    I thing 6'9" is skinny. But I'll guessing that it would be a weight cut to get to 200 and would probably enter the ring at 220+, which isn't as bad.

    Wilder will return as a wrecking machine....As long as he does not have to fight off the back

    No. A 6'3, 215 lbs Tyson would not make much of a splash at HW, or CW for that matter. H e wouldn't be a patch on Usyk. But those six inches and 60 lbs does make a difference. A huge one.

    There are weight classes. not height classes. Would you take 6'5.5" Fundora over all those guys because he is taller than them?

    Usyk, Gassiev, Briedis, Dorticos beat him and a bunch of others would be live dogs.

    Well Cunningham, an older blown up Cruiser floored Fury was was even on the cards until getting stopped. So there's a chance.

    I doubt they get past Ortiz, let alone Wilder. Fury is on another planet to these guys, in both size and ability.

    Gassiev or Breidis vs Wilder would look similar to Wilders fight with Evgeny Romanov in the amateurs ;)

    Gassiev and Dorticos aren't really any smaller than Ortiz. They aren't anywhere near as old either.

    They’re similar height but Ortiz is much thicker and more skilled than either.

    Ortiz more skilled than Dorticos? Lol.

    Ortiz would get broken by Gassiev or Dorticos.
