Anthony Joshua

I don't believe the hype around most British boxers. Most of them are B level fighters and just a good paycheck for American fighters since they bring the UK fans. With that being said America has the better black athletes and Dontay would would dat ass if Eddie Hearn would let it happen. 

 

This Wilder?

The same one that was rocked by the Z level American Joshua just knocked out?

Wlad is a big test but, I think it's coming at the right time and if Joshua wins it will be Walds last fight.

Dreville, from what I've seen, Parker is a level down from the likes of Joshua, Fury, Haye, Wlad. But, until they all step in with each other it's hard to say for certain. Haye hasn't fought anyone since he came back and fighting Belle is a waste of time imo.

The Joshua Whyte fight was unique for Joshua in that they genuinely hated each other and he let it get to him. Hopefully we get to see all or most of the fights that matter at HW next year.

That's sparring bro. In a real fight with a bunch of press, promotion, film study, training camp and most importantly under the lights it's a whole different type of fight.

Haye opens up in sparring when no one is watching or against C level competition on fight night. But when you put him under the lights against some like Deontay, you  are going to see the David Haye that showed up against Klitchko.

Stern - I don't think Haye gets past Bellew

Haye will smash Bellew. Two different levels. Haye has been inactive and his last two fights didn't tell us much because of the caliber of opponent but Hayes atheltisicm and boxing skill are far superior to Tony's. 

 

Easy night for Haye in my opinion. 

The timing is not on Haye's side. He's a 36 year old fighter going back down in weight and is based style wise on speed. He's had major shoulder injuries. He'll probably pull out.

Joshua is good for boxing,popularity,decent manners and skill is refreshing to see after those two fools who ran out of steam after 3 rounds.

Joshua is learning how to master the big occasion and taking a worn Klit fight is perfect for him.

Unlike what might happen to Parker who is another talented young Heavyweight who may be put in with Wilder who is strong but most importantly is awkward and can punch,who may starch young Parker.

i also think David Haye will beat Bellew and would also beat Parker.
Credit to Hearn for protecting and bringing along a massive drawcard in Joshua.Arum might cook Parker before he matures,Wilder is a dangerous puncher for someone who was lucky to get the decision against Ruiz.

Two sides to promoters with two young prospects...time will tell.

Joshua's draw power is growing rapidly and he's no Audley Harrison he's actually good. He's in a great spot with so many options. The Wlad fight is going to be huge. Same thing potentially with Tyson Fury,Hughie Fury,and Haye if he continues fighting and moves back up after Bellew.

Not to mention debuting in the states. Hearn has discussed having fights all over with AJ headlining. China was talked about. I think he'll soon be the face of boxing.

Why the fuck are boxing belts so damn ugly.

The green one looks like it's worth about 12 dollars and is that a rainbow belt? GHEY.

You might be right on Haye, he's fought no-one since he's come back so it's hard to judge how he is but, Wilder looks just as sloppy in his fights as he does in that sparring session. Only time will tell.

Stern - I don't think Haye gets past Bellew

You'll get some good odds on Belles that's for sure. As someone pointed out, the fights at heavyweight and Bellew is a puffed up LHW anyway.

Hate to say it about a fellow Toffee but, I don't think Bellew stands a chance. Seems Haye doesn't get much respect post his poor showing against Wlad.

Looks like his fighting Wladimir in April. http://www.bbc.com/sport/boxing/38317877

You're correct. Vtfu

I don't gamble but I hope Haye knocks Bellew the fuck out. I've never liked him at all. Haye's been one of my favorites for years. Since he turned pro really.

Haye isn't the same guy. At one time that guy was a fucking handful for anyone. He could box,punch,and he was fast. That gets overshadowed with stuff like that toe thing he did. He has brought it on himself tbh.

Bellew was a heavyweight as an amateur. He's so much better now after moving up from 175. He was killing himself making that weight. He can actually focus on becoming instead of worrying about weight constantly. I'll never understand why guys do that shit. You don't ever want to deprive yourself as an athlete in a sport like boxing.

AJ is a scary fucker but like Khabib he's yet to be tested...

I'm surprise he manages to pass a drug test tbh

Aside from Wlad, Haye is the most skilled HW in the game. I thought he was going to rampage through the division after he killed Enzo Macca. He had a HW punch and SMW speed in a division of stiffs. Then, his first HW showcase happened and Monte Barrett (who was brought in to play to role of the victim) dropped Haye with a jshit ab, and David was all like 'WTF did I get myself into?" He beat Monte, but he carried that attitide into the Wlad fight. He wanted no part of it. 



He still might be crafty enough to beat these guys who are being rushed along. Joshua and Wilder are still prospects at this point. Fury's a goof, but he beat Wlad and KO'd Cunningham.
