      No, young fighters move down, D.Garcia, Spence, Porter etc have all done it. Pretty much every young fighter does it. Then when they achieve their goals at their natural weight, they move up. It's pretty basic knowledge to anyone who follows boxing instead of a single fighter.

          My god, you're starting to wind me up with your ******ation now. You're struggling to understand basic English.

          Guys like Brook, Porter, Thurman, Bradley, Alexander etc all started off fighting at higher weights, then cut down in weight, that's just some top 10 welterweights, I can give you plenty of other examples.

          The guys Thurman fought at 154 were club fighters, why don't you use some common sense?

            Haymon is not a promoter, he had no idea how to guide a fighter to greatness, only sustain it when they are there. Look at the damage he is doing to quillins career.

                  Why would Thurman move up?

                  The welterweight division is super hot

                  The star at 154 is about to move up to middleweight


                  Let's make this make sense

                      Quintana is a waiter fighter in a club. Let me revise this, Quintana used to be the manager, but got demoted to gate keeper, then just club visitor, and now he needs money he is a waiter in the club.
