    lennox wouldnt defend against ruiz as wasnt a challenge at all (plus wouldnt of made him any money) & that would of been in ruiz prime. the heavyweight scene is in a bad way except for haye & the brothers who else is out there? i pick haye to knock ruiz out inside of 8 rds.

    It was Manny Steward who did not want Lewis to fight Ruiz. I agree that there would not have been alot of money to be made off that fight but he would have made more fighting Ruiz then his defense over Botha and Mavrovik.

    i dunno how anyone can really complain bout Ruiz getting a title shot and not doing anything to earn it, especially if it's against Haye of all people

    His promoter is Don King.
    Ruiz lawyers are his best asset in the ring.

    Ruiz's unholy alliance with Don King keeps him up in the WBA rankings...or it used to, I think he split from King either just before the Valuev or the Chagaev fight.

    John Ruiz is a tough fighter, he's frustrating to watch, but he's got a decent chin, he's got deceptive power, and he has a good workrate...he could be a very tough opponent for David Haye. Anyone with decent defense and a solid workrate is going to be difficult for Haye to beat. In this case, Haye SHOULD be able to land and move out of harm's way, but the question is will he do that or will he "try to be exciting"....the answer to that question intrigues me.

    If David Haye fights Evander Holyfield, David Haye WILL LOSE....no doubt about it

    Have you seen how many punches Holyfield throws these days, you can count them on one hand.
