    I thought he could, but damn he was 191 and still pretty shredded.

    I think he may be weight drained there at this point.

      Not safely, he could have been physically still developing as a man when he was at 168.....that time is over he is a full grown man now who could be walking around at near 200 if his fight night weight after camp and a weigh in is 191.

        Tough call he looks pretty lean as it is so it might be hard weight to drop. He says he can but it probably best to just fight guys comming up from 168 then going down to meet them.

          He seems like a big dude, I dont think he can, without taking something out of him. I mean, he gasses sometimes at 175!!!!

                He says he can, but I have serious doubts. It's a serious amount of weight.

                However, Joe Calzaghe and Michael Spinks used to shed serious amounts of weight, and they came out fine. It's most likely down to the individual and how gradual the loss is.

                  It's a shame, because he's better than everyone at that weight.

                    if he could make the weight comfortably why would he be fighting in a empty division instead of a loaded one with bigger fight in it? thats what makes me think he cant prob do it either ...
