Comments Thread For: Why A Deontay Wilder Move To Cruiserweight Makes Little Sense

[Raggamuffin]

Wilder would wound up like Dawson fighting Ward at 168 instead of 175. Drained... Wilder said that he would do this after he fights the stiff PED UK coward. He asked the fans what they think.

He shouldn't even consider it.

The top guys have already said they're moving up to HW after the tournament. Also, there's no US audience for CWs. It's all in Europe and the money isn't even comparable to HW money. Plus, cutting down to 205, even for someone like Wilder, would be too much at his age.

I disagree.. I'm 6'4" and dropped down from 240 to 193 and still maintained my power.. I believe wilder would be even deadlier at cruiserweight..

Well Deontay You Asked

I think Deontay needs tp stay at heavy weight. He absolutely will knock out AJ but will probably give us some unsure moments while doing it. Any time Deontay fights he shows flaws but he always has the answer, heart and a punch like the kick of an Alabama mule. Joshua could be seriously injured by Wilder, potentially ending his career as a top heavyweight.

How about Deontay concentrate on making the AJ fight first please.

Thanks for the common sense it is rare on here. He probably only wants to fight 40 bums at cruiser and retire before usyk or gassiev get near him anyway.

Wilder weighed 215 for his last fight. That would basically be his fight night weight since there is no need to cut.

There are guys who cut 15 lbs to make 140. Surely wilder could make 200.

I don't think Wilder was being serious in that video, shouldn't take this too far.
