It's impressive since it's still pretty rare, esp holding legit titles like Donaire. You see how both Vic and Montiel ran into the wall at 118. No Mex 4 div titlist till recent etc. Guys that depend on size lower usually exposed at their weight etc.

For a guy with a huge weight advantage, there sure aren't any figures to support it. Even if he's draining that hard, its amazing it still hasnt caught up with him once, no issues with stamina, chin, great speed and reflex.

It's possible that he wasn't draining himself to make the lower weights, just natural progression. His build allowed him to make the weight safely, so he did. Nothing wrong with that imho. But, against guys like Sidorenko and Marquez, the size difference was very noticeable. As far as I know, the only time he's given up size was against Mathebula (height/reach) and Montiel (weight).

He seems pretty solid at 122, but I think he'll want to move up soon. He's gonna continue weight-jumping because the higher weights are where the money is. He'll most likely move up next year and fight Dib or Ponce.
