Haye was 217 on the scales...

I'm not sure exactly what weight Valuev fought at, but I'm pretty sure it was in excess of 300lbs

"...(apart from his legs)..." accounts for a lot of weight deficiency

I reckon that's it, he needs to hit leg day 2-3 times a week. Bulk up dem calves and thighs, he'll have better movement and add even more explosiveness to his punches.
Any physio or sport scientist could tell him that power is derived from full utilization of kinetic chains and anatomical slings.
If he added a bit more power from a spring in his legs for THAT punch in the 12th round, Fury might not have got up.

Jesus, what a monster that man was. If he had ever learned how to box, he'd have been unstoppable rather than just a circus side-show.
