Is heavyweight champ Haye a "Pacquiao Man" or a "Mayweather Man" on blood tests? -- Examiner

He's not the second coming of Cassius Marcellus Clay/Muhammad Ali.

But all in all, he's not that bad. He can fight more than a little bit. OK, nobody human or otherwise looks good against John Ruiz. That is the one thing Ruiz is good at.

David Haye has gotten his mandatory WBA heavyweight title defense out of the way and now he gets to make some serious jack and get some well-deserved publicity in America.

Let's hope he's not even thinking of a rematch with hulking 7'2, 320 lbs. Nikolai Valuev from whom he won the title.

Let's hope Ruiz doesn't file a stupid protest of Saturday's fight to get an immediate rematch with Haye.

I'm talking about either of those two white brothers of the Ukranian Klitchko family. The first closest to a pen and a fax machine wins. I don't care.

We (Americans) don't have time for "The Hayemaker" to pull a "Riddick Bowe" and go visit the Pope against the late Eddie Futch's wishes.

Decisions such as that are why Bowe is trying to get licensed to fight at Indian Reservations /casinos across America for chump change as we speak here.

Next to fighting, what Haye does best, maybe better, is promote himself.

But all we need is for him to sign to fight a Klitschko next and America, its fame, glory, charms and riches, are Haye's to be had.

No Big Ugly Bear like Sonny Liston to get past first. Just come and get the money against either old Klitschko.

Don't sign with Golden Boy Promotions! Oh, he already did that.

Don't get involved with these ridiculous blood/urine tests Golden Boy and Floyd Mayweather are using to hold up a Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight and embarrass everyone's new heavyweight friend, Jerry Jones.

I don't know where Haye stands right on the blood right now, but already being signed with Golden Boy frightens me.

Even though Haye has signed with Golden Boy, maybe he'll think like Manny Pacquiao or Freddie Roach and the crew at the Swingin' Wild Card and not try to save the world, boxing, the dolphins and just stick to his next fight.

Haye is the first breath of fresh air heavyweight boxing has seen in many years and he simply has to say he's a "Pacquiao Man" or a "Mayweather Man" so America will know if boxing has a chance for a comeback or if it's going to go even lower in public approval.

Talk to him, Manny.
