Barrett weighs in 11lbs heavier than Haye

[Wayne]

I thought Haye said he was weighing 227. Why the weight loss? Maybe he felt he performed better when he took off some of the fat, but as I recall, in those pics he was pretty ripped.

230 pounds I thought? Isn't that what he said he was?

[Bomp]

It's a good weight for him, no point being something he isn't by putting on three stone then realising he can't move after three rounds with the extra dead weight.

That's a good weight for Haye. I'm glad he didn't bulk up too much for this fight.

I agree 215 is a good start weight, and we'll see how much speed and explosiveness he retains.. like Bomp said no use put on extra weight right now just to be blowing out his ass after 4 rounds.. Im sure by the time he fights Klit he will be up in the 225-230 mark, if the speed is still there

215 is tiny by HW standards though, especially if power is his tactic.

I think Hayes weight is not a problem when it comes to his power if he lands that overhand right i think a man of anysize would feel it, i think to impose himself at that weight will be a problem especially against the Klits, i honestly cant see him imposing himself against them two, he will be blown away by them both imo.

He's definately got conrete blocks in his hands, but I'm not so sure that power will have the same effect of guys that are that much bigger than him. I will wait and see, but in the HW division weight is a huge factor as far as power goes.
