Just saw this and he looks really quite lean from what I can tell? I know he had his stomach covered in that IG pic somebody posted before but he does not look 270lbs to me?

You misunderstand me.
I mean, it's hard to "outbox" him because his reach and athleticism will keep bombs landing on opponents.
He might lose some rounds but he'll just windmill hammer somone's head and call it a night.
Well funnily enough that's how I knew Fury would trouble him so badly the first time. Like Wlad, Wilders whole game is predicated on having the significant range and reach advantage, Furys size and movement cancel this out.
He's been behind against low level op, and outboxed for long periods on several occasions. Wilder doesn't box by hes own admission, he looks for one punch.

Does he clearly look older with crows feet or not? How many comparison pics have the same lighting? :rofl:
A person with pale skin will look completely different under harsh lighting than under dimmer lighting.Everyone knows this. Some pics don't show crows feet on even deeply wrinkled people. Your having a silly half hour again..
Spot on with this one.
I don't think anyone can really "outbox" Wilder either. His reach is insane and his athleticism will keep him on opponent's that try to stick and move.

It's a great comparison. He looks drained, old and wrinkly now.
Is the lighting completely different or not? Has one pic got him covered in facial hair and the other pic got him completely clean shaven or not? Do you understand what comparison means?
He looks 10 year older in the face than his last fight. He's got crows feet FFS. :lol1:

Different lighting, alot of facial hair, not a great before and after comparison really is it..?
Fury will wield the most power at about 270 lbs.
He will have the most speed and stamina at 250 lbs.
If he weighs around 270, we know his strategy will be to come forward with aggression in the early rounds. But doing so puts him at risk of getting caught early by a Wilder right hand. Also, if he doesn't finish Wilder in the first half of the fight, he's going to get tired in the second half. And getting tired against Wilder is a big mistake.
If he weighs around 250, we know his strategy will be to box, move, and win a decision over 12 rounds. But Wilder has already studied Fury's boxing movements from the first fight, so he's going to be more predictable. Wilder will probably pierce through the holes in his defense even earlier this time.
Either way, Fury is in serious trouble on February 22.

Lmao I was thinking the same thing, shes a dope chick tho I've talked to her alot on social media . She actually more about boxing than I thought I figured she was just a pretty face haha
That aside I think fury looks just fine , he looks simular to the wlad fight just not quite as lean . He looks way better than the first wilder fight .

Its why I admire Floyd Mayweather so much.Guy was always in shape and sacrificed so much for the sport he loves.Hence as you maybe aware use to train at 3am and employ someone in a local gym to keep it open.Reason being he wanted to do things other people didnt and and get that edge.
I couldn’t agree more. All the men in my family went and saw Floyd fight in Vegas. Sum always hoped Floyd would lose, sum knew he wasent going to. But he was the guy to see regardless. I saw him turn pro, I knew he was special. Like u said he was always in shape, would go running in boots in the middle of the night. Haters can say he woulda lost to so and so, but I ask those same people if they ever bet against him before? I mean a lot of people thought Manny would beat him up...
I’ll just have to see the weigh in to see if I find issues with either guy. I like that Wilders team doesn’t stress about weight.Its why I admire Floyd Mayweather so much.Guy was always in shape and sacrificed so much for the sport he loves.Hence as you maybe aware use to train at 3am and employ someone in a local gym to keep it open.Reason being he wanted to do things other people didnt and and get that edge.
Fully agree with everything you said. Us boxing fans can't trust the stats that these fighters are listed at because the stats always vary from fight to fight. They never seemed to know how tall Evander Holyfield was...Sometimes he was listed at 6' 1" and sometimes he was 6' 2.5". There's been countless other fighters that have their physical stats vary also. They should standardize their measurements so that they're all being measured without shoes and their reach should be measured so that there is no discrepancy or only very minor discrepancy from fight to fight.
So appreciative to hear that I’m not the only fan who finds it strange that we can’t get accurate/live measurements on multi million dollar fights. I’ve heard commentators claim Tyson’s actual height is all over the place. Sum say the books exaggerate his height. I heard merchant say he saw Tyson measure 5’11.5” with his own eyes.
With so much money being bet on these fights why can’t we demand legit live measurements of height and reach each fight? We should as fans put the pressure on these guys to even get dunk tanked to see what bodyfat% they are at. Everyone says they are in the best shape of their life and if they show up heavy they say it’s all muscle. Prove it. We can’t even get most stars to step on the scale on fight night. What do they have to hide? Everything I guess. So much talk about one fighter being “too big” for another fighter etc. Get on the scales each fight night and let everyone see. These debates over weight stall fights and it’s all hearsay. How can we let someone weigh in with a jersey and a sombrero? Can Manny carry a cinder block and fight at HW? When was the last time anyone was even told how big a ring was going to be? Most of the players in the nfl draft end up being shorter than listed. I know I’m ranting, but I just don’t understand how we don’t get more. AJ and Ruiz weights both being way down was all fake news. Everyone talked about it like it was truth. If Fury shows up heavy it’s not by choice, I’m sure of that. That’s the oldest boxing joke in the book.
Exactly. U can’t trust pictures in a modern digital world. It’s too bad “The Tale of the Tape” isn’t still around, though I doubt it was ever legitimate, Id need to see it with my own eyes. With so much betting money at stake ud think we’d get to see fighters reach and height measured on camera. I mean how many varying heights have u heard commentators claim Mike Tyson was? They let Andy Ruiz wear a jersey and a Sombrero to his last weigh in to hide his weight. What a joke. Fighters listed heights often don’t seem to mesh when u see them stand face to face to their opponents. Canelo listed at 5’9” in his last fight?! Top fighters not willing to get on the scale on fight night, despite constantly talking about “too small” or “too big”. I think any fighter saying they are coming in “Heavy” on purpose is just stating an old boxing joke. Nobody ever takes a body fat test to prove it. We deserve more, these guys should be poked and prodded.

Who’s the girl ?
Is she that girl Fury gives interviews to
He's always in bed or laying down when he gives her an interview
Michelle Joy Phelps. Her YT boxing channel's called Behind the Gloves.
Valid point but I still feel Fury has turned a corner.
Its like in the Ruiz/Joshua rematch Steve Bunce the ex fighter and turned BBC boxing pundit claimed in pre fight camps that he had seen Ruiz up close and he was in better condition than the first fight. Admittedly must of seen him with a top on.
Hence I got taken in by this as well and trusted Bunces view which was clearly wrong. Admittedly he apologised in a later podcast saying he got it wrong .Like you said you cant trust no one
Right. It’s also hard to know what cardio vascular condition a guy is in regardless of their appearance. I’ve been peeled and prolly couldn’t run around the block twice. But we can kind of measure people against their own precedent. If a guy shows up heavier and also says he’s in the best condition of his life that’s a bit weird. We have to assume they’ve been burning the most calories ever to get into that cardio shape, but then would have to be eating sooo much surplus calories to still come in heavy. That would take a drastic change in diet during camp if it was on purpose, assuming someone came into camp at the same weight they usually do. People also said AJ looks sick, must be off the PEDS, posted pics. He was only 10lbs lighter, and that’s barely anything for a man his size. There’s so much ability to enhance/filter/color a photo now in the digital world. Everyone looks like Mr. Olympia on their Instagram and then on stage standing next to others under the same conditions they get blown away. I’ll just have to see the weigh in to see if I find issues with either guy. I like that Wilders team doesn’t stress about weight.
