    Joshua is ducking, enough said...Fury still recovering, other than those 2 nobody is "somebody"
    Usyk might be more open to a historic fight, Wilder is heading in that direction also

    Yeah, but Fury needs another tune-up or two.

    Fury is too big, too slick & too slick, Fury return is truly the #1 threat to Deontay Wilder.

    Hearn is doing a brilliant job protecting Joshua, first getting rid of Luis Ortiz and now he will force Fury to face Wilder first

    Very likely, but that can change if Hearn manages to get guarantees that he will become involved in Wilder career in the future.

    You don't think he'll tax his body trying to get down to 200?

    If you ever made weight as a Cruiser, you will know that going down from 220~215 to 200 is not the problem.

    Many top natural Cruisers actually walk around +230, if anything Wilder is a small Cruiser. He doesn't have to cut weight, those 15 lbs are pissed out easily, Wilder has to over eat just to stay at 220

    Cutting down at big weights is not the same as smaller weights

    220~215 to 200
    is equal to
    134~131 to 122

    Which is normal fight weight

    At 200 lbs Wilder would look like a patient in an anorexia clinic.

    At the weigh in he will look slightly dehydrated (nothing dramatic), at fight time he will look exactly as he does now, walking at 220, 215

    6'7" @200 = 5'8" @160 (on the linear scale)

    in the adjusted scale, where the average 105 lbs is 5'1"
    6'7"@200 = 6'1" @160

    So don't exaggerate...especially that you know of very Lanky Tall small weight guys, Hearns, Breland, Paulie Williams at 147, Maurice Blocker at 140 who were much skinnier than Wilder at any applied ratio.

    Deontay Wilder frame, is the same as Sugar Ray Robinson or Felix Trinidad at Welterweight...and you know what happened to the victims who stepped in the ring vs those guys at Welterweight

    Wilder is 6'6" and walks around at around 230-240 lbs and is pretty lean even at this weight. Wilder trains down to 214-220 and has almost no fat on him. He'd never be able to safely cut below 210 lbs let alone 200 lbs.
