Whyte, Joshua really, and I mean really, didn't like those body shots. Haye will have this big gorilla gassed within 3 rounds and gone within 5. Haye is actually a much better technician than many give him credit for.

I hope the fight happens though as it would be MASSIVE for the HW division, a division that i think is heating up. Betcha dollars to donuts though no way does Hearn let his cash cow get in with Haye until is absolutely necessary and I can't say I blame him.

All of Hayes best wins that made people aware how good hate is I think josh would have did just as well. The despatching of enzo mc, audrery Harrison and Ruiz or anyone else you vcare to mention.

Make no mistake about it the thread title is the right way. Is hate ready for josh?

Joshua would put Haye on ***** street right now.

David Haye is a pu$$y. One look at Joshua in the ring and Haye would **** his pants.

He's scared of big men.

[KeyboardWarrior]

Joshua isn't ready for Haye at all. And for Haye to call out Joshua is ludicrous

Gotta laugh.

Haye looked good against some Aussie bum ranked 150th in the world and now he's back to being a killer. If we judged boxers on how they look beating up bums, Shannon Briggs would be world champion.
