After Wilder weighed in at 214 to fight Ortiz he said he'd consider going down to Cruiserweight. Then he weighed in at 212 for the first Fury fight. He weighed 231, his heaviest ever, for the Fury rematch. He said he was light because he was sick, but I think that those were his natural weights, and he forced himself to bulk up because he didn't want to have such a big weight disadvantage all the time.
Is it too late for him to cut down to 200 for the weigh in and then rehydrate?
Roy Jones tried that at the same age, going from Heavyweight all the way back down to Light Heavyweight in the same calendar year, and it turned out horrible for him. But Wilder might still be able to dominate at Cruiserweight now that Usyk has moved up.
