Should Fury further increase his weight to be unbeatable? Or is he already at 273 lbs?

    In Wilder II Furys weight was 273 lbs producing great damage and injuries to his opponent. In your opinion could Fury be unstoppable for any HW if his weight rose further? Or does he not need to increase his weight?

    Think he was actually 273 pounds for Wilder 2. And he looked good at that weight.

    He was a good bit heavier than that. He can carry 275 healthily, and still nimble

    He looked strong & fit so why get any heavier ?

    If he continues on with the Kronk style, I see no reason to tamper with the weight.

    It's a shame he didn't employ this aggressiveness earlier in his career, but better late then never.

    If he continues on with this style he should be one of the most successful Brits in crossover star appeal to new fans in US

    Of course a lackluster performance against AJ, or a return to the type of style he used against Vlad could take all that away

    It was technique that provided the elevated level of power in that fight, not the weight. His weight it just fine where it is, as he is both sturdy and nimble.

    He knows where he's most effective, this isn't his first rodeo.

    I think he was a bit fat, could lose some. He got Wilder out of there just after the midway point, but we don't know if he would have suffered a bit down the stretch, despite his good engine.
    He comes from a family of fat people, as he states, and fat people always tell you you look skinny and should put some fat on.
    I think he was a bit weaker in the first fight just because they lost too much muscle mass dropping the weight, but he still hurt Wilder, his power wasn't too much different even there.

    He was 254 for Cunningham and still a little fleshy, so I don't see why he should be much bigger than that, ideally. He badly hurt Cunningham in that fight with his new Kronk style
