    Would you advise Fury to stay at his current weight based on his performance from the Wilder rematch or do you believe he would be better suited losing 25lbs and coming in at his Klitschko weight in the future? Could he have executed the same gameplan more effectively if he were lighter or would he sacrifice punch resistance and power coming in at 250 to a degree that would be counter-productive?

    To strive for optimization. There is no doubt his performance was impressive but he was carrying a considerable amount of excess weight.

    He should just train his arse off and get fitter and stronger, he doesn't need to watch the scales to do that.

    He's an exceptional athlete despite the unnecessary baggage he's carrying. I feel as though his fight strategy and not his weight, was the most important aspect of his victory.

    Train his hardest, eat well, after that it doesnt matter what he weighs.

    different strokes for different folks...

    it depends what kind of tactics you want to imploy

    if you want to dance with a partner go for the lighter weight

    if you want to KO your partner put on them pounds

    I think a healthy 270 is a perfect weight for him.
