    Haye vs huge weight difference

    Can someone please explain why its ok for Haye to fight a dude that weighs 315lbs when he only weighs 215lb- 230lbs. I see people get pissed about a 2-7lbs weight difference when it comes to any class except HW. Why is ok for the HW's to have a huge weight difference?

      What does that say about the ability of the fighters in the lower weight classes?

        If Haye can win despite an almost 100lbs weight difference, he clowns Pac.

          TBH its a ridiculous difference in size. There should be a SHW division. And people were mad about Cotto dropping 2 pounds to fight Pacquiao?!!

            I see a big difference in weight in other HW fights to, not as big as 100lbs, but 10lb -20lbs is pretty common. Just curious as to why people make such a fuss when it comes to the little guys.

                  The size difference tonight is similar to what the size difference would be if Pac faced one of the Klitschkos.

                    I understand Valeuv is slow but you would never see Pac/Cotto/Mayweather face a dude that weighed 170lbs no matter how slow he was supposed to be. Hell Roach threatened to penalize Cotto if he came in two pounds over 145lbs. I respect all fighters no matter the size, but it seems like a double standard.
