    This is boxing, not who can put on the most weight so they can outweigh the other guy by 30 pounds.

    Oki-doki.

    Rubio: better than Junior but ridiculously outweighed the day of the fight.
    Lee: better than Junior but ridiculously outweighed the day of the fight.

    If you're honestly going to defend Junior just to make a point about weight gain, well........ what can I say.

    Like I said, the first time Junior steps into the ring with someone he doesn't outweigh by 30 pounds, he gets his a$$ handed to him. And we're not talking surefire HOF'er in Fonfara either.

    The shining example of my point was precisely Martinez. Rarely had such a shutout been pitched in boxing. Scratch that. Shutout isn't good enough. Perfect game is more like it. Boxing lesson. Kid totally out of his league. But Martinez was fighting someone 1 or 2 weight divisions heavier than him in there. Sort of like a matador with a ****** bull in front of him. Only a Hail Mary in the last round made the fight exciting at the end.

      It looked like a middleweight fighting a heavyweight. Was ridiculous.

      The biggest question is

        Is it a fair fight when one guy outweighs the other by a significant amount?

        The answer is NO.
