    Very good point,it gets irritating though,when his fans say he's better than SRR and that he is #1 on the ATG list!!No question he's great,but no need to over do it!!!

          i dont think he's overrated. jumping weight classes depends on how your body develops and not what you want. sure he can probably bulk up to heavy but why do that and not be effective while he can easily make smw?

              Ive always put a lot of stock into title defenses and longevity in cleaning out a division. More so then cherry picking the weakest belt holders in higher divisions just to say you're a multi-weight "champion"

                its not as simple as that. if your body cant make the weight anymore, you move up.

                      Enzo might agree with that, but even Joes mum would have told him to wise up!!!!!!!!!!
