I seriously can't wait for this**, rather than strapping weights to him perhaps Williams will put helium balloons under his tracksuit to make him lighter?

(** note can't wait for the weigh in not the fight.)

Any predictions for Dannys allegedly 'low' (stop laughing at the back) weight?

I say 276 lbs

dookus · Post by **dookus** » 07 Dec 2006, 10:30

He was 288 last time, and 263 the time before. I reckon 277.

Jeez why didn't the bookies make a spread bet on Danny's weight, it would have generated more interest than the fight itself.

Have you ever seen Williams pro debut v Vance Ideans? The sole fight in his entire career he weighed less than 230. I stumbled upon it a while ago in my old video stack. Its frickin bizarre he's actually toned & muscular (difficult to picture i know)

I say he's gonna come in at 227, he's taking it back to the old school.

Hahahahaha, yeah. fornicate Valuev, I think Danny is the strongest argument yet for a Dreadnaughtweight class being set up.

Just think - WBA champ Tye Fields, WBC champ Dynamite Danny, IBF champ Valuev, WBO champ Julius Long. Billing for a unification fight: "For those that like it sloooooow...."

I'll take a whopping 293.

Just read this in the Mirror

DANNY WILLIAMS last night claimed that beating Mike Tyson was the worst thing ever to happened to him.

Williams became an overnight sensation when he stopped the former undisputed world heavyweight champion inside four rounds in 2004.

He became the new great British hope and unsuccessfully challenged Vitali Klitschko for the WBC crown five months later.

Williams, 33, admits the attention that followed went to his head, but rather than turn to drink, drugs or women, the devout Muslim binged on junk food gorging himself on Chinese takeways, curries and chocolate. "Everyone tells me beating Tyson was the best thing that ever happened to me, but if the truth be known that was far from the case," said the Brixton fighter.

"I was so pleased with myself after the win, but didn't know what to do with myself to celebrate as I don't party, don't drink and don't chase girls. So I turned to food, junk food, I just couldn't get enough of it and was eating it morning, noon and night. I'd start with a 250g bar of chocolate for breakfast, the first of three a day. Then it would be an Indian takeaway for lunch and a Chinese meal at night every single day.

"It reached such a stage where I couldn't train properly, I'd train three times a week and have to rest for the other four.

"I've not been in the right condition since I beat Tyson. Even when I boxed for the world title against Klitschko I wasn't 100 per cent. When I had to lose weight it was only because I went on the Atkins diet without saying anything and then people would tell me I looked great. But after losing to Klitschko I started winning again and because I was winning I kept doing the same old things."

Williams finally realised he needed to change his lifestyle when he lost his Commonwealth title to Matt Skelton in July. He was a staggering 20st 5lbs, wrongly thinking he could win simply by bulking up.

He looked in much better shape at yesterday's head-to-head for his rematch with Audley Harrison at the ExCeL centre in London, and expects to come in at about 18st 10lbs.

He predicted another defeat for Harrison after beating him 12 months ago, adding: "Losing to Skelton was the wake-up call I needed. I realised I was close to throwing it all away.

"When I beat Harrison on Saturday night I won't even think about picking up a choc bar to celebrate."

I thought he started eating fuckloads cos of his shingles. 18st 10 would be a step in the right direction, but it's still 2 stone too heavy (at least) for a man of 6 foot 1.

The other day I watched an old tape that had his Nov 1996 fight against Michael Murray and Danny was looking a very young and slim 235½.

Who would have thought 10 years and one month later.........

To be fair to Danny he never looks grossly flabby or anything like that, he does carry the wight quite well... but over his last few fights his workrate has dwindled to the point of being non-existent, I think he should be weighing around 245-to-252... anything over 252 is just too much... he's talking the talk but can he still do the walk?... to be honest I'd hate to see him lose to Audely on Saturday....
