The measure of a fighter's greatness is to move up in weight and still win!

    That isn't the measure of greatness. The people at HBO are promoting pure fuckery.

      Even if that division is weak? with no fighters to challenge you? Sometime you have to move up in test your skills. You cant always prey on smaller/equally fighter going up in weight to fight you. Where is the risk in that?

        Alexander, Ortiz, and Khan have the frames and youth to make it work. I think Bradley should stay at 140 because it is the best weight for him IMO.

            I agree.. I think Bradley doesn't have the height or reach for WW. He might be ok though, it's a weak division for now.

            Actually, I think he could compete on even terms with Berto. He doesn't have the physical attributes that Berto does, but heart can go a long way.

              When it comes to Amir its always his chin that is in question, moving up to 140 from 135 still didnt improve his chin. Maybe just like Miguel, it could change when he try to move to 147.

                Berto destroy him, he is too strong. Tim doesnt have the power to compete against elite 147.

                  Honestly I dont see any 140 pounders can compete against elite 147. 140 is stack with big names, but I dont see anything special about them.
