lol.... so since we no longer care about the CONTEXT of things that have happened... i saw RJJ knocked down by Del Valle Who doesnt hit as hard as Monte... or Haye. This game is stupid...
I think that Haye has to be favored for his size advantages and the fact that he has enough speed to catch Jone easier than Ruiz did. Roy has a chance though as Haye's defense is **** and Haye isnt that hard to land on.
Ruiz was the only HW title RJJ had a shot at. RJJ created the punch and hold strategy that PBF has used so well in fights against bigger opponents. Haye is one big Cruiserweight and he could definitely hurt RJJ. Haye is probably faster and more dangerous than Ruiz. I would say Haye is just a little too big and strong for RJJ and he would KO RJJ, but take nothing fro prime RJJ, that guy could do almost anything and I wouldn't put it past him to beat a guy like Haye.
people are going overboard with haye WAY too early. he's an exciting, charismatic fighter who has showed great character in the ring (mormeck). a lot of people want him to succeed because he has the potential to transcend the sport in popularity and succeed oscar (my opinion). but - let's see how good he is first. an off the canvas win against mormeck and a a sweet TKO against a limited enzo do not a great fighter make so lets leave the jones references alone for now.
Haye is better than Ruiz. Ruiz was a joke and a pretender champ. Haye has the nice fast right hand, not saying it would land on Roy, but that right makes it an interesting fight. And Haye's right is fast.
