Big Danger for the Hayemaker?

Lennox Lewis was never lauded as much as he deserved. Part Canadian, part enigma, 100% boxing royalty. Whatever you think of him his record can't be denied.
The big man who was born in West ham but subsequently schooled and won Olympic gold for Canadia beat every one he faced inside the square circle. He won the belts 3x ala Mr.Ali, Tyson and Holyfield. He had presence, dynamite power in his paws and the ability to adjust to every size and style he faced and beat. There will never be many like him.
Lennox was the last British Heavyweight great. Some have come and gone without as much as a murmur including the next Heavyweight champion, Audley Harrison (if you believe anything he says).
But now there is a real pretender to the throne, David Haye. The man who slayed the dragon in form of cartoon caricatured Russian monster Valuev. Possibly the hairiest man ever to to be called a champ.
Ask any boxing fan a year ago what David Haye's best attributes were, his monster 'hayemaker' and his mouth would probably prove most destructive. His self confidence not far behind.
Today, just before getting in the ring for his first defence against the 2x journey man and self named 'Quiet Man' John Ruiz, Haye is a different beast.
He is a boxer and a thinker. He is also basking in the glory a little too much of becoming 'Champ'. He speaks of knocking out the Klitschko brothers a little too frequently, even before America has paid notice.
His chances against the big Ukranians is debatable, better against the younger brother than the older because he looks like a bear hugger rather than an imposing brawler.
Haye's chances against Puerto Rican Ruiz? Questionable. Ruiz hugs and holds and leans and is bigger and more experienced. Haye is the bigger puncher and more charismatic.
The Brit living in Clapham needs to get in and out sharpish or he could become fodder in a messy holding fight that would frustrate and ultimately ruin his chances of Worldwide adoration and untold riches.
Something he cleary strives for.
