    Hard to say isn't it. Whose to say that Fury doesn't have an easier time bossing Wilder around the ring and rag dolling him if Wilder is 215lbs?

    Well, in retrospect, coming in heavy didn't work so anything else has a better chance.

    No 214 is the wrong number he needed to be 213.3141592653lbs exactly and he would of won.

    Deontay Wilder school of boxing, forget jabs, forget counter punching, forget defence, forget thinking at all, it's all about what weight you come in at, that's the secret to Wilder school of boxing. If Wilder had infinite chances to weigh in at 213.314592653lbs and he would of beaten Fury and that's a fact. Crazy to think if Wilder had eaten a few twinkies before weighing in the first time he would of KO'ed Fury in round 1.

    Wilder was 212.5 against an awful version of Fury & still couldn't win.

    Saying it again: Wilder's weight is not a problem, the problem is the distribution - those legs are disgraceful. A man of that height can easily be around 105 kilos - still a bit lighter, but not that skinny. The only reason he's successful at that weight is because he fights bags.

    Problem is they never weigh anyone so precisely.
    Would he have won if precisely that weight even if he did not know it?
    I suspect you would say yes. If so, the difficulty is how is he gonna get to this exceedingly specific figure?
    It would be so difficult even IF he could feverishly & continually weigh in on his own, keep eating a tiny amount or spitting or wearing a rubber suit...

    Still the odds of hitting such an exact figure would seem tiny.
