    He was 231lbs for the second fight, but was 212lbs for the first fight where he did much better and was faster

    Nobody wants to see a third fight , Fury needs to fight AJ .

    Fury has his number. He should let this go now. Ward was 100% correct.

    Are we talking fighting weight or ring walk weight?

    In his pea brain he probably thinks he'd do better if he came in even heavier, so 240 maybe?

    Not more than 220 .

    Wilder was too stiff, too heavy, looked too flat footed with all the extra weight.

    He's going to walk to the ring naked. When he hits the ring, his stamina and leg strength will be off the charts.

    His Natural weight, he will not waste time on peasant weight training...

    199, 203, 209, 212 anything in that range, extra weight doesn't increase punching power & only lowers stamina.

    Punch Resistance is useless in this case, as Fury is not a one punch KO artist, accumulation of punches do more damage vs low stamina boxers, so the weight disparity will be big, making a Deontay Wilder win more legendary.

    Yeah the weight didn't look well distributed. The legs were as skinny as ever and completely shot once he ate a couple of decent shots.

    Watching the first few rounds again I really can't understand what happened in there. His foot movement is obv always clumsy but he looked punch drunk for 4 and a half rounds. I can't recall ever seeing someone so wobbly on their legs.

    Wilder needs to earn the fans trust back before he gets in the ring with Fury again. I wanna see him fight Dustin Nichols again, and get a confidence building fight, then go after fury.
