    More likely he knows it is over and is giving up.

    Greatest thing of his career so far!

    Weight is the key!

    He will gain, punching power and punch resistance by his weight gains.

    That interviewer needs a slap on the Johnson. He blabbed way too much. And he should be shot for comparing Wilder to Ali.

    He doesn't look like he is 240 pounds heavy.

    He needs to put some weight on his legs they still look like ****tail sticks, he will turn into dust if Povetkin catches him clean.

    Deontay will be the most dangerous heavyweight in history at that weight. I hope Povetkin has some medics in his corner! That boy getting a beating!

    Might not be a bad move seeing as he trying to emulate Wladimir, 228 pound wilder would get tossed around the ring by povetkin in the clinches. One of the keys to beating povetkin is for the bigger man to tire him out, twiggy wouldn't be able to do that.

    However if he still has twigs for legs and has only gained upper body weight that won't help him much. Also if this was the plan all along he should have bulked up sooner so he could get accustomed to his new weight against the likes of Duhaupas and Molina.

    He's not 240 though, he says he's 235 at the moment which to be honest isn't that much of a weight gain. But the Fight is still almost a month away though, and Al Haymon fighters are no strangers to using any means possible to gain an advantage.
