Comments Thread For: Parker-Ruiz Approved For WBO Belt, Winner Must Face David Haye

[Corelone]

David Haye? Why not? Parker needs to face a challenge outside of NZ, check out the lion's den. Ruiz will always be an underdog and sooner, or later, his body will betray him. Even if Ruiz beats Parker, he's still an underdog. The UK will be harder to conquer than NZ.

Great news to get the fight finally signed off.

But..David Haye? What has he done to earn a shot? Mashing the Mark De Mori's of the world shouldn't be a lead-in to a title fight.

Still, should Parker win, Haye will likely have to wait the maximum time to challenge - Joshua-Parker for the IBF is next (assuming Joshua still has the title).

What has Ruiz done? Beat 40 year old shot fighters? Haye is actually more deserving than him and I think Haye would drill Ruiz.

Ok so David Haye wormed his way back into a title shot, I guess this was the big announcement he was talking about.

Does that mean he will fight another pie December 10th?

Ugh. Fuck Haye.

[yoz]

What.the.actual.hell?

How has David Haye warranted a title shot?

An absolute joke.

Excellent! Now all the titles are scattered throughout the division and we have to wait 2-3 years for these "champions" to fight each other. This is exactly what I wanted as a boxing fan. Ridiculous organization. How the heck did Parker become #1 and Wlad be #2 in the first place? And Haye?!? Who has he fought to get such a ranking? Just pathetic.

Bob arum has no trouble getting his fighters wbo title fights even when they dont deserve them. Wtf haye sucks @ss.

LOL you think little joey parker is going to risk his wbo belt on joshua? Dream on son. Its 2 or 3 or 4 bum defences before he is forced to either vacate or defend it against haye.

Uhhh, Joshua and Parker have a March deadline for their IBF mandatory. How the hell is Parker going to fit in 2,3 or 4 title defenses of the WBO before then? If he wins it in December, and needs even a minimum 8 week camp (which is still undercooking) for a potential unification fight with Joshua, Parker would have effectively two months from the day he wins the WBO, to take voluntaries. 4 voluntary defenses in 2 months? Get the **** outta here.

I think you need to get a calendar dude. And a clue - you think Parker would vacate the title before fighting Haye? Come on man. Parker and DUCO were happy to fight Joshua in November, but stepped aside for Hearn to chase the big dollars (and fair enough).

What has Ruiz done? Beat 40 year old shot fighters? Haye is actually more deserving than him and I think Haye would drill Ruiz.

Not a whole lot, but at least he's been active.

Ruiz has beaten three outta three nobodies this year.

David Haye has beaten two outta two nobodies in the last four years.

Mother FUCKER.

DIPPED DUCKED AND DODGED DAVID HAYE.

And if Haye gets a belt, you know he's going strait into a fight with AJ.

WAR BRIGGS. FUCK HAYE. LETS GO CHAMP!
