I don't care for the division. It's more so about seeing Wilder in a more comfortable weight and seeing how he performs. Regardless of whether or not we like the division, seeing him possibly holding up a belt means something. It'll give him some momentum.

A belt.in a fake division doesn't mean anything bro

He just needs a momentum boost.

wilder has fought at 213-214 pounds fully hydrated for the last 2 years. He in no case shape or form is an argument for the need of a "bridgerweight" when he can EASILY make cruiserweight.



do you realize Anthony Joshua who was 237 pounds against Ruiz and 240 pounds for Usyk, a supposed "big" heavyweight, could actually easily make the 224 pound bridgerweight limit? so then what is the point of having it to protect the small guys when the big guys can just dehydrate down to it?

Well I'm specifically pointing towards Wilder, just look at his last fight vs Zhang. Wilder weighted 214 and Zhang at 280, that right there is totally unfair for Wilder. That's an almost 70 lbs weight advantage for Zhang. A big guy like Zhang could never make Cruiser.

If he has anything left, Wilder can make some noise at Jr. Heavyweight.
