    No amount of stones will add sturdiness to his chin

    Agreed, that's why Fury has to jab, double jab, and triple jab to keep that guy off of him. When Haye jumps in, which he will, grab that ******* and lean on him with all your body weight. He'll get tired. That's probably Fury's game plan. I think the BULLY factor is going to work this time, he has trained with K'Bros, but him being KOed? I could see it. Hard fight to call, but I'll give the advantage to Fury on the size difference.

    :good:good:good

    Yup......my sentiments exactly.

    Wladimir clearly wrote the book on how to beat Haye without even hitting him. Simply apply pressure, staying outside a CP, and when he lunges in, simply tie him up and let him flop.:yep

    People forget how good haye's timing is, and fury is quite a large slow moving target.

    Comparing fury and vlad is laughable, fury has a bad habit of getting drawn into to a brawl and even when he does try to box smart using his height and reach he does that wrong also.

    But his heavyweight wins are not that much higher calibre than the bums Fury has beat.
    Valuev was coming off a gift decision against a 46-year-old Holyfield. Valuev was utter garbage and looking to get out of the sport.
    Ruiz was a joke mandatory contender, washed-up, hadn't won a meaningful fight in about 4 years.
    Audley Harrison was utter garbage. Never ever a contender, and 39-years old.
    Monte Barrett was nothing special.
    Chisora .... Fury's fought and beat already.
    Tomasz Bonin ? C'mon.

    The Steve Cunningham of April 2013 would probably beat most of those guys, or at least stand an even chance.

    Haye might be more experienced against a better class of opponent, but it's not really a lot of difference.

    I don't know what them "stones" exactly mean if it comes to weight, but I expect it means he will come in lighter and probably in better shape as before.

    Still it won't fix his biggest issue and that's his vulnerability for the looping right hand, wich probably will be key in this fight.

    A stone is 14 pounds.
    18 stone is 252 pounds.

    So, 18stone 7lb = 259 pounds

    I expect Fury to weigh around that, but I doubt he'll be 9% body fat. The body fat percentage figures thrown around in all sports and fitness are meaningless. For a start, people just talk crap, and also there are a variety of ways of measuring and most aren't particularly accurate.
    It's kind of irrelevant. We can see how fat a guy is by looking at his waist and overall definition.
    Of course, at heavyweight especially, being very lean or ripped isn't always the better option. Depends on the individual.

    I'd be shocked if he was 9% bodyfat, he usually looks closer to 19% than 9% in most of his fights. Even if he is ripped it won't make a difference, his skills are still sorely lacking, only a matter of time before Haye lands and stops him.

    Regardless anyone who thinks Haye is going to engage witrh Fury is delusional. This will be a repeat of the Valuev and Wlad fights. Should be an easy points win for Fury if he fights the right fight.

    That's what I thought but then he finished Chisora in style.

    that's because 3 out of the 4 KD's happened when Haye hit Ruiz in the back of the head, the only clean KD happened 30 seconds into the fight
