He is no more. All champs at 135 will beat him easily. Simply this guy is one dimentional...

Yeah. I can’t see him beating any of the top guys at 135.

[tophat1]

it was killing him to make to make 130, so he's moving up to 135 only to later drop down to 130 once he's older and settled into the higher weightclass.

yep, makes a load of sense

His chin and size helped him make up for his limited abilities.

I can't see him doing too well at 135.

[Oldskoolg]

That was the KO of the year. I don’t see him ever getting back to where he was.

[BigZ44]

He can't make a healthy 130 anymore, just needs to stay at 135 and give it a go there

Adrian:

It's suicide. You've seen him, you know how strong he is. You can't win.

Rocky:

Oh, Adrian. Adrian always tells the truth. No, maybe I can't win. Maybe the only thing I can do is just take everything he's got. But to beat me, he's going to have to kill me. And to kill me, he's gonna have to have the heart to stand in front of me. And to do that, he's got to be willing to die himself. I don't know if he's ready to do that. I don't know.

THERES NO EASY WAY OUT -- thats what I would of titled my post in the old boxingscene. RIP.

Dripping back to 130 after Struggling with weight isn't a good idea.

Exactly. 130 is obviously a struggle. A rematch with Valdez will not go well if that ever happens and the task is only going to get harder the longer he spends at 135 and the older he gets. Have to think the idea of doing it at 130 at some undefined point in the future is simply a pipe dream.
