        Caballero is also 5'11" and fights at 122.

              maybe they could go back to same day weigh-in, that would probably make him move up a division or 2
              as it would with alot of other fighters as well though

                  He's been making Welterweight for like 8 years now. It's clearly a pretty natural weight for him, so I don't see what the problem is. If he can make it without draining himself, than good for him.

                  He was blessed with a great boxers body. Can't condemn him for that.

                    When he ko'd Cotto and the steroid crap didn't stick this was the next excuse, even though Cotto did the same thing at Jr welter.

                      I'm for bringing back 8oz. I'm tired of seeing 10 oz in Vegas. 8 oz for Heavyweights as well. Maybe even 6oz for fighters from 160 and under.
