Manny Steward:Haye Just talks alot, wont fight Klit Bros

[Gandalf]

Steward is probably right. Haye won't fight a Klitschko until it's time to cash out at the end. A sensible business decision, but gay.

[Majesty]

Yep but on the other side of it, Haye will be fighting on HBO, Wladimer will fight on the internet. Who wins?

Klitschko. Don't think for an instant that he isn't getting paid. There is a reason Klitschko keeps fighting in Germany and it has to do with $$$ (and maybe the Russian mob *coff*coff*).

Like I'm saying, Haye is gonna get TV time and exposure on HBO instead of being another heavyweight hopeful who fights a Klit and loses and then goes into obscurity. He made the smart business decision, there are more to the heavyweights then the Klits and he made the smart decision going after Valuev and beating him, now he defends his title on HBO and gets national TV exposure whilst HBO won't air Klits matches.

heavyweight division needs this imo

Haye beat bigfoot and barrett , so wot ?
Lets see what happens when Haye gets hit on the chin , by a good puncher.
By the way i like Haye but his hype is to much , Ruiz is another none puncher , who to be fair i actually give a chance against Haye.
Put up or shut up .

I am not sure about now with Ruiz having a chance...There was the inactivity...then lack of quality opp...Some promotion probs I think it was....

The Ruiz of 2002, 2003, 2004 I would have picked to beat Haye....His style would have frustrated him silly...Ruiz has a solid chin despite the bad rep he got from the Tua loss...(That was a flash KO from a hard puncher to a guy who was bone dry to start the fight)

[JazMerkin]

Just on a few points, the Haye-Ruiz fight IS on HBO, it will be on for free before the Hopkins-Jones PPV. Also Manny Steward is hardly impartial and has a history of talking shit about possible future opponents of his fighters. As it is I don't see Haye beating Wlad, in fact I'm in the minority in thinking that he has a far better shot at beating Vitali. But, if Haye beats Ruiz the fight will happen and he will be a lot better off from it. Also he has thrown plenty of punches in other fights at Heavyweight, he was just being careful not to give Valuev a chance to clinch & try and sap his strength.

As far as I was concerned the Haye Ruiz fight is not televised.So I don't know if he will be on HBO. As for Haye himself I think he is complete tool. I don't understand the logic behind talking a bunch of shit about both brothers then backing out of two fight's with them because the money wasn't right? Then he claims to be a saviour of the heavyweight's and fight's Valuev and now Ruiz? Does that sound like a champion? I think E-Man is right this guy is a fraud and he(Haye) even knows it. logic tells you he is afraid of Klitschko's and uses the excuse of money as a cop out. Feed your B.S. somewhere else and fight someone who is worth a damn. Sorry I got off track a bit Yes I believe everything that Manny has stated.

I dont even want to get into the side debate about Haye doging the Klitschkos and what not. I simply don't care about that. I am simply stating that he has a chance against Wlad looking at things from a technical perspective.

After watching the fight with Eddie, and here's why I think this:

Eddie's problem is he lacks power and is somewhat stationary -and- Eddie couldt seem to land head shots anyway.

Eddie could land body shots which Im not sure body shots even bother Wlad.

Eddie had nothing in his arsenal to make Wlad think twice.

But- Haye can land shots on Wlads head, I'm willing to bet this as he was able to land on a taller target (ie Valuev).

Haye will pivot around Wlad and will "be on his bike" but has a very good chance of getting on the inside.

Should Haye land the kind of shots on Wlad that he did on Valuev, Wlad will be dazed, I am willing to bet on that too.

*The real question will be who hits who first with a hard shot, because that is whats going to be a big deciding factor. If Wlad hits Haye hard 1st then it will be down hill for Haye obviously. Now Vitali is a whole other story that Im not getting into right now.


The fight will definitely happen eventually.

But the problem is that Haye throws 15 punches a round at heavyeight. And none of them are likely to land.

Yep but on the other side of it, Haye will be fighting on HBO, Wladimer will fight on the internet. Who wins?

Klitschko. Don't think for an instant that he isn't getting paid. There is a reason Klitschko keeps fighting in Germany and it has to do with $$$ (and maybe the Russian mob *coff*coff*).

With bringing 51 000 peoples to fight Chambers without the shadow of a challenge and being broadcasted in France, Germany, Ukraine and Russia, I don't think Wlad give a big wut about HBO, he's cashing enough money and the Americans know him even if he didn't get the HBO ticket last time.

Wlad is still able to sell out stadiums and get unlimited airplay throughout most of eastern Europe. I don't know why though as there is no fun in watching him. But you can say the same thing about Haye too. Does anyone really think that Haye/Ruiz will be a good fight; especially after Valuev?

I don't think there is a winner here TBH.

Maybe I missed the announcement, but as far as I could see Ruiz/Haye is not being televised by HBO......Neither was Valuev/Haye.

Which Haye fights are on HBO?
