    Fury’s ideal weight

    What do you believe to be Fury’s ideal weight for the Wilder fight? His dad, John, wanted him to come in heavier than the first fight.

    What heavier weight do you think he will come in at? Do you think he will be fat?

    Please explain why or why not this is a good idea and how it will affect his strategy?

    He was 269 on the day of the Fox conference, over a month out.

    I think anywhere from 255 to 260 is an in-shape Fury at this point. Able to go 12 rounds dancing or take the fight inside and outsize Wilder.

      Between 260 and 265 lb. Less bodyfat and a lot more lean muscle, that is what I am expecting. If this is the case, expect to see more in-fighting and Fury looking to use his strength and weight to his advantage. Really don't think we're gonna see him moving as much.

        ... there isn't such a thing like "Fury’s ideal weight"...

        ... but for Wilder I think he has to come "heavy"...

          265 lbs is too heavy for Fury curently..... he's stayed in-shape and walks around at 270 now....... he needs to shed 10-15 lbs of that for a fight.

              He always looks fat to me and carries extra fat around his waist. To be really lean and hard he would need to weigh about 230-235. Maybe he fights better with more weight. I don't know. I don't think being 260 or 270 for Wilder will help him. More likely it will slow him down.
