    Mike was not top heavy friend. Mike had THIGHS! Many pro trainers often spoke that his legs were the source of his great power punching.

    Yeah that's the one thing I always realized with Haye. He's in amazing shape but it's all upper body b/c he has tiny legs. Which is probably why he's always off-balance. This fight will be very interesting hopefully. B/c I hope Valuev fights angry in this fight.

    And Mike was really only 5'8" and 222. His physique was tank like, and in many ways, old school.

    Yeah Mike had some legs on him so idk what the other person is talking about. His calves were normal but his thighs were huge.

    Hayes legs have looked bigger in training, so much so that lots of people have mentioned it.

    Most of the top heavyweights are on performance enhancing drugs or hormones, people.

    Mike would run several flights of stairs carrying 100 lbs to build his legs. I remember he mentioned that in an interview once. It was when Mike abandoned the old ways, and his original trainer, that his physique changed along with his style of fighting.

    Dudes, Haye looks like a heavyweight should! He's trained hard, its his time. Haye by K.O Mid rounds. Come on David, due us a favour
     
  12. Haye is way too light. I was expecting him to come in 235lbs. +

    Not good for David, IMO.

    WTF? I thought saying 5'8 was extreme but 5'6!?!

    I thought he was about 5'10?

    5' 3 1/2" is my best guess.
    But built like a TANK, yes.
