Sorry but running from the worst HW Champ and then beating an old tired Ruiz doesn't make you a star, nor an attraction. I can tell you right now 90 percent of the U.S. doesn't know ****all about David Haye, and that should be obvious because his fight wasn't even shown here. The other 10 percent think he's a coward.
I agree, those two performances you mentioned couldn't be considered among Haye's best. Against Valuev he was extremely cautious, and Ruiz himself was possibly over-the-hill. However, you could say he executed two different styles in each fight which means he can stick to a game plan effectively and he has quite a varied skill set for a HW. Whether he can contend with Wladimir's own exceptional skills is another matter though.
As far popularity is concerned, the entire boxing world knows who David Haye is. The general public might not, but they probably wouldn't know who Wladimir Klitschko is either.. Haye's fight wasn't shown in the U.S., but neither was Klitschko's last fight, And that fight was against one of the best U.S. heavyweight prospects, Eddie Chambers, not an "old tired" Ruiz.
He said in the full interview that Adamek needs at least one or two more HW fights before facing a Klitschko. Imo Tony Thompson would be a good choice because of his size and ability and it should be an entertaining fight.
I think the Haye vs Klitschko fight will happen this year, as long as the contracts are fair for both parties. Being the star attraction this time around, and having won the HW title, Haye should now be in a position to negotiate a much more equitable contract.

I don't think Wlad will be able to keep Haye at bay long enough to be a danger. Haye will unload some bombs on this robotic Klit.
Yeah just like every other fighter that fights Wlad says he will. Same old B.S. from same old people.
Wlad TKO 5.
Yeah and he probably thinks Adamek would beat Wlad easily too :rofl:
The biggest problem Wlad will have with Haye is to get him in the ring to actually fight him :boxing:

Haye can KO anyone if he lands. The only way I could see Wlad winning is through being super evasive. However, due to Haye's riling of him in the media, I doubt Wlad will adopt that strategy.
if anyone needs to be super evasive its haye. wlad is bigger and stronger and also the bigger puncher with better defense
For me Haye is a Danger because he can punch, apart from that Wlad is very elusive when he wants to be, Everyone overwriting how dangerous Haye could be to Wlad is just letting hate override their boxing knowledge.
Hard to find unbiased british posters like yourself, props to you man.
