Could Wilder have cut to cruiserweight and if so how does he do?

….so when he was 210-220lbs he could make Cruiser by losing some water weight but not fat he basically had none, that’s it, that’s the answer.

 

Not successfully. Yeah he could make that weight in theory but it’s hard to imagine him being healthy.

 

Probably could have lost the water weight but that would have put him in the same division as Usyk and Briedis. I mean, they had him fighting guys like Molina and Szpilka for a reason, so...

 

First, I doubt he'd be feeling too good even if he could make the weight. For sure it would have impacted his performance. Secondly, he'd have been facing a few seriously badass dudes down there unless he tried to line up a succession of stiffs like at heavy. Usyk would murder him jesus christ.

 

Yeah if anything HW was better, it was full of guys he could hit… Wilder needed a big target lol.

 

Only? No. Ortiz was good. But outside that I'm finding it hard to identify any impressive wins.

 

Yeah ... Fury right off the fat farm in a fight where Wilder basically won 3 rounds at most.

 

I agree. He'd do very well at Cruiser. Who do you think gets him there? Usyk for sure. But how do you think he fairs against the likes of Gasiev, Breides, Huck, etc?
