    To fight Vitali Klitschko.

    Does he bulk up 225-230

    Or stay lean and quick 215-220

    Also Will his chin benefit from extra weight or is that just a myth?

    225 imo, haye needs all the power and punch resistance he can, as he is going to toe 2 toe vitali, and at 215lbs thats insane.

    I say about 215 is a good weight for him.
    He looked strong and if that's his natural weight, then that's what he should fight at.
    There is no need to "bulk up", added bulk does not often help, unless you are already the bigger guy and are hoping the bulk will wear down the smaller guy. If anything, Vitali should be the one bulking up so he can lean on and drain Haye's already suspect stamina.

    yea hes already put on 15 or 20 pounds already seems like would be a drainer to put on even more....though he is 6'3, which i thought seems pretty tall for someone to be fighting in cruiserweight previously?

    it doesnt make a difference what weight he comes in at. He loses this fight handily either way. True if he stays lighter like 210 and maintains mobility, it could get em a few more rounds. either way vitali tkos him between 5-8
