    What fights were you watching??
    Nobody likes Ruiz with his awful style but he did win that fight. Valuev did land soft jabs but Ruiz landed more power punches in that fight end even buckled Valuev legs.

    The Valuev-Donald fight was the worst decision I have ever witnessed with Valuev looking totally confused for most of the fight.It was a boxing clinic, I scored that 117-111.

    Since then of course Valuev has improved.

    Yes, I agree a Ruiz victory would perhaps get Toney back in the mix.

    Valuev has been developing his boxing skills quite nicely, I see him outpointing Ruiz with relative ease

    Valuev looked really good against Lyakovic, great timing off the jab and even a few right hands thrown in. I think this will be a clear semi-boring UD to Valuev.

    If Ruiz manage to beat Valuev damm this guy had more titles fight than a all time great. Ruiz and a few other heavyweights need to retire.

    It'll be on for free at donkingtv.com

    I'll say Ruiz wins more rounds, but Valuev gets the UD due to judging. The fight's in Germany, and Ruiz can't possibly knock Valuev out, so he might as well just not show up.

    If Valuev grows anymore body hair we won't be able to see his punches coming

    Why is Haye delaying announcing his opponent for so long- is it because he is considering the winner of this - for a title? They're both top ten.

    He did look good, but let's not forget that Lyakhovich came off a long lay-off and was out of shape.

    Hope not. I would like to see Wlad fight the winner (unification) and then Chagaev would have the right to fight Wlad (after he beats Valuev or Ruiz) when he gets healthy for the WBA belt

    It depends if Ruiz can get him up for the bodyslam, like Hogan did to Andre for Wrestlemania 3.
