WBA heavyweight champion David Haye see two flaws in WBO/IBO/IBF champion Wladimir Klitschko, and neither of those flaws are his chin. Haye doesn't view Klitschko as a big finisher. He says the Eastern Euro champ sticks to using his jab because he doesn't have the "killer instinct" to finish an opponent off. Another reason Haye says, is because Klitschko is fighting scared to win.
"Wladimir Klitschko lacks the killer instinct to finish a fight, because he's scared of being hit. Once Ruiz is out of the way, I'm headed for the Klitschkos," Haye told Gareth Davies of The Telegraph.
Before he can even think about a Klitschko, he needs to get past mandatory John Ruiz on April 3 in Manchester, which he says is tougher fight than Nikolai Valuev. He predicts a very explosive fight.
"Going into the Valuev fight everyone was worried for me, but this time everyone expects me to blast Ruiz out of there," said Haye. "Technically, Ruiz is more awkward than Valuev. He gets in close, and wrestles you, so in some respects he's more dangerous than Valuev, who appears to be more dangerous simply because of his size.
"Valuev was 7st heavier than me and nearly a foot taller so I didn't look to wrestle or hold against him, but Ruiz is basically the same size as me. It won't be a problem for me to fight up close and get my shots off."
