Was Hearns wrong to move up?

[Irony123]

34-year-old coward refused every decent fight. This is a coward hiding behind racist scum.

oh **** just realized you are a canelo fan... it makes sense now... Ginger is scared so you are fighting his battles for him on the internet.

Thomas had 5 bouts at 154 and 4 at 160 after his first Ray Leonard fight. Prior to him challenging Hagler for the Middleweight Title.
The fact is he couldn't make 147 anymore!
All the big welters moved up to 54 and 60 and beyond because they were all over 5'10' and made 147 easily until they matured, fighters mature it would be nice if some fans would too.

You're a liar. Hearns fought at 154, went to 160 jumped to 175 and then came back down to 160 and later went back to 175. He didn't have to do that. You're protecting a coward.

[Ray Corso]

Calling people you don't know cowards and liars seems to be who you are!
Another brave lil' ***** in the safety of your mommies house?
Seems to be more than a few of your type here, "internet warriors" hahaha..
good bye,
Ray

I guess that makes Hagler, Monzon, Pryor, and Tzu and a few hundred other champions who never moved up to a heavier weight class a bunch of cowards too. By the way what's holding Canelo up from fighting this coward GGG at the 160 pound weight limit middleweight champs are supposed to fight at? A smart fighter fights at his best weight. Fighting at a weight that is too heavy for a fighter isn't brave. It's stupid.

Your avatar is very annoying.

You don't put text over the face of the person in the pic.
That's just a no-no.
