QUOTE (Maxy @ Apr 2 2010, 10:11 AM)  Ruiz looks old and shop worn. If you didn't know who he was you'd think he was pushing 50. He looks like a Boys and Girls Club team leader. |

He looks like he woke up 20 minutes ago and ran through the clothes line on his way to the weigh in. A shave wouldnt go amiss

QUOTE (salvador @ Apr 2 2010, 10:08 AM) Are you sure Clottey got $1.5MM for that fight? It's a bit hard to imagine that he would've been paid anywhere close to that much if he was promoted by someone else. That was just the bonus Jerry Jones gave him for The Farce In Dallas. QUOTE (Sweetness @ Apr 2 2010, 10:09 AM) Please, no QuackMeow Beardo. It's just not good. CEO has offered up Stackiao. That's much better. Or how about Trackiao? Needle marks and all. Welcome back. The moment I got kicked outta here, someone was taking me to task for that "sophomoric" name calling. CEO banished me before I could thank whoever it was for the compliment. But I will take your suggestion under advisement. |

Hopkins and David Haye is funny. What he has on his hands NOT isn't a foregone conclusion and Hopkins CAN'T keep pulling rabbits out of his hat. A better fight for him would be James Toney.
That said, Haye would annihilate him as Hopkins "Ruiz Lite" tactics wouldn't work with someone who's BIGGER, QUICKER and stronger than him. |

QUOTE (Keith @ Apr 2 2010, 12:13 PM) Ruiz....win or lose against Haye? No no...only if he beat Haye. Then Hop has what he would deem to be an easy mark for a heavyweight strap; not much unlike Maskaev. If Haye wins, Hopkins is not moving up to fight him...I just don't buy it. Haye is too big and too athletic. Ruiz, while bigger, is not athletic at all. |

I believe that Hopkins has lost his mind if he gets in the ring with Haye. |

Hopkins mind is there...if Adamek had a belt, I could see him moving up and fighting him because I think he would view it as a heavier version of Pavlik; but the giants or the bigger athletic guys are not really going to be people he moves to heavy to fight. |
