We would find out a lot about Haye if he stepped in v. Valuev. But John Ruiz is the next highest rated. Valuev-Ruiz II for the belt?
Haye-Valuev for the belt is another great fight that would help the division. If ****ing Ruiz gets a shot I will not watch the fight.
Yeah right , Haye would punish Big Val like the heavy bag he is. Haye is now ranked in the top 5 , Golata ranked 6th ( end of May ) , ruiz is no.2 though , and how dull that would be.
Unbelievable.. well actually, very believable. ****, Chagaev is going to hold the belt hostage for as long as possible.
Valuev would kill Haye, he would blast him out by the mid rounds, I cant see Haye hurting Valuev, his reach and overall size would be too much for Haye. What if the unthinkable happend, Haye knocking out Valuev. I bet there would be threads made of him becoming the next ATG Heavyweight.
Why is Big Val highly rated all of a sudden , he's got the speed of skelton and the power Bryd. Im not impressed with him , when was the last time he ' blew out' anybody ?
Barrett, that was in 05 or 06, he knocked him out in around the 7th round. He has a great workrate, above average power, a commanding jab, and a granite chin, right now thats enough to give anyone in the division a tough fight.
A few years ago though eh .. , i'll concede the Val is tough and would take some stopping and even his jab has improved , but a mobile fast powerful HW , like Haye will be ( IMO ) will bust up Val and force the ref to stop the fight. I hope it happens.
In his last fight against Lycha.... (White Wolf) he looked great, the best Valuev I've ever seen. Of course Lycha's style was tailor-made for Valuev.
