Price v ha ye might be exciting actually

He clearly has had an ongoing Achilles problem since his return. And it went again in the 2nd Bellew fight.

Depending on how many times the Achilles has actually broken down in the last 2 years will determine whether he retires or not.

Can he last 12 rounds without getting injured? More importantly can he do a training camp without injury?

Since his comeback (January 2016) At 35, 36 , 37 years old so far he has proven he can't sustain activity without injury Achilles (multiple times) Bicep

He complained of being blighted by injuries throughout his career in 2011 (31 years old) when he lost to Wlad, then in 2013 had shoulder surgery which kept him out for 3 years.

At 37 years and 7 months old, I doubt that his Achilles will allow him to recover in time to actually try and make an attempt to capture a HW title.

If fully fit however I would expect him to beat every heavyweight that is not named Wilder, Joshua, Fury or Parker.

Maybe a warm-up fight in March 2019 and then Dillian Whyte in May 2019 ???

Unfortunately, he'll probably go the Roy Jones route and just fight on for the money. Which is very sad because his body has broken down, skills are diminished and in addition he's a washed up fighter.

They might do it directly in a morgue.

Haye is shot. He can't compete at the highest level anymore so he should either be a gatekeeper or hang em up. Image what Joshua or Wilder would do to him.

Uhmmm.......no.

His legs are shot and got worse when he got hit. Haye couldn't land anything in either fight. That's just not the real Haye. He's just about as far from his real self as Roy Jones was in the Tarver fights and it showed.

Wouldn’t know. This bum blocked me on Twitter.

At this point it would be seriously dangerous for Haye to get in the ring with Whyte.
