    If Ruddock lands he decapitates Haye, the question is would he land first? I can envisage a Lewis-esque demolition job from Haye despite being an underdog.

    I don't think David Haye would engage him, no make that I don't think he would fight him.

    ruddock has a more proven chin.
    i'll pick him... he could take haye's best and smash him with the smash... haye would leave the ring on a stretcher and never fight again.

    I don't think it's a cert that he would walk through Haye's shots....

    I think that "Razor" would catch him after taking his fair share of punishment.

    Ruddock is extremely underatted as a fighter because of the Lewis fight. His biggest weakness was overhand hand rights that seemed to get him off balance with taller guys like Lewis and Smith . I think he would have difficulties landing on Haye until the later rnds but Haye doesnt present the Tyson body shot ability or counter punch one to stay in the pocket and beat Ruddock up. Haye fights more from the outside and dodges in and out in spurts . Haye could hurt Ruddock and is underatted himself but chances are Ruddock catches him and k.os him or gets a decision win ,i dont see any fight of Haye that tells me otherwise at this point .

    Haye. Too quick and won't exchange and stand around waiting to get hit. If Ruddock ever bothered to set a nice workrate, it would be an easy bout for him. instead it'd be a pose on the outside doing nothing and throwing 20 punches a round & getting outpointed.

    Ruddock would have a tough fight against Haye due to his speed, slickness and head movement. But he would eventually decapitate him during the mid to late rounds.

    I think this is the likely scenario too. Haye was faster and not so one dimensional. He'd land some big shots on Razor and I think Donoven would be hurt.

    Haye could win this fight If he used his speed and caught razor he could stop him.But its more likely that Haye will run when has a taste of ruddocks power .Ruddock on points in a a dull chase.
