    I was expecting Fury to come in about 240-245, he is only 2lbs lighter than the Pianetta fight

    This. That extra weight is going to hurt his stamina in the later rounds.

    that extra weight is going to lean on wilders skinny frame and wear wilder down. Fury doesn't gass and the last cruiserweight/heavy fury fought ended in a brutal KO (Cunningham). Do not look into Furys weight at all, he will not gass out

    He's lost fat and put on muscle. He looks better than the Pianeta fight.

    It's easy to lose weight when you're severely obese, fat fighters members brag about it all the time. It takes real commitment to get into the condition of an athelete. A different level of dedication to training and eating.

    Fury looks in ok shape for Joe Bloggs, he is still in terrible conditioning for a professional with the resources at his disposal. To only lose 2 pounds is embarrassing.

    When has Fury ever come into a fight weighing 240?

    The only way Wilder can win is to chuck Bombs from the off & catch Fury cold.Some how I don't see this happening.

    look at furys weigh in photos vs pianeta then against wilder. he is in far better shape. he has turned a lot of fat into muscle. he might only be 2 pounds lighter but he is in far better shape and that's obvious to tell

    He's always been around that weight though no? He's just a pound heavier than against Wlad. Likely carrying a higher fat percentage but the difference in physique isn't too discernible going by the pics I've seen. Better to use his weight advantage to his full extent against a relatively small guy so long as the weight isn't hampering speed.

    Your correct of course but a lot of heavyweights these days are in terrible shape. It won’t make any difference for Fury’s style.

    No. I don't think so. It was a smart decision not to continue losing weight after the Pianeta fight. Fury is in very good shape considering he always looked a bit flabby and just lost 140 pounds so you can't compare his skin and his body composition in general with him fighting Wlad three years ago. It's very good holding weight for ~ 4 months, he looks confident and feeling comfortably, that is more important than looking shredded and athletic. I would even say the opposite: Wilder coming that light was a mistake. Wilder should have bulked up a few pounds to increase his power as he can't box with Fury anyway.

    Fury was 245 vs Wlad
    256 vs Wilder
    I think Fury will be weight wise
    Its the timing that I think will be his undoing

    Never. But, Fury is a lot more mobile and performs better at 245-250. He starts getting easier to hit once he goes over 250 and his punch output is noticeably lower.
