Deontay Wilder on size and weight

https://streamable.com/x1ksm

Wilder discusses multiple topics often debated and discussed in the classic forum. Including:
- PEDs and substances
- nutrition
- Size
- Weights for heavyweights, and size of past heavyweights

Enjoy!

 

Wilder is a bit of a throwback in some ways.

A sort of latter day Fred Fulton.

 

Wilder is only going to get better once he gets back down to 201 pounds. Imagine this guy at 190 !like Ali's Olympic days? Only IF he could make that weight..IF.

Pepsi has carbs and sugars to replenish all the nutrients lost.Way better than protein shakes, guy is a throw back and knows his stuff for sure.

 

Enough....I feel like throwing up. Stop it hurts.

 

Promising thread, so far.

 

Does he discuss how past heavyweights actually fought opponents with pulses?

 

Wilder weighed in for Ortiz at 214lb.

 

218 pounds for a 6'7 guy is a noodle

 

According to BMI, 214lb and 201cm is on the upper! end of the normal range (BMI: 24) Heavyweight boxers just tend to have higher BMIs in general.

 

214!

And Louis weighed less when he lifted Carnera off the ring with ease.

Strength, power, mechanics >

 

If only today's fighters knew what is known on here!

 

You mean he is just a blown up cruiserweight?

 

There is a huge difference between weighing 197 pounds at 6'2 than weighing 214 at 6'7.also louis had more robust bones,wilder is very skinny

 

There’s no such thing as a “robust” bone short of pituitary tumors and guys who slam growth hormone.

 

Wilder can't afford to be heavy; he's got 18" legs. If he's clean, he's an Ernie Terell type with a punch, but not with Terell's durability.
