Ali, Terrell, Liston, & Foreman primes at 215 +/- Lbs

Foreman was 225 at his peak vs norton. ali 210-212
and liston 209.
Wilder has skinny fragile frame

 

He has been up at that weight range hasn't he, did he actually perform any better heavier?

 

Well in 1958 for example he weighed 212 pounds twice but he weighed 204 and 205 3 times in the same year. It is the problem

 

What problem, he went on to dominate the division.....

 

Well at least we no longer have to listen to people telling us 214 pound heavyweights can't compete in the modern settings based on weight alone. We may suddenly hear they can't compete athletically or need to be a certain height and over however.

 

Wilder at the weight he is now seems to be his best . His mobility and speed
is sharper and his conditioning improved. And his recuperative powers
seem to be better and so does his psyche.

 

I don't really know what Wilder would gain by putting another stone on.
Although he's all over the place, at least he's all over the place with speed.

 

I think he could and should carry another 10/12 pounds,particularly against A J.

 

I think that a focused and in shaoe tyson fury beats aj and wilder by wide.ud.he is simply de better boxer

 

Just because a boxer weighs a certain weight when he wins the title doesn't equate that weight to being his prime weight. Foreman weighed as low as 212 because fighters back then tried to be in great shape. Foreman was listed at 230 pounds a teenager. Foreman should of always weighed that amount. Wilder weighed as much as 228 I believe. But will lose weight to get lower some times.

 

Wilder usually does fight at that weight he cut weight for this because he was on a VADA steroid test program according to a youtube channel called precise puncher!
