Haye looks like the type that would talk tremendous trash just say Eddie Chambers derailed Vlad. I would have beaten him if my back was not hurt. There are so many contenders as you mentioned that he could possibly fight and bring some excitement if he is truly for real. Haye is like a Spanish soap opera you can't seem to turn away from.
I think you are absolutely correct that Haye knows he'll lose against the Klits, and wants easier game. But it doesn't justify Ruiz getting yet another undeserved title shot, and impeding a fight that would be far more interesting and certainly exciting.
Yes, but only because Ruiz lost his last fight, to Valuev no less. Haye hasn't proven anything at heavyweight yet.
