    Wilder came in at 231, Fury 277 or 46 pounds.

    Below is a list of HW championship fights with large weight discrepancies. I'm not
    judging any of the boxers abilities against Fury or Wilder, just listing the weight.

    Fitzsimmons-Jeffries, 167 vs 206 or 39 pounds. The big guy won.
    Dempey-Willard, 187 vs 245 or 58 pounds. The little guy won.
    Carnera-Sharkey, 201 vs 260 or 59 pounds. The little guy won.
    Carnera-Baer, 209 vs 263 or 54 pounds. The little guy won.
    Mathis-Frazier, 204 vs 243 or 39 pounds. The little guy won.
    Douglas vs Holyfield, 208 vs 246 pounds or 38 pounds. The little guy won.
    RJJ vs Ruiz, 193 vs 226 pounds or 33 pounds. The little guy won.
    Valuev vs Ruiz, 238 vs 323 pounds, or 85 pounds. Big guy won.
    Ibragimov-Briggs, 221 vs 273 pounds, or 52 pounds. Little guy won.
    Holyfield vs Valuev, 214 vs 310 pounds or 96 pounds. Big guy won (disputed)

    Against AJ, Usyk weighed 221.
    Against Wilder III, Fury weighed 277.
    Weight discrepancy between Fury and Usyk would be around 56 pounds.

    Sir with all due respect in the Heavyweight division there is no such thing as a weight discrepancy. That's why it is the best division in all of combat sports. You have to have the will and the skill to win.
    No weight draining and all that silly crap that takes place at the sub divisions. Come as you are and fight. I rebuke this thread and everything you wrote above.

    I assume you're being sarcastic. No problem.
    Discrepancy definition is - the state of being at variance. So, simply put, the weights I've shown display the VARIENCE between the weights.
    Nothing more, nothing less.

    You forgot Carnera Vs Tommy Loughran.

    Let's be real though, atleast half the difference between Wilder and Fury was just fat

    Practically every Carnera and Valuev fight had massive weight differences; I used just a couple of each figuring that was enough to make the point.
