    I'm not into the whole thing of Crusierweights bulking up when they move up, that just takes away or diminishes their only advantages which is speed and mobility
    215-220lbs no more than 225lbs

    210 or so. Whatever weight he is the fastest. Demon Speed. Speed is what he needs. Greasy fast speed.
    He's not going to need heavy-duty, cast-iron, piledriving punches that will have to hurt so much they'll rattle his ancestors.

    It's interesting to think, if Usyk does come in at 230 the weight difference between him and Joshua might be negligible.

    A lot of people are saying it's a mistake for Usyk to come in heavy but on the flip side I think Joshua is making a mistake If he comes in light.

    Clay/Ali's peak weight was no more than 215. I don't see the point of guys who rely on speed coming in too heavy and losing their big advantage.

    He is 104.9kg/231 pounds right now, so i think he will be somewhere around that weight.

    The most comfortable weight for him to be able to utilize his speed and mobility. Probably 220

    220 would be the maximum. Above 220 he's losing his advantages of mobility and speed.
