Does John Ruiz really have a chance to beat Haye?

[Uturn]

I mean Ruiz is no push over but he is old and hasn't had a big win in years.. So does anyone actually think Ruiz could pose a threat and possibly get a decision over Haye? I know it seems a long shot but Ruiz is more then capable of bringing Haye down to a nitty gritty fight right? Of course anything is possible in boxing and everybody has a punchers chance but can Ruiz win a convincing decision?

I think he is a live dog, I mean he is boring yes but Ruiz is good.....it really hurts my soul to say that but he is.

I would go as far as to say that Ruiz is the best opponent that Haye will have faced.

Ruiz though outmatched in terms of athletic ability against Haye has a way of upsetting the flow of an opponents offense and has underrated power.

He could sneak in a right hand on a frustrated Haye later in the fight and put him down as Haye is known for a not so iron chin.

As ts said, Ruiz hasnt had a decent win in years, and he didnt look impressive vs Serrin, but with Hayes chin you never know i guess.

*Edit, someone also brought up a good point that Haye is simmilar to heavyweight roy jones in movement and handspeed, and Jones caused Ruiz all sorts of strife.

[The Hammer]

His chances are slim to none. Haye will knock him out before the 8th round, wait and see.

Im giving 5-1 odds on that fight if anyone is interested. I got Haye

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Ummm no. Haye will walk through him like a hot knife through butter.

[COVID-19]

Haye will put him to sleep.

What makes you think Haye will KO Ruiz? He's been in there with a couple of punchers and hasn't been knocked out if i remember rightly about 14 years ago. Haye is no bigger of a puncher then David Tua. I only see Haye winning a decision to be honest.

[AKATheMack]

Ruiz doesn't have a huge chance, but I give him better than 5:1 odds. I haven't seen enough of David Haye at HW to make an accurate prediction. 2years ago I would have said Haye steamrolls him, but a performance against an old journeyman Barrett and running from Valuev for 12rds hasnt impressed me.

hes a live dog
