Comments Thread For: Wilder: I Weighed 209 Pounds; Gave Up 50-Plus Pounds To Fury

Come on wilder everyone knows fury extra weight is body fat. If he was as shredders you he'd only be 225lbs, only being heavier than you cos of height dufference

Just eat more if ur concerned ur too light.

He started losing weight as his competition increased , this indicates nervous behaviour . He's in mid thirtees and has fought at 230 or near before. In any case he's always finding ways to fool people but the fool is him , no one told him to weigh that. I'm shocked he didn't try putting foam down under the canvas since someone else's team tried it.

Wonder what would be said on here if it was aj reeling off all these excuses

Who the hell gets lighter as they get to their mid 30's? I'm starting to wonder if Wilder has some health issues that need looking into. At this rate he'll make Cruiserweight by the end of 2019, and look like a skeleton.

Is that a serious question?

You can get lighter in your mid 30s, 40s, 50s. Depends on what you eat and how much you exercise.

Perfect weight for an Oleksandr Usyk fight! This way you'll get your ass handed to you in a Bronze Bag!

50lbs of fat, not muscle

[Mindgames]

The Bronze book of excuses lol

Geez. This is a dude haunted with knowing he got a gift. The knockdowns aside, Deontay got well and truly sonned and you could even see it on his face after the fight when they embraced. Sonned!

Wilder is still in denial. We all know he is strong and delivers his shots with great leverage but that means nothing if he isn't landing them. Wilder can't increase his boxing skills by gaining weight so the answer for him is to hone his technique and stop telegraphing his punches. That to me is the absolute improvement he must make if he wants to defeat good boxers.
