A 37 year old fighter losing 13lbs is far more effected by such a weight loss than a 27 year old. The Martinez that has suddenly become so popular made his fame at 160-165, he is not the 147-154lbs fighter of the past nor the one that would show for a present fight at 152lbs.

Ortiz weighed 164 against Mayweather and he was fighting at WELTER!
Lots of guys drop weight to fight. Margarito fought Pacquiao weighing in at 165 and that was fought at 150.
154 would be just right.
