Haye vs Ruiz likely for April 3rd at the O2 arena.

[The Hammer]

Haye will likely win, although it won't be easy.

So we can at least hope for Haye-Vitali in the fall, perhaps October.

as boring as ruiz is, he is very risky for haye. ruiz is a crafty veteran and hes going to have a natural size advantage over haye. i think haye is going to box onthe outside and look for openings for his power shots. at the end of the day haye's speed will win him the fight. this fight will get him used to the feeling of fighting a natural heavyweaight whos going to try to outmuscle him.

Ruiz is shorter than David i think, i still think Dave can make 225 reasonably easily, he should try and do that, i think its going to be like with Holyfield, he grew into heavyweight, going from 202 in his heavyweight debut to 215+

Didn't Haye weigh-in 217 lbs in his last fight?

218

what im saying is, Evander weighed 202 in his debut, and levelled out around 217.

Haye weighed 215 in his debut, and he is 2 inches taller than evander, so there is no reason that David cant level out at 225-230lbs

True, but I think David Haye is a natural HW now...he used to kill himself to make the weight at cruiserweight and his legs were weak there. The weak chin thing is a myth IMO it had more to do with him being weight drained and now he is at his comfortable weight, so I reckon he will perform better here since he can eat healthy, train hard and make the weight. The only disadvantage he will have is fighting much bigger men than he was used too and giving up in height and reach against some of the taller fighters.
