John Ruiz Contacts WBA To Prevent Haye-Valuev Bout

[The_Visitation]

What will likely happen is that they'll have Valuev fight his mandatory Ruiz, and if he decides to, Haye will fight the winner of Ruiz-Valuev sometime in 2010.

No chance. This is Don King we are talking about here, and Haye is no mug either. They knew this would happen, and Ruiz knew that they knew it would happen. He just wants his cut to stand aside, which he will no doubt get.. it will already be in the budget. As will any money needed by the WBA, come to that.

Why didn't team Valuev work to ensure they could sort out Ruiz?

Pay him off behind the scenes, promise him a fight soon, anything.

Don't go to all the effort of signing a fight, relasing it to the world press, and then the mandatory guy files a complaint to block it.

That's just amatuerish.

Ruiz should chase a rematch with jones, oh no he wouldnt want to look like a twat again lol

Haye didn't lose to Valuev in his last fight for a start!

Ruiz's fights against Valuev were arguably wonm by Ruiz. I thought so anyway, as did many others.

Ruiz is right. After losing 4 out of his last six fights, he's due for a title shot.
