Wilder: I’m Thinking of Moving Down, Taking Over at Cruiserweight

Deontay Wilder weighed in at a mere 214¾ pounds for his last fight, his lowest weight since he came in at 207½ for his pro debut.

That apparently has made the 6-feet-7 heavyweight champion consider eventually moving down to compete within the cruiserweight division. The unbeaten WBC champ surprisingly discussed that weight switch in a video posted to his Instagram account Wednesday night.
“What’s up, boxing world?,” Wilder said. “You know, I’ve just been sitting in my car, thinking. I’ve been thinking about once I unify the heavyweight division, moving down to the cruiserweight division, taking over that division. I mean, there’s never been a heavyweight champion ever go down in weight. I mean, just for the fun of it, just take over the cruiserweight division while maintaining the heavyweight [championship]. Yeah. What do you guys think?”

Not something most fighters do - him in that CW tourney would have been interesting!

.....Bob Fitzsimmons. Did Wilder get infected with fabrication and delusion when he visited the Liar in Chief?

He'll get KO'd. There are at least 3 CWs I'd take to beat him at either CW or HW.

Usyk, Murat & Breidis?

You think those 3 can move to HW easier than Bellew? Tony once said guys like Wilder & AJ were just too big for him.

I have a hard time seeing that, Wilder is really broad up top, though he definitely has CW leg mass.

Usyk, Breidis, and Gassiev. Breidis has already KO'd WBA heavyweight champion Manuel Charr in four rounds.

Yeah it will be interesting to see if all 3 of those move to HW - I read Bellew wants the winner of the CW tourney between Usyk & Gassiev.

lol, probably. He's talking some high profile bouts, luring Andre Ward out of retirement, Tyson Fury & even maybe a rematch with Adonis too.
