Anthony Joshua v Carlos Takam 28 October 2017

[GaMo]

Can't say I'm excited but I'll watch it

AJ will come to USA soon and excite you all when he beats Wilder.

I never knew I was American I’d love to see him fight Wilder though
And I would pay to see that fight for sure

Can't say I'm excited but I'll watch it

You will more than likely need to pay £20 for the privilege

Fuck that! I’ll see it in a bar or download it the next day
Might actually see how much tickets are for it
I’ve been looking for a reason to check out Cardiff.

I didn't wanna give the fucking idiot a thread of his own so thought I'd stick it in here.
Following on from the circus (the first circus between Haye and Bellew, not the circus from the other week) Haye has decided that he has one fight in December and then gets a 'showdown' with AJ. Just where the fuck would Haye be on AJ's radar I'm guessing that Haye wouldn't even register as a blip on the screen.

Haye is an inactive, injury prone old man whose reputation is in pieces
He would need to beat somebody like Wilder or Parker to get a shot
And to get one of them he’d need to beat Ortiz, Povetkin or Browne.

[Master]

That means David Haye knows his body is shot and he can not last too long in boxing so is trying to cash up and retire.

AJ could fight him as a voluntary but hope AJ swerves him and does not give him the pay day that he is desperate for.

There is no suprise there, all AJ's title fights have been ppv. Tossers.

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

[Alpha]

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.

[erics44]

Haye doesn't need to fight anyone if AJ agrees to fight him

and its big money so theres a possibility

itd be bigger if he beat bellew in a rematch mind

[GaMo]

Most people think that Holyfield did enough to beat Valuev
But he was probably ranked in the top five when Haye beat him.

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!

Ruiz? GTFOOH with that nonsense. He was a bum by the time Haye fought him as evidenced by his never fighting again. Or evidenced by his 4 losses in his previous 7 fights.

Which of Valuev's losses moved him into your top 5, his loss to Chagaev or his loss to Oldyfield coming into the Haye fight? Values was a fraud, everyone knew it and that's why Haye fought him. Easy belt that Valuev shouldn't have have. He didn't beat Chagaev to get it handed back to him and he didn't beat Evan Fields.

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

[Master]

80,000 to see this fight. AJ is getting a bit popular.

Froch won't be happy

What? Do AJ destroys Wilder but gets tested by Whyte
Wilder would fucking destroy Whyte inside six rounds!
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)

This is an easy fight for AJ now, Haye would lose within a couple of rounds now.

Yeah Haye wouldn’t go past the third round with AJ
Deep down I think he knows that but wants the payday.
Haye doesn’t deserve it and shouldn’t get it
He’s already been gifted a bunch of big fights.

80,000 to see this fight. AJ is getting a bit popular.

Big heavyweight who can punch and looks the part (well-muscled)
The ladies love him and casuals love a knockout so it’s not surprise.

[Spicoli]

Pleasant surprise this being on Showtime live honestly had no idea! Not stringing the card out either getting right to it.
