    Can see him laying Chisora out in a similiar fashion, on the back foot, big right.
    People can say what they want about Haye, he punches hard,infact he makes Chisora look absolutely feather fisted in comparison.

    Ruiz chin is below average, since Ruiz got Tua'd by David Tua he used his well know huggy bear style against every decent puncher he faced, except against Haye.
    And eventhough Helenius wobbled Chisora in the 1st (with his damaged right) Chisora went directly forward again, he kept coming forward against Vitali (also damaged right :yep) and Fury after being hit.
    Derek's chin is much better as Ruiz'

    I know this were'nt at heavyweight but he can't hit that hard if he could'nt KO Thompson.

    Ruiz was completely finished by the time Haye faced him.

    His punches carry a hell of allot of snap behind them but very little in the way of mass compared to ther heavies, thus he can hurt just about anyone but likely wont straight KO them.

    I'd say his power at Heavyweight is around 80-90% of what it was at Cruiserweight.

    To deliver power from the backfoot is impressive quality.

    But its his sheer speed which is the great weapon, as his punch output is terribly low.

    I think Hayes combination of speed and power it's very good but not consistent. In other words there are certain other heavies put there who I could envision Haye decking, yet they would/could get up to win.

    He is a very good fighter, but carefully managed, at heavy IMO.

    hayes power is very good. in fact it is really all he has got going for himself.
    even with great power however he is still a pu$$y and gsora is not a puss. that's why i am picking del boy. del boy will attack him constantly like he did against vitali and if he didnt fear vit, he is not going to fear gaye.
    gsora will break gaye down.

    question is, will haye try to find a way out of this fight? maybe fake an injury...

    time will tell.

    If Chisora can survive the early storm and can weather any early punches I can see him beating Haye. Put someone durable with good stamina and belief in with Haye and the outcome is far from certain. If Carl Thompson, Mormeck and Mock can knock Haye down then I'm sure Chisora stands a chance.
    It's relentless pressure to beat Haye, Chisora's your man. :good

    I think only Wladimir Kiltschko, David Price.....

    Have more raw power than David Haye.

    Timing, Speed, Accuracy...

    Create a devastating punch.

    Its not just about raw power!

    The man sparked Mormeck out so I don't know what more proof people need. Big Vinny and Timur failed to do that.
