    Wilder at 214 is the same as Ali was when he fought Cooper the second time and it`s lighter than Tyson`s prime weights 215-220 so what does that do to the theory that Deontay would be too big for smaller heavies from the past? Those legs must be even thinner now no way at this weight could he take a prime Tyson`s power, by the way looks like AJ has the same idea because he has lost 14 pounds since his last fight for Parker.

    214 is pretty damn insane. Honestly wonder if he tried, if he could make cruiser.

    **** he only weighs like 16 pounds more than me, and I'm
    an in shape 5'10. That's freaking small I don't care how
    tall he is. Clearly his focus is going to be on movement and
    potshotting from the outside.

    I hear through the grapevine that Wilder has been training very hard (despite the usual mouthing-off), so don't worry about that. Ortiz, too, has been training seriously, so it should be an exciting fight.

    Although, having said that, place your bets on Wilder by boring UD :lol:

    No doubt he could, although he'd be even more of a matchstick than he already is.

    Regardless of how the fight goes vs King Kong, Deontay Wilder needs to wait for Cruisers to unify all belts, easily make the Cruiser limit, reverse engineer his way to ATG Heaven, Undisputed at Cruiser is a big plus

    I bet you've got posters of him all around your house (especially your "private room"). Well you'll need to take them all down on Saturday after granpa Ortiz sparks him out.

    An average fight night weight is 9% than the actual weight, so the average Cruiser fight weight is closer to 218, Many Cruisers hydrate above 220 lbs

    The Bambi legs are now pipe cleaners. He can't pot shot Ortiz all night. Granpa will tag him and when he does those legs will fold quickly.

    Too light for my liking. Obviously planning on moving a lot.

    Did he really weigh in that light? I thought he was working on putting on some bulk. That's light even for him....
