Comments Thread For: Photos: Klitschko vs Haye Weigh-In, Pulled Apart Again

[hweightblogger]

If Haye is really 6'3 then he looks like a huge 212 to me. Looking at his size in the photos I would have guessed somewhere around 225.

This is exactly the reason why people think that Sonny Liston or Muhammad Ali or Frazier have been heavyweights.

They were all former cruisers who would be at the bottom-weight of what is now considered heavyweight:

Muhammad Ali: Average weight 211 lbs (average opponent weight:204lbs)
Joe Frazier:206lbs (204lbs)
Sonny Liston: 211 lbs (200 lbs)

Modern heavies would blow these "golden boys" out of the ring within a few rounds.
