What weight should Wilder come in at?Do you believe Furys claim he'll weigh 300 lbs & eat Wilder alive like Boar balls?(seriously)

If I believed that I’d probably put a good sized bet on Wilder. Nobody is going to just walk through Wilder if they are not an absolute massive puncher, Fury is not that.

I would call the last fight a walking through. Fury looked ready to party after that fight. Untouched. How much more of an asskicking could it have been?

He looks relatively slim from what I've seen. He looks less than the 270b he was last fight so is he about to just start a crash bulk up?

[Ray*]

Best he comes in around 225ish, Fury wouldn’t be more than 266ish. Wilder really needs to be calmer in a Fury fight, but he isn’t a calm fighter. He is a bully and when he can’t bully you then he sees the read mist. Which worked against him in both Fury fights.

Wilder didn't seem to carry that extra weight well in the 2nd fight. Unless he's been doing some intense strength training since that last fight, especially his legs, he should stay strong 220.

Strategically, it's important for him to avoid the clinch as much as possible to reduce Fury leaning on him etc.

All due respect. Fury didnt walk right through Wilder in the 2nd fight? He's not a big puncher like you mentioned and we can all agree on that. I dont think its force of the punch, but the lack of chin on Wilder's part. With the exception of very early in the 1st round of fight two, the fight was not even close. Fury is going to dispose of Wilder once and for all and make him irrelevant going forward.

Wilder should be 220-225. Fury should 100% not come in anywhere near 300, that would be silly on his part to carry that much weight. Understanding he has supreme confidence in his abilities, the extra weight in comparison to fight 2 could be a hinderance if the fight happens to go longer then he anticipates. If its not broken, don't fix it!

He didn't start actually walking through him till Wilder's legs looked like spaghetti made of jello. Without legs, Wilder isn't dangerous, nobody is.

My point is that he did end up walking through him because of the damage inflicted to Wilder. The blueprint is set, Wilder cannot make the drastic changes he needs to stay competitive for the duration of the fight. No jab, no footwork, cant make adjustments on the fly to put himself in better positions when plan A of landing a big right hand doesn't work.

wilder needs to come in light and fast, fury the same as last time i would say, wilder should flop to the floor everytime fury leans on him, good tactic for a reset

Truth^^

If Wilder shows up in shape to go 12 rounds on strong legs (which he might not)....it is still Fury's fight to lose. Wilder's only hope is the plan A you mention and it will only work if Fury loses focus, which he might.

Still, i'm looking forward to this fight, no matter.
