Valuev & Haye just weighed in...

[Conrad]

That's why, just read read on Boxingscene that Sky initially announced the incorrect weight of 16 st 6lbs. Knew I'd seen that!

If Valuev was as lean as Haye I think he would weigh about 265lbs. He looks fat, everyone was saying he was in top physical condition, but no he is not!

[Darth_Simasu]

No he doesn't look in good condition at all however I've heard it's far harder to reach a certain fitness if you're over 7 ft tall. Something to do with the joints and bones. I can't imagine he does much running. I'd love to find out how much Valuev can bench press though.

My prediction for tomorrow is for a Valuev win on points. Valuev will clip Haye on the chin atleast once and he'll be going down. People forget how poor Haye's chinhas been in the past let alone his questionable stamina! He's fought about 7 rounds in 2 years hasn't he??

I see nothing more than a Haye loss here I'm afraid. I'd love it if he won though. Would be fab for British boxing and the Heavyweight scene.

Every time Haye has been over it is from a shot to the top of the head as in temple area not a shot to the chin FACT.

That's even more of a concern because the chin is the best place to catch someone and with a big reach like Valuev's he's gonna land with the jab dozens of times in this fight.

Well if you want to lose your money put it on Valuev. You will get a good price if you shop around. You can get 10/3 for a Valuev KO and 4/1 for a decision win.

. I can't imagine he does much running. I'd love to find out how much Valuev can bench press though.

To look at him: probably not an impressive amount, and if compared to his body weight probably nothing terms of relative strength.

He's big, knows how to use it and can spoil... but athletically speaking he's pretty useless.

Size, not strength is his only stand out asset.

Saw this reply to the same question on another forum that made me laugh

He's probably not pound for pound strong. But he's strong in absolute terms.
An a beetle can lift 50 times it's body weight, but a horse can only lift about half it's own weight. Still, if they fought, my money is on the horse.

[AdamGB]

What if it's a venomous beetle or a beetle carrying some form of deadly parasite/virus and the horse hasn't had it's sugar lumps?

Well he doesn't look like he could bench press much i doubt he is as strong as me im 5ft 11inch 18stone (252lbs) and i can bench press 170kg (374lbs) or 26stone 10lbs

I hope that smiley means you aren't being serious? You reckon you can bench 4 plates a side?

It depends what he is bencing. I bench 100 kg free weights (work high reps usually, 70 reps of 80kg), but on a machine I have been as high as 200kg. When you don't have to balance high weights are far easier so it is not so absurd.
