    He doesn't drop 20 to 30 at once. He gradually works his way down to about 210 or 215, then drops to 200 for the day before the fight.

    Whats are you on about m8 i have said haye drops 20/30 lbs from his weight which he does, then you said i was wrong and said he only drops 15, it doesn't matter when he drops the weight he drops 20/30 pounds to make cruiserweight.

    Because you are making the mistaking of assuming that him weighing 217 isn't his fighting weight at heavy, it most likely will be.

    How have i mistaken anything if he weighs 230 pounds outside the ring he will drop 20/30 pounds to make cruiserweight, so even fighting at heavyweight at 217 he has dropped 13 pounds from his walk around weight.

    And somehow you think Haye is so unique that he is the only fighter that does that. You Haye fans are something else. Manny Pacquiao weighs 130 the day before the fight and 145 the day of, yet you never hear him complain about being severely weight drained. He also walks around at around 150 to 160 when he isn't fighting, Hatton up to 180. Haye walks around at 230, when he gets in shape he is down to around 215, he cuts about 15 pounds to make weight.

    Even at 217 lbs he was lean as you can get thats why he is weight drained at 200 lbs, you just seem to want to argue about nothing.

    He can get a belt but I dont see him becoming the man in the division. He appears to have a shaky beard. If mormeck hurt him, I'm sure Wlad, Peter, and a few others will remove his head.

    He will be sprawled out on the canvas by the first heavy handed guy he faces.

    Haye did a great job in KO'ing Mormeck, i thought he would lose by decision. But Haye will be KO by most heavyweights.

    With him being at his natural weight and 100%, he'll surprise all of you. I would honestly put my life on him being a top 3 HW by 2010, and not being ko'ed along the way. Easily.

    Hope he works on bringing that left arm up though.

    i think he'll get top 10.

    he'll always be vulnerable i think.

    tommy hearns type of vulnerability about him that makes him fun to watch.

    i can't wait tbh. :yep
