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

[killersheep]

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.

Can he avoid the masterclass clinches from the quiet man? That's the real question.

To be honest I think Ruiz is too old and slow, Haye will catch him, I don't think he can beat Tua's record, but Haye should have his way in this fight.

Ruiz is scintillating compared to Wlad. HBO knows when to show heavyweight fights live, when you've got a guy like Ruiz involved you can sell that, just as long as he's not matched up with Wlad.

I'm annoyed with Manny and his determined quest to kill heavyweight boxing so I've gotta ask what the hell does this mean, "I've never seen a division where these two brothers dominate everything."

For what its worth Haye has acted poorly, you can defend it on business lines but this is no time for business, this the time for humanity to stand up and say no more Wlad bullshit. And tyranny and oppression and so on.

You cant blame Manny, how many times do you have a fighter winning every round on the cards and his manager is screaming "You need to knock this guy out, we dont want another decision!" haha...Manny is always trying to get Wlad to be more aggressive, but I think Wlad is still haunted by the Sanders fight so is nervous about letting it all hang out......

Oh for sure. He still has that wide eyed look of absolute horror when someone steps forward and takes a swing.

Haye hasn't proven his stamina yet. But other than against Valuev he does usually have a high output at least for the first 5 rounds. Whether he can maintain a high output over 12 remains to be seen but he's just as likely to be able to as not.

Nameless, your comment regarding 'england needing a boxer to look at' seems a bit eroneous.

On Haye, I think the only logical thing to say is that the jurys still out. We can but guess which way they will go but some seem very keen to have him hung without trial. (I accept that his loudmouth, arrogance and suspected ducking aren't endearing qualities).
