    i dunno, i think guys if guys like sultan ibragimov lost their blubber and fought at an optimum weight, most would be even smaller than haye. i've heard that haye walks around close to 225, and that's not bad at all considering he isn't having to pump iron to reach that way the way holyfield did.

      As i said Hayes strengths are his speed and power. Everything else is average. His speed and power is such that you forget about everything else he lacks. He has been successful so far because with his speed and power he has disposed of his opponents befor they got to him.
      He will win fights at heavyweights against decent opposition but he will be close to defeat as well at any time.

        Sultan IBragimov is not fat, looks at him closely, itsj ust he got a weird body type with narrown chest and shoulders. But he is actually in shape at 220 and there is no way in hell he would lose 20 pounds.

          I haven't seen Haye fight at all but from what I hear he seems to be a skilled boxer with good speed and decent power. So, I think that the addition of David Haye to the hw division is a good thing and can only deepen the talent pool.
