By Allan Fox: Former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (25-2, 23 KO’s) had very few kind words to say about Dereck Chisora (15-3, 9 KO’s) after watching him weigh-in at 247 pounds during Thursday’s weigh-in.

Although Chisora looked in pretty good condition for him, Haye was less than complimentary of his physique, saying to thesun.co.uk “If he thinks he’s going to beat me looking like that is is nothing but an idiot. Chisora always looks flabby. Maybe if he stood next to the ordinary man in the street, he would look half decent. But not when he is standing next to me. I don’t cut any corners and don’t spend my time in fast food joints getting fat like him.”

This was kind of funny. Haye is correct about Chisora generally looking flabby for all of his fights, but seems to do well despite carrying around an extra 20 pounds of fat. He probably doesn’t have the kind of body that can get lean even if he diets. If Chisora were to cut down another 20 pounds to a leaner 225, Chisora would likely be too weak to fight. He’s someone that is more at home while carrying around a little extra lard on his body.

Haye weighed in at a well cut 210 pounds on Thursdays weigh-in, and that does seem kind of light in comparison to the 247 pound Chisora. However, if you look at the fact that Chisora is carrying around a lot of useless fat on his frame, it really comes down to Haye fighting a guy that outweighs him by 10 to 15 pounds in actual muscle. That’s not a significant amount.

Chisora also has a lot of his weight situated in his legs rather than his upper body like Haye. That too isn’t something that is much of any benefit for Chisora. The better fighters tend to have more muscle on their upper bodies and slender legs. Chisora’s legs are heavily muscled and that’s not something will help much in a fight against the lighter, more mobile Haye.

Haye will no doubt use movement to try and hit and move against Chisora. He won’t want to be a stationary target for Chisora, because we saw how Chisora has done well against heavyweights that stand in one spot like Robert Helenius, Vitali Klitschko and Sam Sexton. Chisora has problems if you move around the ring like Tyson Fury did against him last year.
