I would be seriously surprised if any other hevyweights aside from the klits would have still been standing from the beating Haye dished out. Time to retire now Ruiz man...
Not saying he would take them shots as he is a defence first fighter but there is no way Wlad would be able to take the shots Haye hit Ruiz with last night. His chin is proven to be quite poor against big hitters especially ones with good hand speed to back it up.
Beat me to it - There is no way Wlad after being dropped like that by Haye would have survived and if by some chance he did survive, he would have been on his bike the rest of the way throwing jabs exclusively.

I've only seen round 1 and 9 but it looked like a great fight. Ruiz was coming forward in round 9 just as he was in round 1! Really impressed with Haye's power up at heavy but I'm still concerned with how low he keeps his left hand. I don't think he's the hardest guy to hit either despite his good movement.

If guys like Wlad or Vitali catch him with a shot, it's goodnight! Then again, it's brought him this far, I doubt he can change it now.
