40lbs didn’t cost him against Ortiz.

Ortiz weighs about 240 and Fury is well over 260 plus hecan use the weight better as hes mutch taller than Ortiz.Hes also mutch faster on his feet than Ortiz. Ortiz is a fine boxer/puncher but slow on his feet and that sucks especially when you face a guy thats mutch taller than you. Fury on the other hand is fast on his feet, fast with his hands and has a huge weight-advantage, i cant wait to see how the fight turns out!

Wilder is skinny but strong. He's had no problem beating heavier guys his whole career. The reason why he comes in so light is because of his twig legs. His upper body is very filled out.

Yeah, but lets face it, hes looked shaky against much worse men than Fury. Hes built like Hearns, another great puncher, but who was very vulnerable. He weighed in at only 213 when Sconiers dropped him. Hes talking about dropping to cruiserweight himself. Thin legs like that dont bode well for him with equally tall, real super heavyweights.

Wilder seems to be coming in light. I'm guessing speed And stamina is why. Fury looks soft. Not that that has mattered before. Tyson has proven you don't have the body beautiful to win fights.

I'm leaning towards a Wilder Ko inside of 8, buy Fury has upset you he odds before. I've never thought much of Fury, but he has kept proving me wrong. He's game and dangerous no matter his time off. Should be an interesting fight while it lasts. I do t see it going to the cards.

I know what you're saying, but hearns moved all the way to cruiser with success. Wilders legs will not be an issue. Whether Fury can take his punching power will.

War the gimp looking guy!

Wilder looks fit and strong. Guess he's in his KO mood already. Fury's only chance is to avoid the mythical right hand in 12. But what if he takes Wilder's shots doesn't go down. What will Wilder do?

Is Wilder ever gonna put on some muscle? Dude is tiny for a heavyweight. Yeah yeah I know he’s y’all I’m just saying before y’all get outta hand

... I'll never understand why Wilder doesn't want to build some muscle on those legs of his...

Likely becaue is boxing, not bodybuilding.

Deontay looking lean and mean. 212 lbs of streaming steel.

Well i dont doubt Wilder can take out anyone he hits properly. But I think alot of people underestimate Furys ability to hurt him, because of this, non puncher tag. 18stone hitting 15 stone still has to be respected. Cunningham was known to be durable but was around that weight. Dave Allen says Fury hits alot harder than credited, just he rarely loads up. Cant wait to see how this turns out tbh.
