Chino Maidana at 165 pounds

[creekrat77]

If you are putting on 15+ lbs for fight night, you are not a small WW. Medium/avg would be if you put on 7-10 or less, putting on 6lbs or less is small. In his last fight he put on 17lbs.

He's wasn't exactly skinny as a rail at 147. Neither is Mikey Garcia. Still, Maidana is a small welterweight and Mikey is a small light welterweight. The size comparison (dimension wise; which matters a lot) between Maidana against Ortiz was hard to miss. That was just at 140.
Obviously I don't think he can make 140 anymore similarly how Cotto out grew the division. But 147 should be his target if he wants to jump back in with the elite.
