    Ruiz has hired BJ Flores and Aaron Williams as sparring partners for his up and coming fight against David Haye.
    Both fighters are fairly quick Cruiserweights but neither are quite as quick or anything like the style of Haye but both are talented fighters and could give Ruiz good preperation for the Haye fight.

    Who should Haye use for sparring to try to emulate the sort of challenges he will face fighting Ruiz?

    I here Ricky Hatton is around the same weight at the moment and employs the same wrestling style. But on a serious note who would you suggest and what do you think of the sparring partners Ruiz has chosen?

    He would be better off with Hulk Hogan.

    Matt Skelton would be good i think. He likes to bear hug and poses more physicality than Ruiz

    Hmm Skleton is a good call , need someone pretty strong and in your face.

    Cant think of anyone who particularly mimics Ruiz though.

    Haye can use Skelton as mentioned above or even Chugaev

    Haye needs to mix in an MMA fighter that likes to clench but not knee.

    Ruiz aint getting huge purses

    Haye should in fact hire Ruiz himself and pay him a few quid extra
