Why was it ? Care to be constructive ? If it had gone to 12 rounds and a points decision would you think more of Haye ?

Glad to see Haye back in the mix.
Got to give him the benefit of doubt over his opponent and bear in mind he's been out of the ring for 3 years. He certainly looks like he can be a major contender, and he certainly still retains plenty punching power. His only issue might end up being his stamina now that he's older and heavier. |

Haye couldn't win
He beats the guy in one round and he's fighting a bum and it's "shite" He goes the distance and he's not good enough For what it's worth I thought Haye looked pretty good. Can only beat what's in front of you and he did that well. First fight back, be realistic |

He still has the experience advantage. Joshua is still learning and although he looks like a beast with his early round comfy wins he looked completely lost and rattled when Whyte hurt him, he took ages to recover, I don't think Haye would give him time to do this. Haye may have less speed but he hasn't lost his power. Not hating on AJ just wouldn't advice him to rush into a fight against Haye at this point.

Great to see Haye back and on winning form, heavyweight division sucked. Those punches Haye threw were very hard punches indeed, it was inevitable that opponent was for getting taken out in round 1 and low and behold. Haye looked more like a bodybuilder than a boxer if it's any fault I have to pick. That'll explain the huge power shots but the minus to that is Haye wouldn't have been able to sustain many rounds without burning himself out. His bulk coupled with his age is a huge factor and something he needs to look at with his trainers. That might be fine with a relative nobody, but up against a young up and coming tough fighter like Joshua and it'll be Haye's stamina that'll bring him down (to the canvas).

Ignoring the quality of the opponent. My god, Haye looked huge last night, the size of his head compared to his shoulders and chest.
Nice to see him back though, not a fan of his PR, but it's exciting fot the British heavyweight scene. |

No class Wilder is sloppy for a guy holding a belt, but he can't half bang. |

Fury makes the sport more interesting in my opinion. He knows all that nonsense last night sells tickets and get his name back in the media.
Even though Haye and Wilder won last night I woke up seeing Fury as the main boxing headline on most sports pages. He would beat Wilder as well. Wilder has been protected very well with hand pick opponents and even though he won last night he looked pretty average. Haye will be a good fight for anyone as he always has had speed and power. |

I had Artur ahead when he was stopped - he certainly wasn't 4 rounds down going into that 9th round like 2 of the judges scored it. He made Wilder look like a complete amateur for most of the night until he walked onto that right hand. There would have been one hell of a stink had it come to the scorecards ...
I am not sure where Wilder's "beast mode" has gone but he better get it back for his next couple of fights ... he isn't a boxer he is a fighter and his team have got to get back to basics.. |

Not against DH but his opponent was a bit of a let down, What White said about gary Cornish after he was floored in one round, yes he has a good record but he hasn't fought anyone in top 200, surely the same must apply for Mori? He didn't land a single punch on Haye, totally out of his depth.

The most recognisable name on De Mori's record is Alex Leapai, whom he fought to a draw well over 10 years ago on Leapai's debut when Leapai was 2 stone lighter than he was when Klitschko stopped him a couple of years back. On paper De Mori looked okay but in the ring he was absolutely dreadful. |

Haye looked pretty good really (regardless of the opposition) and I also think it is too soon for Joshua to tangle with him at this point.
Along with Fury this could be a golden age for British heavyweights. Time will tell. |

Dave, broadcasting a live sports event for the very first time, peaked a total of 3.02 million viewers for the fight – 14% of the UK TV audience – making it the top non-public broadcast service programme of the day. During the fight Dave actually experienced a higher share of the UK audience than Channel 4 and was only 1 per cent behind ITV. In addition, 100,000 viewers streamed the fight live on YouTube around the world. |

Joshua is still a novice & I just don't know what level Haye is operating at right now, because he hasn't fought anyone with a pulse in nearly five years & has been inactive for 3.5 of those years. Haye needs to keep active & increase the level of his competition, along with getting back down to about 15st 5lbs, as I think 16st 3lbs was too heavy for him; he looked slower for it. Joshua also needs to step up now, although he showed some promise against Whyte. If they were to fight, late on this year or early 2017 would be the most realistic time. |

AJ for my money is too upright and static. Made for Haye in my opinion. |

Does Amir Khan actually want to fight again? Been bloody ages since he last had a fight and it seems he is hell bent on avoiding fighting Brook.
