    As we all know David Haye usually fights anywhere from 15st to 15st 7lbs in majority of his heavyweight fights. What does everyone think his fight night weight will be ? Also, what weight will he be most effective at ?

    I've just seen an interview with his trainer Shane online and according to Shane his current weight is just over 16stone and he's grown into the weight, and looking at the promos of Haye so far he hasn't got any signs of a gut on him like he had a few weeks prior to some of his other heavyweight fights.

    No matter what he weighs he will always be a small heavyweight mate

    Haye has always done us the favour of looking like a heavyweight should. Whatever he weighs, he'll believe he's in shape. I think he's established that he's better when he accepts he's not a big man and speed is his advantage.

    So he is back on the steroids.

    Still with the dodgy back, shoulder, toe etc...

    And ready to pull out of the fight at a moments notice.

    No doubt no one named is ever going to sign to fight this scam artist ever again.

    Haye is pretty old now and its only natural he puts on some weight.

    Yer you naturally thicken in you 30's so I would imagine he will be a bit heavier..

    I wonder how many people will jump back on the bandwagon should he wipe out this WBA stooge in explosive fashion.

    Just over sixteen stone. Looks in shape from recent pictures.

    He used to be 230lbs at cruiserweight.. so considering he's older and coming back I would say in the 220s for sure..

    I mean he was 210s before.. so..

    Why aren't boxers ever allowed to be injured? Why can't anyone pull out of a fight injured without getting criticized from a large section of the fans?

    You are aware, aren't you, that boxing is quite a high impact sport that takes a great toll on the body?
