Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury: Whether I Come In At 220 Pounds Or 290 For Wilder Fight, It's Really Unimportant

[super-x]

Sugar Hill is no fool. He wouldn't have taken Fury though training camp and put him in a fight without being sure that he was uncompromised. All of these questions will be answered on the 9th. Anyone who thinks Sugar Hill is a fool? Well, they're a fool. Fury by KO, round 5 max.

Yep... its ridiculously funny how fans of the sport become nutrition and strength and conditioning experts. Hes boxed for last 13 years as a pro, i think Fury knows exactly what weight is good for him to execute the game plan for this 3rd fight, 1st fight was box and move so came in light as he could after his massive weight gain during his 3 year binge. Rematch was using that extra weight and size for strength and power, that worked. Only thing i see fury doing IF he comes in heavier is sit on his punches more, and given Wilder is planning on slipping and countering, i think fury will bring back that urky jerky feints from the 2st fight that wasnt so needed in the rematch... get wilder unsteady and hesitating and then pick him off and back him up, see a aggressive.

Fury can weigh 300lb and he'll still have far too much for that bum Wilder.

[Get em up]

If Wilder intends on weighing 230 or 240 pounds he better have added that weight to his legs. I somehow dont think Fury will weigh 290 nor Wilder 230 but its possible they are telling each other the truth.

If Fury comes in at about 290 pounds I think it will make a difference, a bad thing for Fury. He might get knocked out early, but I think the fight will make it to the middle rounds.

Wilder shouldn't come in at more than 225 to 230 pounds, but he obviously wants to counter Fury pushing him back and laying his weight on him.

It's going to be a special fight, in spite of those dissing this fight. This will determine who the best heavyweight in the world is, conclusively hopefully, no dq, no bad cut stopping the fight, no draw.

Tyson hight and weight is his 70% boxing skills

Guessing you failed English & Maths.

Fury my not catch Wilder if Wilder is moving firing from angles. When fury try to hold & lean on him, this is when Wilder plan his body attack to try to break ribs. Fury knows he’s going to lose. That’s why all the extra weigh to keep from getting hurt badly. Hey Fury’s bluffing & psyching mid games hoping that some will stick to keep wWilder away.

I still have to go with fury due to fury’s size advantages and the mauling style he uses when he is facing a smaller fighter but you are right in one area, wilder has to work the body inside especially with the left hook.

Wilder was 212 in the first fight & he did better & dropped him Twice. I think 230-240 is way too heavy. I would have tried for 220. Not sure his stamina & legs can hold up for 12 at that weight… I have to go with Fury again now. I think it will take away his speed & stamina at 230-240…

Look very similar in height

It’s really hard to tell with fury sometimes because he has very bad posture

I think 270 is the sweet spot for him. Any higher, and he might be sluggish.
