Funny to hear "Haye needs to fight a top 5 heavyweight", Wlad was the only top 5 heavyweight he ever fought. He's going to start now? Nope

Pulev ain't to bad after Wlad retiring. I see Pulev having fleeting moments of success before AJ catches him with something big. If Pulev looks to survive it may go late. If Pulev tries to fight AJ on the inside I don't see it going past 4.
Not that I want to defend Haye, but I am sure Valuev and maybe at a stretch Ruiz were top 5 in their day.Quote:

itd be bigger if he beat bellew in a rematch mind
Would it? Haye is going to try and sell the AJ fight on his past performances and will conveniently for get the Bellew fight.Quote:

Ruiz was 3-3 in his last six fights coming in against Haye
So he certainly wasn’t top five. Barrett was also 3-3 in his last six
And Chisora was 1-3 in his last four!
I did say at a stretch. :)Quote:

Although I do believe Ruiz genuinely believed he could beat Haye as he came at a career low weight which showed he was motivated to beat what he must have believed was a blown up cruiserweight. That idea went all to pot when he was knocked down in the first round.
Ruiz is famous for losing his title to a middleweight.Quote:

This is an easy fight for AJ now, Haye would lose within a couple of rounds now. Haye has also done nothing to deserve the fight. AJ should not give Haye the time.Quote:

This'll last a few rounds (5 tops) until AJ destroys him.
Then AJ will destroy Wilder and after that and unless Furys about there really isn't any sort of test for AJ unless a Whyte rematch happens.
Pulev is an easy nights work
80,000 to see this fight. AJ is getting a bit popular.

Seriously Whyte is a bum who barely got past Chisora.
I give Wilder a good chance against Joshua
Whyte is European level at best (probably British level really)
Yeah Haye wouldn’t go past the third round with AJQuote:

He’s already been gifted a bunch of big fights.
Big heavyweight who can punch and looks the part (well-muscled)Quote:
