Lamont Peterson put on that much weight for the Garcia fight, and seemingly had to give up the first 6 rounds to close out the final 6 rounds strong. Chavez Jr put on the weight that he does, but can anyway honestly say that Chavez Jr can keep on a hard 12-round pace with the weight?
Jacobs weighed in at 160lbs on Friday, showed up on fight night, and put forward a hard 12-round fight (fading a bit by the twelfth round, but that could've been due to accumulation to the fight); there's no way that Jacobs could've done that at 180-190lbs that folks are trying to create after the fact.
