Valuev and the rest of the World can do without Ruiz part III, and Haye may be frozen out of the other belts until 2010 This fight could sell out Stamford Bridge
Ruiz' attorneys all over this like flies round ****. No-one else will get a shot at Valuev before Ruiz now sadly. I just hope Valuev puts a career ender on The Quietman. Haye needs to look at other options, an Arreola fight makes sense.
Haye can beat Valuev and immediately put himself in line for Wlad again. Valuev has almost nothing going for him. His whole game is big and basic. Haye should have the speed to do what needs to be done. He just needs to be smart and not get caught.
There are far too many complications with the sanctioning bodies at the moment. Haye was lucky to jump the queue the first time, too bad he hurt his back but this is a hard business. He now needs to graft and fight some contenders.
I would like to see against any live body at heavyweight in truth. We don't really know how good he is. I doubt Valuev would be as easy as people claim. He has a good chin and work-rate, its not as if Haye is used to going into the later rounds, or having to deal with such a big men.
Agreed. My sympathy for Haye has waned dramatically over the last few days. He was lucky to jump the queue and I think, unless he was completely debilitated, he should have just got on with it. Most fighters go into fights with injuries. Rightly or wrongly, he is now part of the heavyweight circus that he derided.
He was already adding fuel to the fire. Fans were deriding the heavyweight division...what better way to restore credibility in the rankings than immediately bypass them? Two wrongs don't make a right, and quite frankly we're now getting a more relevant and useful fight even if its not quite as exciting from a British viewpoint.
