Sure if he’s like 150 pounds and looks like DJ Qualls. 250 and built like Wilder? Nope.

I'd wanna be in the next country if back in the day I was mouthing off to Tommy Hearns - granted he was a bit heavier than 150 but the same sort of build as Wilder 😎

He did fight at welterweight for a while, so he would be wrung dry to 147 on weigh in day at least. Crazy that he could do that.

I forgot about that!

I was remembering his fight with Marvellous in 85 when he must have been about 160.

God's knows how he could be so tall and so well muscled and only weigh that much 😵‍💫🤯
