With Ruiz you're going to have to be strong to handle all the grappling the guy does in the ring, his chin is decent, only KO'd once by David Tua so a KO of Ruiz WOULD mean something. I think Haye would have trouble with him especially if they used a smaller ring where he wouldn't have far to run because Haye seems to me to be a pot shotting heavyweight, a guy who likes to throw a punch and then get the hell out of dodge.

I think Tony Thompson would be very dangerous for him too, he's huge 6'6 250, he's got good defense, a great chin, and a very good jab...he'd let Haye keep distance but he'd score with that jab while Haye was out there. TT is a guy I never thought much of until I saw him fight Wlad, he may not have a big heart as in that fight it seemed his corner was urging him to keep going, but he did very well vs Wladimir and Wlad had to chop him down over a long period of time....if he fought Haye and was in decent shape, he'd give Haye hell.

I'd also put in anyone who has a solid chin that can hang with a banger for 8 or so rounds would have a chance vs Haye ESPECIALLY if they chase him around the ring and tire out his legs.

No disrespect to Haye, but it's not going to be smooth sailing for him, he has (with his antics) put a target on his back that EVERYONE is going to be shooting at....here's hoping Haye is good enough to back up his talk.
