Tyson Fury weighs in at 279

That is the problem with the heavyweight division - NOBODY is in shape!

The only people in shape are the Klit's and surprise surprise, they have a monopoly on the division.

Haye is in shape but has the dodgy chin that nothing can be done about.

They don't build champs like Norton, Ali, Liston, Tyson, Lewis etc anymore.

I agree Al, it's a sad state of affairs when fighters in what's supposed to be the most exciting division are so out of shape. It's bad for these guys' careers and more importantly it's bad for the sport

Although I understand what you mean, I have never understood the whole 'Heavyweight is where it's at' malarky!


As boxing fans, isn't middle/light whelter the best division??

Heavies have for me pissed on their chips, I can't stand seeing guys leaning on each other! I find myself raging at the tele shouting such stuff as..... Its a BOXING match FFS not a test of who can tire who out first


I for one think the lower in weight the better boxers

[El Kabong]

Maybe you're right, but if you gave people the option to see two guys who weigh 154 stand toe to toe and battle it out and two heavyweights stand toe to toe and battle it out then the majority of people would rather see the heavyweights...as great as Gatti-Ward I-III were Bowe-Holyfield I-III is more impressive because it's big guys trading bigger punches.



And AdamGB, STEVE BUNCE, that's the link between Haye and Fury and who is hyping them up.
