I wish the young man the best. If DLH is right and he's a big kid, making 47' was no good for his health. Its pretty obvious he was getting down to the lowest weight and rehydrating. I miss same day weigh ins. I don't want to call the kid a weight bully, theres worse out there. Just hope he can stay healthy. He's a pleasure to watch.

Id like to see him come back at Canelo weight against Jose Benavidez.

I think he takes Tszyu in a brutal slugfest, foty candidate.


or, he gets sick again

I'd like to see Ortiz vs Tzsyu at 54 now that's a fight!

160 lol. This vato on that Andy Ruiz binge.

I mean, 160 could use some more talent to liven it up...

After all the missed fights you can't put the dude as the main event is all ik.

And I think Vergil should take more time off with as questionable as his health has been. Having as many issues as he's had, esp as young as he is, is an awful sign. Let boxing take a back seat for a year or so.

Disappointed he didn't become champ at 146 before his health began giving him problems. Or at least woulda loved to see him whoop that bum booty ennis
