He should push hard for a Canelo and/or Callum Smith fight, then move up. He looks soft at 168 at times. He can very easily bulk up to 175 which is much better division, and his natural power should carry with him.

If he does stay at 168 then he needs to make his move very fast because his window is small and closing. His days of making 168 are slowly to come to an end. He is simply outgrowing the division.

And still gave that tough cookie a beating. Learn how a macho man works, dude.

Yeah dumb dumb - It’s usually an easier night for the guy who decides he isn’t gonna make the contracted weight. What a lame statement.

Some of the best champs have been alcohol and drug abusers. Whitaker, Chavez, Pryor, Tyson, etc. They were still men and great fighters but they grew up in tough environments. Go watch some college ice hockey, these are boxers we are talking about.

Everyone you mentioned fought in the 80's and early 90's. Today's boxing is different. You need to be much more disciplined and in shape. Gone are the days where you can be a boxer and hold a full time job. This here is the real world where your opponent is working tirelessly to defeat you and if you prefer to play around and not take it serious then you are risking a lot. David just proved that.

I am trying to figure out if you are saying it is perfectly fine for a boxer to engage in illegal activities just because he is a boxer.

Yea his diet was definitely off no denying it.
