    I agree that dramatic and rapid reductions in body weight can and do have negative effects on performance for sure and it is in a fighters best interest to acclimatize to a given weight on a performance basis however i am simply not aware of any data that suggests that rapid and or large reductions of bodyweight lead to increased injury risk specifically to the knee joint's or ACL.

    Perhaps I should have been a bit clearer in what I meant, but yeah, less weight is never going to put more stress on a knee joint. That's a physical impossibility. The injury risk as I see it comes from awkward and unnatural movements while a fighter is adjusting to his new weight, and might not have understood his current athletic limitations.

    Fury employs an extremely mobile style, but he's also kinda clumsy, and he won't be able to dart around like he used to just by getting down to something approaching his old weight. That'd be asking for trouble.

    Boring or not, he has millions of fans, so the problem isn't in the fans, but in talking against jews, homosexuals, pedophiles and other politic talking (like free Palsetine).

    If he can manage to Just keep his backward thinking views to himself, he'll be alright...

    If he had millions of fans, why does he have problems filling venues of 10k, 12k seats? Why are his TV ratings horrible?

    I don't know how many fans he had before Klitshko, and i don't care.Look at his instagram and Twitter.

    He's definitely built on his profile since his doping ban, but for all the wrong reasons unfortunately. Also a social media following isn't the same as bums on seats and even then his social media following isn't exactly huge, Wilder has more Instagram followers and nobody thinks he is a big draw.
