    What do you think he will weigh against Wlad?

    Why the hell would he cut weight against Monte Barret? He made a comment about this on Buncey's show the other week.

    I think he meant he still had to lose a few pounds to get down to his premium fighting weight even though there is obviously no limit at heavyweight. I think he'll come in between 215 and 220.

    1. About the same, maybe a few lbs heavier.

    2. He would cut weight naturally through intense training.

    He shouldn't come in above 220. Most Klitschko opponents weight in at heavier than usual, Haye shouldn't fall into the same trap.

    Lamon Brewster - 226lbs - 6ft2
    Corrie Sanders - 225lbs - 6ft4

    both beat Wlad by KO. Haye is 6ft 3, is faster and a bigger puncher than both.

    I predict he'll come in at 15st 9lbs. Slightly more than Bonin but hes' a couple of years older and I reckon this is about his natural peak weight. He'll be in good shape you can bank on it

    I'm pretty sure Sanders probably punched as hard, if not harder...

    Regardless of his weight I hope he has improved his stamina. All that work with Ladejo on speed is useless. You would not put a 400m sprinter in a 10,000m race and expect him to last. About time Haye realised this.

    Stamina is key, Haye has excellent speed and will run circles around Wlad however whether he can do this for a full 12 s another story.

    Don't worry about the chin, Wlad is no prime Tyson.
