Anyone who can see Haye can see he is pure muscle.
10LBS of muscle is a lot of weight.
Water weight is another issue.

You do realise 10lbs is quite a lot of weight to cut to get down to 200lbs?
I'll repeat (in case you were too dense to get it the first time,) MOST CWs come into the ring at 210 to 215 lbs, the extra 10 to 15 pounds being water weight that they shed prior to the weigh in.
Pac came into the ring at 147 for for a 130 lb fight FFS. Do you think he gained 17 pounds of muscle overnight? lolol

Not many, and also it shows in his performaces. His workrate has increased since then and his power too.
Pac actually looks so much more muscular.
Haye at Cruiser has said he has not eaten properly and his legs felt thin and weak. 210 may be the lowest that he can get to, and coming in at 200 may be the point where he doesn't feel right.
Even Pac himself says that he does not need to worry so much on weight and can concentrate on boxing. I am a huge Pac fan so don't even bother saying I'm a hater.
Not every fighter is a Pacquiao. Heck how comes AA says 160 is too hard?
How comes Cotto is weight drained at 145 but he weighed in at 146 the fight before.
I repeat, 10 lbs of muscle, which Haye is very muscualr is a lot to lose.

I often lost 7 or 8 lbs overnight in high school to make weight for wrestling, and I only had about an hour or two to rehydrate, not the 24 to 36 hours pro boxers have. And 8 lbs was a higher % of my bodyweight than 10 is to Haye (this was wrestling at 138.)
To repeat most boxers WW or higher lose 10 lbs or more of water weight for the weigh in. Weight which they add back before they get into the right. Pac did this at 130 and 135, but now he's coming into the right within 4 lbs or so of the weigh in, which is the exception, not the norm. Paul Williams came into the ring at 165 vs Quintana the first time, for a 147 fight. Again, do you think that was muscle?
