    6'3 and 215-30 pounds sounds like a Heavyweight to me. Tyson was at his meanest when he was a lighterweighted Heavy. Half his problems was his desire to bulk up.

    You all are forgetting Tyson was only around 5'10. Take a guy who's roughly 5'10 (215-220) of muscle, and compare them to a guy 6'3 (215-220) of muscle, and you'll see a big difference. The difference? One guy looks like a freakin tank!....and the other one looks a little above normal.
    I've heard it's something like you should weigh 7 more pounds for every inch to be bigger than somebody. Like say 2 people lift weights...One is 6' 200 pds. A guy 6'3 would have to be around 221 for them to be even in BODY SIZE. and this is why Tyson was such a damn beast even though he was not the heaviest. He was so big really for his height, and so compact he was hard to stop.

    cheers for the video

    and even with all that extra weight it doesnt look like he has lost his speed which i think will be his determing factor when he makes the leep how do you think he will go if he fights valuevthink hayes power can effect him?

    The fact that he would be hit by an extremly hard puncher lots of times would affect him.

    Haye's major advantage at HW as you said is his speed. His handspeed is lightyears faster than anything, than any overweight HW has ever seen. :yep

    yea he certainlly has power and speed which is damn the best things to have

    he may get a few knock downs on himself on the waqy but i think haye will still get up and give the opponent a hell of a fight! loads of ko's in this fighters future fights!

    Haye is 6'3 with something like an 80" reach. The man weighs in at a solid 217. He certainly isn't too small. He is a very good size and he is in shape.

    Peter, Maskaev, Chagaev, Ibragimov, Povetkin etc aren't too small.

    Haye will be a decent size in the heavy weight division. He is 6' 3" and a big muscular bloke. Hardly small and not a size that will be intimidated by too many of the big heavys who are really just tree trunk jokes. Only Wlad will look seriously imposing against him but that is because Wlad is a freak, fortunetly Wlad is not the ATG he is made out to be.

    How much did he REALLY weigh last night ? 210 ? 215 ? 220 ?

    I expect he's already comfortable at 220+

    6'3 and he's got a good reach, he looks muscular and capable of packing on more mass.

    I dont see why anyone would call him too small.

    His problem at heavyweight will be his chin, IMO. But if he retains his speed with his punch he'll knock most guys out long before they get him.
