Haye came in at 222 lbs. which is the heaviest of his career.
Ruiz came in at 231 lbs. which is closer to the low end of his recent weights although he is heavier than his last fight.

Ruiz looked cool as fuck, I don't dislike Haye but he has to be one of the biggest hype jobs in recent times, I just fucking hate your average boxing fan/tv chat show host who knows fuck all about boxing but when Haye goes on there show ( which seems to have been nearly every week since the Valuev fight ) he is the new Ali or Tyson quite cringe worthy, Im pulling for Ruiz he has seemed a top bloke in the build up and I hope he can pull the upset off, but then on the other hand we will then never see Haye getting destroyed by the Klits.
Dyou see the lttle wobble Haye started doing as Ruiz just glared at him;D
Haye doesnt seem too comfortable;)

Yes the guy does pack a punch. But considering at this point in his career his toughest opponent to date is john ruiz suggests haye has not even scraped the surface yet.
If samuel peter was british he would of already been given a knighthood :vd:
I have to ask....why is the WBA champion obsessed with cutting people's heads off?
Examples
#1 The picture of him holding Wlad's head in a magazine
#2 The infamous t-shirt of him holding BOTH Klitschko brothers heads
#3 The quote from the upcoming fight with John Ruiz where he said something to the extent of "I wouldn't want my family at the arena either if I knew I was getting ready to be decapitated" (speaking of Ruiz's family)
I mean just shut the fuck up already.....that dude is one trash talking motherfucker and the sad thing is he NEVER backs it up!!! I wouldn't be shocked if Ruiz lasts the distance with him just because I have started to think that this guys talks so much because he knows he doesn't have "it" so he has to sell "it" to his opponent, Ruiz doesn't seem like the type of guy to fall for it. Ruiz may very well be outclassed (in terms of skill because there's nobody LOWER than the WBA trinket holder in terms of couth) but he's going to give it 100% and he won't play nice.
On another note how big does Haye look?? PED'S anyone :o.
False accusations much.
Yeah I noticed that...Almost as if he realized..."If I try to get too stupid with this guy I have a feeling he will start the fight now....I better save it for the more well tempered Wlad who just finds me to be an annoying bug waiting to be swatted"......Quote:

Haye looks bloated there, just not natural at all if you ask me not saying he is taking Ped's but look at his skinny wrists and his shoulders arms and traps, bit to much especially for a boxer imo.

Vastly over exaggerated the weight issue not saying he was struggling but the main reason he moved to heavyweight is not hard to work out how much did he make for the Valuev fight £5 million was it?? Also the comment was tongue in cheek.

oh yeah... I got on to say that Haye will probably try to do a David Tua on Ruiz in the first round, not saying he will be successful. But still, it should be fun if he does go for it.
Sorry mate I don't understand what you mean, what did RJJ do to weigh 210? When was that? He weighed 193 v Ruiz that was with his clothes on aswell.Quote:

Also the Hopkins RJJ fight tomorrow is at Light Heavyweight not Cruiserweight he had to weigh in twice RJJ:
Hopkins 175
RJJ 175.5.
That's what I'm hoping for. I honestly can't see it being a problem.Quote:

Haye just doesnt look built to take punches, his neck looks scrawny and his head is tiny, like Roy Jones, little pin heads;DQuote:

Every time I look at his head I see him being dropped or his legs going to jelly by Thompson, Mock, Barrett and Mormeck, cant remember if Fragomeni dropped him but the light hitting cruiser was beating him up before he gave up!!
Ah man, how can you not tell that it was tongue in cheek?Quote:

Haye looks less toned than usual. Also he has been pretty quiet by his standards this week, almost nervous, and he looked nervous in the face off. I have a feeling all wasn't/isn't well in his camp. Not sure it will make any difference though.
Yeah, let's hurry up and lower expectations for that douchebag just in case he disappoints vs Ruiz.Quote:

Woah Lyle! I'm no Haye fan by any means so I have no desire to lower expectations. Its just my honest feeling. I expect Haye to win by KO but I would never use the things I mentioned as reasons he lost though, it doesn't concern me and I don't think it will make a difference anyway (as I said).Quote:

....sorry, I'm just a little sick of the dude talking shit and then tucking tail to hide behind the skirts of Golden Boy and the WBA. Let's see what happens after this fight and if the title holder actually seeks out a fight vs either Klitschko or if he just sits back and has a rematch with Valuev.Quote:

It's a shame that the fight is not being televised in Germany. I need to find a stream later on tonight.

To be fair, Ruiz even when he is in good shape wouldnt get all the little queers on these boxing forums excited like the site of a buff body normally would. I t makes me laugh when everyone dives in, itching to see weighin pictures;D
Ruiz doesnt look impressed or intimidated by anything, to be honest, weighins are pointless for heavyweight fights, so it doesnt really matter what they weigh in at, hayes heavy and Ruiz is lighter than he normally is, even fully clothed, id bet he weighs less than his last fight if he wasnt wearing shoes and his clothes.
Ruiz is in shape but hes no adonis and isnt gonna stand and let David have something to gloat about, hes seen it all before, I think Haye will look daft, if Barrett can make Haye work and drop him, hopefully Ruiz will;D
What and have Ruiz a champion again? No thanks, twice was enough IMO.Quote:

No there is nothing nice about John Ruiz being World Champion. If he does win against Haye, then I would love to see him take on a Klitschko, now that would be fun to watch haha!

Here is a pic of Ruiz I just found, this was back at the hotel think we can see why he was reluctant to take the shirt off. :p
