Comments Thread For: Haye Could Possibly Land Joshua-Klitschko Winner, Says IBF

[iamboxing]

I see Haye as a hybrid of AJ and Klitschko....power + boxing IQ. I do believe he beats them both. I follow him on twitter and his latest photos are of a hungry, well toned machine ready to pummel anyone they put in front of him.

That's the thing though , that's what he does . He builds hype

He's a sales man and casuals lap it up

Haye was a great fighter at cruiser no doubt about it but who has he beat since ?? no one .

don't get carried away watching him steam roll taxi drivers and cruiser weights. Soon as he steps up against a big punching tall fighter he will shy away ...again

laughing his way to the bank . cant stand the prick

I must say that sounds like a statement from someone who didn't know that Haye already failed vs Wladimir. If you're suggesting that NOW Haye would do better, I can't say I'm so sure. There was nothing in that fight that showed he would do better.

I think Wlad lost to Fury because Fury was awkward and got into Wlad's head with his herky jerky movements at the same height (or taller). I think that loss was less Wlad looking old and more Wlad having trouble with Fury's awkwardness. I think we'll see a different Wlad vs a more stationary and upright Joshua.

Haye is somewhat herky jerky himself with his head movements, but smaller and Wlad showed he could handle that.

i wouldnt mind seeing haye v wlad in a rematch tbh, irrespective of who wins. I think the toemaker is a better fighter than he showed that night, the criticism must have stung so i could see him letting his hands go a bit more. Plus wlad has slowed down a bit.

Haye was terrified of Fury

[SN!PER]

It will be satisfying to see Haye taste the canvas. Not from Wladimir leaning all over him, but from the heavy hands of Joshua.

Haye hasn`t done a **** since 2012 when he beat Chisora. And now he is gonna fight a cruiserweight Bellow. haye should start fighting relevant hw guys.

How come is Pulev the mandatory for the IBF? The eliminator was between Parker and Takam.

If they want to give Pulev or Haye a shot at the belt, they should stage an eliminator between both of them.

Even the IBF don't know what they are doing.

Parker gave up his IBF title shot to fight for the WBO title instead. The IBF is the only major organization where you can't acquire a top 2 ranking via attrition.

In the April 2016 IBF rankings, released May 4, 2016, #1 & #2 were vacant. You can only gain a #1 or #2 IBF ranking by winning an eliminator. Takam was #3, Parker was #4, Pulev was #5 and Chisora was #6.

Takam & Parker fought for the #1 ranking and Pulev & Chisora fought for the #2 ranking. Parker won and Pulev won and they became #1 and #2 in the May 2016 IBF rankings, released on June 3, 2016.

The mandatory is now due, but AJ is allowed to take a unification fight instead. After the unification fight, he must make a mandatory defense against the highest ranked available contender, which is Pulev.

The IBF is the only major organization that does everything completely by the book, with full transparency, to the letter of the law, with no funny business. So it's unfair to criticize them simply because you were ignorant of the facts.
