he also said the weight affected him. he was dropped in the first round of that fight IIRC.
there's a bscene interview where he basically says that he's got to believe and say that he's not drained at 154, even if he is. i can't copy and paste it, but here's the link:
one of the reasons for moving down to 154 was the beating he took against JR, who was just too much for him physically. JR used drugs to make 160, and would come into the ring as a f#cking cruiserweight.
i'm trying to find a specific picture of lee next to manny steward and some standard ring ropes. they're working with the mitts. he's very, very big. he's 6'2" tall, and has broad shoulders.
here's a picture of him weighing in at 154. he looks very dry, particularly as you look at his back here, or his stomach and face in other pictures.
