That's 213lbs vs 243lbs.

I watched it as well on Sky Sports News. I was predicting Haye would be 15 stone 5lbs and I got Klitschko's weight spot on., the atmopshere looked at the weigh in, I loved the British fans chanting who have gone out to see it "You Are Supposed to Be at home".

Haye looks absolutely ripped

Good weight for both guys especially Haye who will need to be light as possible on his feet but still be big enough to take out Klitschko.

on a sidenote, as much as i admire Lennox lewis' boxing achievements he makes for a very poor commentator and just states the bloody obvious all the time, no insight at all.

Haye has actually come in a little lighter than previously, surprising, as I thought he looked bigger than usual in the pre fight pictures. Must be going for speed, which is definitely a good move. I thought Haye might have tried to muscle up for the clinches, but I guess he figures he doesn't want to let it get to the point where he's being clinched.

Wlad has also come in quite light, I've noticed that he varies his weight quite a lot from fight to fight.

Quality from the Brits.

klitschko looks very calm and collected, it looks ominous for haye..... good odds at william hill, klitchko KO in early rounds.... between 20 and 33/1

Since 2000 his lowest has been 240 1/2 and his highest has been 247. 6 1/2 pounds of a 10 year period and for someone of his size hardly varying much

I can't wait now. HA'WAY DAVID HAYE!!

Have to agree there!

Pretty light for Haye. Might mean a return to the running round the ring tactics we saw against Valuev.

the trouble is for haye, much as i like the size of his stones, and i know he will go out on his shield swinging for england....i cant forget people who have embarassed hayes chin in the past.....thwaites(?sp).....Mock.....thompson......barrett......Ruiz...... all hurt haye!!!..... or put him down.

its hayes chin that will probably be his downfall. if haye lands big klitschko might go down, if klitschko lands big...haye WILL go down...unfortunately.

238 for Chagaev.

I'm not saying he has massive swings in weight, but I think he chooses his weight for fights.

Great support for Haye, but I'm not a big fan of football chants, booing the opponent or their anthem etc at boxing matches. Cheer your heart out for your man by all means but otherwise just enjoy the fight.

Klitschko hardly ever knocks anyone out earl, save your money leforge mate.

Yeah, but Haye probably has the worst chin of anyone Klitchsko's fought in the last decade at heavyweight.

I'd be tempted myself - If he plants one on Haye early, he definitely has the power to stop him cold.

240 1/4 according to boxrec! It doesn't really matter either way though

I don't want to sound rude mate, but you're talking rubbish. Check Wlad's record.

ouch, don't like falling out with a main player like yourself on here, but mate, get real.......

Shouting England when supporting an Englishman is hardly out of order is it? i LOVE the fact there are so many prepared to turn up at a weigh in and make Haye feel like we are there. All the chanting is part of what we bring to the table as fans....

Valuev part 2 incoming!

I've always insisted the Valuev tactic will not work but of course Booth knows better so I trust him.

Yeah for a tough sport like boxing you need fans who are hard enough to shout abuse at fighters from behind barriers with a bunch of their equally out of shape drunken mates.

I realise it's part of the game when any British fighter goes abroad, but I always think just cheer you man on, relax, have a beer and enjoy the fight.

Personally speaking, I don't really like the fact that these big away fights seem to have turned into an England football crowd over the last decade. I feel like it changed a lot during the Hatton years where although the people abroad were impressed with the size of the support for the british fighter and the noise (as was I), they were less impressed with the booing of anthems/jingoistic songs/throwing up from drinking too much etc (as was I). I know a few lifelong boxing fans who were really dissapointed about the Hatton fans booing the national anthem of another country so vociferously.

Going abroad to big fights has now become the fashionable thing to do, and it has resulted in the fact that you can be in Vegas sitting next to someone who is singing rule brittania etc but doesn't have the slightest clue about boxing.

People might think that's fine - I just preferred the olden days when you could still get right behind the fighter but without the football crowd. I wouldn't be surprised to hear songs being sung about the war etc in Hamburg and that's an unfortunate part of the way that away boxing crowds have changed in recent times imo.

Perhaps its because I'm Scottish, and when I'm abroad supporting a British fighter I don't want to spend the night singing ingerland ingerland ingerland. I feel like it used to be a more british rather than english atmosphere even for english fighters.

I guarantee the crowd will be singing 10 German Bombers in the air, the dambusters etc tomorrow night!

I'll make you a sportsmans bet that Wladimir does not stop Haye. If I win, you have to issue a public apology on here and likewise.
