david haye looks way bigger

[Cinci Champ]

Seems like anyone who gets bigger or looks good now is automatically considered a drugs cheat by many so-called boxing fans. No wonder the sport is dying.

I thought he looked good for not having fought in 3 years. Showed great reflexes and the finish was vintage Haye.
But i wonder with the added weight if he can fight for more than 3 rounds. And we dont know if he can be as elusive as he used to be. He cant afford to be aggressive against the big boys.

Still, he does add a bit more excitement to the division. All his past nonsense is forgiven.

ya i feel ya but at the same time lets not put our heads in the ground and not pretend pro sports is showered in ped use

The KO punch had good speed and timing on it.

Prior to that yeah he looked a little wide on a couple of shots..falling off balance on two occasions that I can remember now - it stood out because DeMori was so static...Haye missed hitting a statue. Not sure how long he's been working on boxing lately but maybe another training camp things will tighten up a bit. Was it added bulk or compensating for a shoulder he can only throw in a certain way. We'll see.. He still remains one of the better athletes at HW

Nobody can beat this version of Haye. He's simply too fast and too powerful today. He also wear much better shorts so he will be unstoppable from now on.

THE HAYEMAKER IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haye's always had phenomenal punching power but he was small for a heavyweight. He's bigger now so I imagine he'll be more competitive. Too soon for AJ to face him, but a hype job like Wilder would be an interesting fight.

Being heavier doesn't mean jack when he's still a cruiserweight at bone structure and shorter. He'd be better off being agile and fast with sharp power than trying to out-strengthen the bigger men.

I think most of the added weight is due to the inactivity and with consistency will drop off.

Looks like he's added 17lbs of fat to me, most of it on his thighs.

[lopetego]

His movement speed is visibly slower, his hand speed and power are still there, and so are his counter punching skills, no other HW does that better than Haye, that final right counter was beautiful. Haye's comeback looking promising so far, let's hope he remains active and gets into contender position soon

I don't care what anyone says; this is exciting for the division. Another big personality and a big puncher. Stop hating. We need this.

PED's can give you stamina and strength.

PED's cannot give you reflexes, speed, heavy hands, skills, or ring IQ.
