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.

Haye's weight is not a problem Tyson and Holyfield were only 210lbs-220lbs in there best days at Heavyweight and he is 6ft 3inch he will fill out a bit more with time i think he will end up about 231lbs.

Wlads 2 main losses came against Sanders 225lbs and Brewster 226lbs so lets not get carried away with Haye only weighing 215lbs at this stage.

[The Promoter]

I don't believe Haye's weight is an issue at all, some small heavies have done very well; Tyson (early), Holyfield, Byrd, Moorer, Ruiz (sadly), etc...The bigger question is whether or not Haye's frame can take the sustained punishment at the heavyweight level and if his chin can endure Heavyweight power as well...His skills and power will make him a threat in any fight, it's his chin that will need to be sound...

One more thing lets not forget Haye hasn't got a bad chin he as been floored with head shots around temple area not by shots to the chin.

I remember when i used to say that about Amir Khan.

Hopefully Haye can take a better shot.

I will say this, when Haye was 'hurt' against Mormeck he actually stood on the advertising board on the side of the ring and i think that's what made his legs appear to go funny like he was dancing. Funny thing was, he didn't even notice and in the post fight interview he said he lost control of his legs.
