    I don't think being about 10 pounds lighter than in some previous fights will have any negative effect on either his punching power or his ability to take hard punches. It just means he trained very hard and should be sharp and quick with good stamina and a good work rate. You can either take a punch or you can't and just weighing more doesn't help you take a punch better. Being weight drained and dehydrated can hurt a boxer's ability to take hard punches but Wilder can eat and drink as much as he wants and weigh whatever he wants to weigh.

        At his age fighters tend to start filling out, he seems to be thinning out. I wonder if there is some underlying reason? I guess with the pre fight physical it would be picked up. Kind of strange though

          He is all upper body his legs are so skinny man if he had normal size legs his weight would be like 230

          He could really drop down to cruiserweight and should actually be in that division he cuts no weight and 12 pounds of water is nothing just hit the sauna the day before the fight and he can make 200 easy

          I think the reason he is so light is because he stopped lifting weights he popped his bicep in a fight and his bones are so thin that packing all that muscle makes it more likely to tear, especially when they are swollen and tight

          Didnt he bulk up to 225 pounds before his bicep tore?
