    He did move down so you are wrong.

        I have no problem with any of this, but I'm not going to nod along and say this is fine and then condemn other champions for doing the same thing. 147-155 isn't even that much of a leap. 147-160 is higher, but these guys both agreed to it. So what's the problem?
        Floyd and genius floyd fans have a term for it.

                He came in 146 and paid a 600k fine for coming in 2lbs above the CW. I'm sure you know this, what's your point?

                        marquez was cheated on the scales by floyd, props to both Brook and Golovkin for fighting at full 160.

                            I saw the fight. Watched it from the poker table at San Manuel casino in Highland, Ca.

                                The thing is Khan and Brook are still unproven at WW, and they go up to MW. both garbage fights, but atleast with Khan-Canelo style wise khan could have just ran and outboxed canelo. Brook gets destroyed by GGG

                                    Full weight is rare these days.
