According to reports on fw website they think he had weights on his legs.

Who knows but i expect he more like 19stone today, trying to play mind games maybe.

fornicate a pig! 283! What is Danny thinking (other than he's going to shaft my BPN prediction)?

I really doubt hanging weights from his willy is going to give Danny a psychogical edge somehow.

He was 265 for his run out in June, 18lb less than the weigh-in today. Did he walk in to the weigh-in with a swagger like a cowboy?

Hope I'm wrong, but I felt Danny winning this one would depend a lot on his conditioning and his mentality. And I don't think either are looking too good judging by today.

He must have weights on if he was heavier in June. Surely he wouldn't come in that heavy, not unless he thinks being the heavier man will allow him to lean more on Skelton and wear him down. Yet again it looks like Dannys tactics will blow up like an egg in his face.

If he really is 283 lbs (which I doubt) then he's knackered because the heavier Williams is the worse he fights, thats been the pattern all the way through his career.

And also it makes an arse out of my prediction that he'll win by 1st round KO.

trainer Jim McDonnell explained: "Skelton likes to wrestle guys around the ring and Danny needs to be able to stand up to that.

"Now Danny can either throw Skelton around on the inside or use his better boxing skills to beat him on the outside.

"Danny is really up for the fight and he will have too much in every department. Skelton is brave but I don't think bravery is going to be enough."

I can't see how being heavier is going to help Williams it didn't do anything for him when he fought Klitchsko.

Maybe Williams did have weights in his tracksuit, trying to play mindgames, but i can't see Skelton being bothered by it, he has fought in K1 and in a few hotly contested boxing matches.
I'm still going to go for Williams to win , but if this is his real weight then he has some issues to face up to.

Danny Williams is one big lazy fat MF!

How can he come in at over 20 stones?

He always insists on coming in heavy, but it just slows him down. What is Jim McDonnell thinking of? :x

He's only 6ft 1in, he should only weigh about 16 1/2 stones (231lbs)! :x

He'll be blowing like a hurricane after 2 rounds!!!!!!

Danny Williams; you are one big lazy momma's house!!!! :x

Says on FW's site that he winked at Mc Donnell and refused to take off his pants so he must of been hiding something under there! Either that or he eat shite to put on 18 pounds so quickly as he was 264 for his last bout!

That is crazy shit as it was more than Riddick Bowe's weight against Zumbrun!

Is Amir Khan fighting at light welter since they say he weight in at 9 stone 12?

Crazy tactics from Williams, Williams won't last - he has got to KO Skelton early (something he IS capable of doing).
