While I haven't seen the weigh-in pics, this looks like a good sign for Haye. He wasn't quite fast enough against Ruiz and got hit more than he should have. He'll likely be much faster at 210. Many commentators describe Haye as a natural heavy, but I wonder whether he will consider trying to lose that extra 10 lbs for a final fight at cruiser, presumably against whoever comes out on top in the upcoming cruiser unifications fights.
Haye is gonna be lighting fast. One thing about fighting at HW he can pick apart and do what he pleases
This should stop all the BS talk of how Haye had to undergo a terrible weight-draining regime to make weight at CW.
Haye was a skinny dude at cruiser, but he never looked unhealthy at the weight like Adamek did at light heavy. Clearly Haye can make cruiser but its doubtful that is the best possible Haye.
Since 2005 Haye claimed he was draining to make cruiserweight. In the Frag and Mormeck post-fights that says he doesn't feel optimal at 200 lbs. He said it weakened his legs and this allowed Mormeck to tag him.
I've heard it dozens of times here at ESB. Whenever somebody questioned Haye's chin there were always a bunch of clowns claiming that Haye's chin is actually very good, his knockdowns and wobbly legs just "due to the terribly weight-draining diet he had to undergo to make weight at CW"

Haye is going to pillage Audley. I will be completely shocked if Audley makes it entersting for more than a round or two.
210 seems like great weight for him. It would be nice if other heavyweights would come in to fights trim.
