It's not a contest I'd like to see right now.
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.
