David Haye: "About the same size as George Foreman"

to get 210

 

Hayes average weight as a heavyweight is 215.6 (for his 6 fights that he counts)

I really don't get why so many people here are trying to basically argue that a circle is a square. Judging heavyweight boxers weight is very simple to do since they actually record it just prior to the fight, it's not speculation like height. It seems to me that we're witnessing extreme little man syndrome where certain posters seem to have the hump that a man they called " small, dwarf, overblown cruiser, tiny " is actually the same size as their 'giant' heroes from the past. Unbelievable.

Haye is a big man himself. 6'3 isnt small. the're just small compared to the K2s

 

while foreman is a naturally bigger man than haye, it's not by much. heavyweights are just a lot bigger these days.

 

:deal

 

ANd he has a higher kidney output and lower liver enzymes.

 

I didn't say a word about Vitali!? I just said 5 or even 10 pounds are of rather little effect on a 255 lbs boxer.

 

Big George was much stronger and "rougher" build as Haye.
A totally different body type, wich is made for raw power and more limited agility.

Completely uncomparable and I would favour Haye in a million years in a fight (any kind) between them.

 

You still get trainers of top fighters believing dumb **** like that, not long ago this sort of thing was the norm...
You're making yourself sound dumb by not believing it, either that or very young.

 

See ******s still exist...

 

That's true. Foreman wouldn't look anywhere as 'big' today as he looked compared to his 70s competitors.

 

Haye moved to Cw because he couldnt make 200 anymore. Which means he was a 200+ cutting to Cw.

Haye was probably cutting 10-20 pounds so he is a natural 215er*

So he is the same height as Foreman but not as thick. However, people are making a huge deal about the difference. It is not that huge. Remember, Haye can hit hard as hell too.

Face it, Big George would not look so big against the likes of a Vitali Klitchko

With a 5-6 inch height advantage, an iron chin, and an outboxer style. Vitali would be a nightmare H2H against Foreman. Barring a freak injury ofcourse.

 

Some of the statements made in this thread are laughable. Face it, Foreman would look small next to Audley Harrison. Foreman is not Valuev.

Ps. Thus far 62% of the voters on this thread are utterly ******ed.
