    I'd rather see a guy come in at a consistent weight for a big fight

    hes been on a roll since the Joshua loss. I'd prefer he come in at a normal weight for him than try to lose weight for the sake of losing weight

    Yeah, I agree, fight at the weight your comfortable with. But, I can't help but think if the guy could drop some bodyfat and put on a little muscle, it would help his hand speed, power and movement. It's just weird how bad some of these HW's look these days with all the advancements in nutrition, strength & conditioning and recovery. There's just no way they are optimizing their opportunities at big money fights by being in such dreadful condition. I'm not saying you have to look like AJ, but I think we all know what a Heavy looks like when he's in peak condition.

    not calling breazle a world beater but hes done good enough to be top 10

    I'd say the guys who need to lose weight are Ruiz and kownacki

    I understand some guys will never be physically specimens but they shouldn't be fat ****s either

    Nah, Breazeale isn't fat enough to be slowed down by his weight. If Breazeale had quick hands when he's skinny then he would have quick hands now.

    Wilder juicing give the muscle he has put on in a few months.

    Does he get tested?

    Looks bigger in chest plus core. Seems to be same percentage plus his traps far bigger suggesting a juice up.

    He need to after Fury man handled him..

    Both look good to be honest , Wilder put on more weight and filled out a little better meaning his stamina should be better . Breazeale looks more trim therefore his conditioning should be better . I was worried Wilder was coming in career low but he looks in good shape . Still gonna go with Breazeale upset he seems more calm and complete than Wilder who seems quietly erratic , but will we see in 24 hours . I think this is gonna be a good fight and one of Wilder's better fights regardless of outcome .

    Year-round unannounced random testing is in effect, yes, but no specific testing for this fight.

    Brezzeale looked like absolute **** the last time i saw him fight, he is too slow and unathletic, no way Wilder should lose this

    220 pound range is perfect for Deontay. Gives him that extra bit of strength while maintaining his speed. Just hope he don't get stuck in the corner against Brezeale. Would hate to see him pinned up against the turnbuckle by a big mountain of wobbly flab.

    It should do but lets be honest WBC have bent over backwards for Wilder, only 2nd mandatory in the last 4 years and remember Canelo had to be outed by the media to re-enrol for VADA despite being WBC champion.

    I just hope the VADA website hasn't updated but with Joshua, Ruiz Jr already updated on their with their fight after Wilder/Breazeale it seems strange they haven't included Wilder and Breazeale if they have enrolled for VADA.

    Lol Breazeale isn't that overweight, I think it's more loose skin than anything, I suspect he was obese at some point looking at his pecs he must of had moobs at one stage.

    You should avoid the Joshua/Ruiz fight if Breazeale's flab is putting you off. I suspect Ruiz's flab will still be rippling for several minutes after Joshua drops him, he'll be like a giant flesh coloured jiggling jelly on the canvas.

    - No VADA testing for this fight
    - Wilder coming in eleven pounds heavier and still looking lean
    - Wilder's brother caught juicing recently
    - Wilder claiming he knows the doctors providing PEDs to boxers

    Circumstantial evidence is getting too strong to deny really. Couple that with Wilder's comments about literally wanting to kill Breazeale in the ring and if he's found guilty of performance enhancers then he needs to serve jail time. We might see an epic fallout if he loses tonight.

    Don´t know about the testing and I don´t know if it´s 11 lbs of solid weight or just water and fat, but I DO know that if that extra weight is lean muscle he´s juicing.
