    I thought he was average sized for a HW but it looks like he should go back to CW.

    Or cause Audley is tall.

    Haye is 6'2. He is as tall as most of the heavies out there.

    I thought Audley was 6'4? If so, Haye looks 6'0 from that pic.

    Unless Audley's wearing platform shoes.

    Audley is somewhere between 6ft5 and 6ft6, Haye is 6ft3.

    Don't forget, David admitted to standing on a lower surface when pictures were taken when he was stood next to Nikolai Valuev to make the big Russian look even bigger than he actually is. He also kept stating Valuev's height as 7 feet 2 inches, when it's actually 7 feet. It's to make his win (because he is going to win) look more impressive. It's his way of trying to justify fighting Audley Harrison and make the fight look tougher than it really is. I hope Audley lands a lucky punch and KOs him.

    Right.

    Haye is an average sized heavyweight.

    Harrison is one of the tallest of the currently fighting heavies.

    Only the K bros, Harrison, Dimotrenko, the big fat Urkraine guy, and Valeuv are that tall.

    Most of the heavies are Haye's size. So stop with the undersized talk.

    Audley towers over nearly all of his opponents and haye is a small ish heavyweight so this is no surprise.

    Someday casual boxing fans will realize that size doesn't win fights. Valuev is the biggest fighter in history. Where is he?

    Unless Harrison is over 6'8", they are not on level ground...

    Audley is probably standing on something. He looks 5-6 inches taller than Haye.
