      If Wilder was 220+ like he was pre-injury and he hit Fury, he's not waking up.
      He’s not a big man relatively speaking at that weight. He’s essentially a human cricket.

      He can weight 230 if he likes. Is that gonna make it easier to hit Fury with a right hand. Probably not.

      Additionally it’s not like Fury tried to muscle Deontay and put weight on him. His whole plan was similar to the Wlad one in which you basically can’t hit him with a right hand if he gets on his bike.

        True. Him and Oliver McCall had godlike chins. Its very unusual to fight at the highest level as a HW and never be dropped.

          Whats sad is hes the best heavy in the US, and a fat recovering drug addict and mental health patient boxed hes ears off.Not to mention an old man with high blood pressure had him seeing a doctor.

            So Wilder isn't a power puncher now?

                He hits harder at 220+ and can take a punch much better, I think thats obvious.

                  Increased weight=More power, more durability, better conditioning. Those 10+ pounds he lost was also a sign of him changing his training regimen which was likely due to his torn bicep.

                    Fury's weight of 256 was one of the better weights of his career so thats BS, Wilder on the other hand was forced to train entirely different due to a torn bicep years ago and was a paltry 212lbs which is the size of a cruiser on fight night vs Ortiz and Fury.

                    Fury nearly got KOd by a cruiser and he was loaded with PEDs

                      He was 220+ against Washington, Arreola, szpilka, Molina Duhaupas etc. He was under 220 against Ortiz and Fury (his too biggest fights). I sincerely doubt the difference in punching power is as noticeable as ur trying to suggest
