Weigh in!

[El Kabong]

Not according to the man himself....

Wlad 30lbs heavier than Haye | Sky Sports

Would this be the same man that said his natural heavyweight range would be about 225-230

Hang on one minute Lyle whilst I try and find someone who gives a shit...........done, couldnt find anyone

[armyash]

Hayes very light!

Can't believe he's a heavyweight he looks so much smaller

Well yeah a little over 2 stone lighter than wlad,i didnt think he looked massivly smaller tho..shit camera angle for the weigh in!

[AdamGB]

Other than the camera angle where they stuck the camera underneath Haye - he didn't really look that much smaller...

[brocktonblockbust]

30 lbs of blassstin power, not lookin good for the over-trained Haye. I think Haye will come in exhausted. Short night for Wlad. I change my KO7 to KO4 for Wlad.

[armyash]

The effect of the size difference will depend on the tactics of both men anyway so i wont be reading too much in to it

[Spicoli]

Sounds weird for a Wlad fight but if ever he should keep the right sparse I think it's with Haye here. Just vary that jab and should keep Haye nicely out of sorts and resetting shots. Hayes best chance is for Wlad to negate advantages and over commit right, shorten himself. Hey, I think Haye gives a shot in the arm to division...Wlad can be a snoozy bore, but more and more I think Wlad paints his face rushing in and stops him.

Just seen Vitali saying Haye is too small for HW at 212lbs. Well I have news for him, Evander Holyfield at 212lbs in his prime would have beaten both Klits on the same night and he was a former CW moving up like Haye. I'm not saying Haye is Evander but to say a man who is that lean and weighs 212lbs is not a HW is stupid. Ali was lighter than that when he battered Liston and that version of Ali would have crucified both Klits at the same time never mind on the same night. Again I'm not saying Haye is any Muhammad Ali, what I am saying is I am agreeing with Adam that if Haye doesn't win it is because he is not good enough.

I hope Wald knocks his ass through the ropes. crap English fans have put me off.

Granted they could use some vocal coaching, maybe song selection has left alot to be desired and it is annoying, but I think crap is a bit strong

That's what I love about the Brits.

Seeing as he's spent the past few months working out for sometimes 8 hours a day I'd guess that he probably is naturally 10 pounds heavier.

Unless you count that ammount of training as 'normal'

But like Hornfinger said - does it really matter what he said?

You seem nervous all of a sudden to me Lyle. You should know that a puncher weighing 212lbs can KO anybody let alone a man who has had SERIOUS issues with his chin. Yet you think Haye is looking to go the distance?? He is looking for speed and I have a feeling he is going to go straight for the kill. When Wlad grabs he is going to bang him round the back of the head a few times and probably lose a point but it will make Wlad think twice and the second that happens with someone as fast as Haye you are fucked.

As for the weigh in itself I was proud to be British when I heard the crowds response to the fighters. That is what it will be like in the stadium too and that is a huge boost for Haye. It has made an away fight seem like a home fight.
