but alas, we were treated to a fight.

Guys, guys. Guys!
Nah, no bitterness on my part for once. I wanted Haye to win this, but think it important to keep a little perspective. Ruiz has never been all that good a fighter and most of us accept this. It was a rather random mandatory that nobody really wanted after all the talk about possible Klitschko fights.

All I can hope is that he fights someone decent. Hopkins has already been talking of fighting Haye, but if Haye wants to command respect then he needs to fight heavyweights. That means the Klits or at least fighters like Povetkin, Chambers, Peters et al. This was a stay busy fight at the most.
