Comments Thread For: Fury: I Wasn't Trying To Lose Weight, The Weight is Not Important

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Tyson Fury weighed in 42 pounds heavier than world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder for their blockbuster rematch, which is taking place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Wilder will put his WBC belt on the line against challenger Fury in the second instalment of their rivalry on Saturday after the pair fought out a contentious draw in December 2018 at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

I think it’s crazy that HW has no limit. If Wilder wins this, which I think he does, that will be a very big win to overcome 42lbs vs a top HW.

Sam Peters, the Nigerian Nightmare easily comes to mind and he was punished for weighing how many stones.... The only difference is that Fury is more skilled with good ring IQ

If you took all the fat off of Fury, he'd likely weigh something similar to Wilder. The thing is, if we spit divisions we'd still need catchweigjts or men to move up and down to get the best fights. I don't think it's any advantage to be anywhere over 245,after all wasnt Fury something like that for hes biggest win vs Wlad?

Wilder fought to a draw in the 1st fight and there was a 44 lb weight difference. Wilder weighed 212.5 and Fury weighed 256.5 in the 1st fight.

I think the weight thing is being over analyzed.

Thank God the day is finally here

After going back and forth with my final pick I've decided to just say f-uck it and not pick a winner. Im just gonna enjoy the fight & pray that it's not another episode of "boxing embarrassing itself" with all the millions of people watching.

Can't help but feel like there won't be some kind of f-uckery to help sell the 3rd fight. Hope I'm wrong

Heavyweight is supposed to be the open class, where anybody of any weight can compete if they think they can. That was the point of it.

Anyway, bring back 15 rounders and I guarantee you the weights of a bunch of these guys would come way down.
